As a powerful imaging tool, X-ray computed tomography (CT) allows us to investigate the inner structures of specimens in a quantitative and nondestructive way. Limited by the implementation conditions, CT with incomplete projections happens quite oft...
Protein engineering and synthetic biology stand to benefit immensely from recent advances in silico tools for structural and functional analyses of proteins. In the context of designing novel proteins, current in silico tools inform the user on indiv...

Lung cancer postoperative complication prediction (PCP) is significant for decreasing the perioperative mortality rate after lung cancer surgery. In this paper we concentrate on two PCP tasks: (1) the binary classification for predicting whether a pa...
Obesity is associated with changes in the plasma lipids. Although simple lipid quantification is routinely used, plasma lipids are rarely investigated at the level of individual molecules. We aimed at predicting different measures of obesity based on...
BACKGROUND: In this age of big data, certain models require very large data stores in order to be informative and accurate. In many cases however, the data are stored in separate locations requiring data transfer between local sites which can cause v...
In the existing patency prediction model of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), the characteristics are based on graft flow, but no researchers selected hemodynamic factors as the characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to study whether the...
BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus is an increasingly prevalent chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to metabolize glucose. The objective of this study was to build an effective predictive model with high sensitivity and selectivity to be...
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the performance of methodologies that include machine learning (ML) algorithms to estimate average treatment effects under the assumption of exogeneity (selection on observables).
BACKGROUND: Using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) complication status of patients who underwent an operation at the University of Colorado Hospital, we developed a machine learning algorithm for ...
We propose an ensemble of multilayer feedforward neural networks to estimate the 3D position of photoelectric interactions in monolithic detectors. The ensemble is trained with data generated from optical Monte Carlo simulations only. The originality...
