The proposed method is differentiated from others as follows: it incorporates lexical analysis techniques into supervised learning for extracting abbreviations; it utilises text-chunking techniques to identify LFs of abbreviations; it significantly improves recall. The experimental results show that our approach outperforms the leading abbreviation algorithms, ExtractAbbrev, ALICE and Acrophile and a collocation-based approach at least by 4.8, 6.0, 9.0 and 6.0%, respectively, in both precision and recall on the Gold Standard Development corpus.","PeriodicalId":216126,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Continuous changes in regional demographics and transportation infrastructure imply that response plans are not static, but undergo frequent revisions. These plans outline specific response scenarios attempting to meet federal mandated performance criteria. However, there are only few computational tools available that can aid in the analysis of response plan performance. REsponse PLan ANalyser (RE-PLAN), a computational framework with GIS capabilities, facilitates the analysis of response plans and their corresponding placement of resources. This paper introduces the RE-PLAN architecture and its underlying methodologies. The principles of plan analysis are demonstrated by applying RE-PLAN to a synthetically generated geographic region and the results of each analysis step are shown.","PeriodicalId":216126,"journal":{"name":"Int.

We propose a hybrid SVM to combat class imbalance rampant in biomedical signals. Consequently, we significantly reduce the number patients falsely classified as normal. The Hybrid SVM is suitable for a variety of multiclass problems; here, we used the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database, and the position and magnitude of local singularities as features. We enhance relevant singularity-driven Holder features proposed earlier; while the use of these features results in higher accuracy, using the Hybrid SVM shows even more gains.","PeriodicalId":216126,"journal":{"name":"Int.

Using two experimental microarray datasets of the yeast cell cycle, we also evaluate how successfully the available models can address the current challenges with the increasing size of the datasets.","PeriodicalId":216126,"journal":{"name":"Int.

The initialisation to align the statistical model is solved by a particle filter on a dynamic Bayesian network to fit a multiple component geometrical model to the X-ray images. The contour extraction is accomplished by a non-rigid 2D?3D registration between the X-ray images and the statistical model, in which bone contours are extracted by a graphical-model-based Bayesian inference.

By combining FEM-based sample generation and SDM-Based soft tissue prediction, we are able to capture the prior knowledge of bone-related soft tissue deformation. Then the post-operative appearance can be predicted in a more efficient way from a Br-SDM based optimisation. Our experiments have shown that Br-SDM is able to give comparable soft tissue prediction accuracy with respect to conventional FEM-based prediction while reducing the computation cost from O(n²) to O(n) at the same time.","PeriodicalId":216126,"journal":{"name":"Int.
