Successful drug discovery projects require control and optimization of compound properties related to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety. While volume and chemotype coverage of public and corporate ADME-Tox (absorption, distribution, excr...
BACKGROUND: Quantizing the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) criteria into different categories with the single ultrasound modality has always been a challenge. To achieve this, we proposed a two-stage grading system to automatically...

This paper presents a novel method for hierarchical analysis of machine learning algorithms to improve predictions of at risk patients, thus further enabling prompt therapy. Specifically, we develop a multi-layer machine learning approach to analyze ...
There is a critical need for fast, inexpensive, objective, and accurate screening tools for childhood psychopathology. Perhaps most compelling is in the case of internalizing disorders, like anxiety and depression, where unobservable symptoms cause c...
Proactive detection of hemodynamic shock can prevent organ failure and save lives. Thermal imaging is a non-invasive, non-contact modality to capture body surface temperature with the potential to reveal underlying perfusion disturbance in shock. In ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Electronic Health Record (EHR) data often include observation records that are unlikely to represent the "truth" about a patient at a given clinical encounter. Due to their high throughput, examples of such implausible obser...

Most proposed methods for TF-binding site (TFBS) predictions only use low order dependencies for predictions due to the lack of efficient methods to extract higher order dependencies. In this work, we first propose a novel method to extract higher or...
