First, it does not suffice to simply alter the cell neighborhood (be it von Neumann or Moore), and second, going from 2D to 3D means that the number of operations increases by an order of magnitude, thus GPU acceleration becomes a necessity, advantage inherent to cellular automata approaches. When discussing 3D medical imagistics, we mean that the entire stack of slices from a certain sequence within an acquisition is stored as a single entity. This, in turn, enables us to accurately segment whole volumes in a single run, which would otherwise need per-slice segmentation followed by a stitching post-process. This paper focuses mainly on a thorough benchmark analysis of the 3D Unsupervised Grow Cut technique. We discuss algorithm speed of convergence, stability and behavior with respect to global meta-parameters such as segmentation threshold, keeping track of output quality metrics as the algorithm unfolds. Our end goal is to segment the heart cavities from cardiac MRI and to yield an interactive 3D reconstruction which can be easily handled and analyzed by the radiologist.","PeriodicalId":273805,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127261982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a solution to it, we have recently proposed HyGRAR, a hybrid classification model which combines Gradual Relational Association Rules (GRARs) with ANNs. ANNs were used to learn gradual relations that were then considered in a mining process so as to discover the interesting GRARs characterizing the defective and non-defective software entities, respectively. The classification of a new entity based on the discriminative GRARs was made through a non-adaptive heuristic method. In current paper, we propose to enhance HyGRAR through autonomously learning the classification methodology. Evaluation experiments performed on two open-source data sets indicate that the enhanced HyGRAR classifier outperforms the related approaches evaluated on the same two data sets.","PeriodicalId":273805,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC)","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115505172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measuring prediction uncertainty plays an essential role in fields such as medicine, physics and biology where the information about prediction accuracy can be essential. In this context only a few approaches address the question of how much the predicted values can be trusted. Neural networks are popular models, but unlike the statistical models, they do not quantify the uncertainty involved in the prediction process. In this work we investigate several regression models with a focus on estimating prediction intervals that statistical and machine learning models can provide. The analysis is conducted for a case study aiming to predict the number of crayfish in Romanian rivers based on landscape and water quality information.","PeriodicalId":273805,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126212893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that deep learning can overcome traditional algorithms in image classification as well as object recognition and face recognition tasks. In this paper we are inspecting techniques of deep learning that deals with topical issues in the field of Computer Vision: real-time face detection and face recognition using embedded system and GPU processing on NVidia Tegra X2 (Jetson TX2). In the first part of our work we are proposing a novel experimental research to the problem of face detection and recognition in autonomous driving that use a new deep convolutional neural network model, named FADNet. The architecture model was used on a existing dataset containing more then 13.000 images of 2.000 different faces from different cultures, on which we gained an accuracy of 81.78%, along with an accuracy of 84.45% on a detection dataset containing new 8.600 images. In the final phase of the experimental research we did a real-time test on a dataset of self-acquired video frames from Jetson TX2 embedded system camera, achieving an accuracy of 67.45%, which is a promising result for real-time processing. Last but not least, accuracy and inference time are taken into account by comparing time performance between CPU and GPU implementations.","PeriodicalId":273805,"journal":{"name":"2018 20th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC)","volume":"125 22","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120841447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
