The dual neural network (DNN)-based k -winner-take-all ( k WTA) model is an effective approach for finding the k largest inputs from n inputs. Its major assumption is that the threshold logic units (TLUs) can be implemented in a perfect way. However,...
In this paper, we propose a new weighted fuzzy interpolative reasoning method for sparse fuzzy rule-based systems based on the slopes of fuzzy sets. We also propose a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based weights-learning algorithm to automatically...

BACKGROUND: Multiple embryo transfers in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment increase the number of successful pregnancies while elevating the risk of multiple gestations. IVF-associated multiple pregnancies exhibit significant financial, social, ...
PURPOSE: Conventional therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are effective but suffer from poor patient adherence and may not fully alleviate major OSA-associated cardiovascular risk factors or improve certain aspects of quality of life. Predict...
BACKGROUND: Matching the necessary resources and facilities to attend to the needs of trauma patients is traditionally performed by clinicians using criteria-directed triage protocols. In the present study, it was hypothesized that an artificial inte...
