In this work, we conduct comprehensive comparisons between four variants of independent component analysis (ICA) methods and three variants of sparse dictionary learning (SDL) methods, both at the subject-level, by using synthesized fMRI data with gr...
BACKGROUND: With spectral methods, noninvasive determination of blood hyperviscosity in vivo is very potential and meaningful in clinical diagnosis. In this study, 67 male subjects (41 health, and 26 hyperviscosity according to blood sample analysis ...

Big high dimensional data is becoming a challenging field of research. There exist a lot of techniques which infer information. However, because of the curse of dimensionality, a necessary step is the dimensionality reduction (DR) of the information....
BACKGROUND: The effect of gene expression data on diagnosis remains limited. Here, we show how diagnosis and classification of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) can be achieved from a single blood sample using a combination of transcriptomics and rando...
BACKGROUND: Convolutional Neural Networks can be effectively used only when data are endowed with an intrinsic concept of neighbourhood in the input space, as is the case of pixels in images. We introduce here Ph-CNN, a novel deep learning architectu...
BACKGROUND: There is a spectrum of the progression from healthy control (HC) to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) without conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD), to MCI with conversion to AD (cMCI), and to AD. This study aims to predict the different d...
Computer-based technological innovation provides advancements in sophisticated and diverse analytical instruments, enabling massive amounts of data collection with relative ease. This is accompanied by a fast-growing demand for technological progress...
