The manuscript describes an ultrasound image segmentation technique based on the fractional Brownian motion (FBM) model. Here, the ultrasound images are first enhanced using a fuzzy-based technique, and later the FBM model is employed to obtain the f...
A Recommender System (RS) is an intelligent system that assists users in finding the items of their interest (e.g. books, movies, music) by preventing them to go through huge piles of data available online. In an effort to overcome the data sparsity ...
Microarray technology is utilized by the biologists, in order to compute the expression levels of thousands of genes. Cervical cancer classification utilizing gene expression data depends upon conventional supervised learning methods, wherein only la...
