Automatic prediction of coronary artery disease from clinical narratives.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is not only the most common form of heart disease, but also the leading cause of death in both men and women (Coronary Artery Disease: MedlinePlus, 2015). We present a system that is able to automatically predict whether...

Object Extraction in Cluttered Environments via a P300-Based IFCE.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
One of the fundamental issues for robot navigation is to extract an object of interest from an image. The biggest challenges for extracting objects of interest are how to use a machine to model the objects in which a human is interested and extract t...

Detecting Abnormal Word Utterances in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders: Machine-Learning-Based Voice Analysis Versus Speech Therapists.

Perceptual and motor skills
Abnormal prosody is often evident in the voice intonations of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. We compared a machine-learning-based voice analysis with human hearing judgments made by 10 speech therapists for classifying children with auti...

Data- and expert-driven rule induction and filtering framework for functional interpretation and description of gene sets.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: High-throughput methods in molecular biology provided researchers with abundance of experimental data that need to be interpreted in order to understand the experimental results. Manual methods of functional gene/protein group interpretat...

Qualitative spatial logic descriptors from 3D indoor scenes to generate explanations in natural language.

Cognitive processing
The challenge of describing 3D real scenes is tackled in this paper using qualitative spatial descriptors. A key point to study is which qualitative descriptors to use and how these qualitative descriptors must be organized to produce a suitable cogn...

Randomized Trial on the Effects of Attentional Focus on Motor Training of the Upper Extremity Using Robotics With Individuals After Chronic Stroke.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To compare the long-term effects of external focus (EF) and internal focus (IF) of attention after 4 weeks of arm training.

Improving dense conditional random field for retinal vessel segmentation by discriminative feature learning and thin-vessel enhancement.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As retinal vessels in color fundus images are thin and elongated structures, standard pairwise based random fields, which always suffer the "shrinking bias" problem, are not competent for such segmentation task. Recently, a...

A systematic review of gait analysis methods based on inertial sensors and adaptive algorithms.

Gait & posture
The conventional methods to assess human gait are either expensive or complex to be applied regularly in clinical practice. To reduce the cost and simplify the evaluation, inertial sensors and adaptive algorithms have been utilized, respectively. Thi...

Mind Games: Game Engines as an Architecture for Intuitive Physics.

Trends in cognitive sciences
We explore the hypothesis that many intuitive physical inferences are based on a mental physics engine that is analogous in many ways to the machine physics engines used in building interactive video games. We describe the key features of game physic...

Assessment of pose repeatability and specimen repositioning of a robotic joint testing platform.

Medical engineering & physics
This paper describes the quantitative assessment of a robotic testing platform, consisting of an industrial robot and a universal force-moment sensor, via the design of fixtures used to hold the tibia and femur of cadaveric knees. This platform was u...
