Using reconstructed spirograms, the development and application of a backpropagation mapping network simulator to two pulmonary function classification problems is described. In the first problem, the mapping network correctly classified 95% of previously unseen volume-time curves as being indicative of normal, restricted, or obstructed pulmonary function. In the second problem, the mapping network performed at a level equivalent to a discriminant function based on standard spirometric parameters in differentiating between spirograms indicative of normal and diseased subjects. The ability of the neural network to automatically learn patterns of abnormality in biological signals makes it a potentially powerful screening tool.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

Technique have been described that assist the searcher with a query or information need by providing graphs showing the quality of past retrieval performance for that specific query, as well as expected future performance. Documents or text fragments (from a hypertext system) are ranked for possible presentation to the searcher based on the document of fragment's odds of relevance. The expected performance is computed from knowledge gained from relevance judgments provided by the searcher about the quality of the retrieved documents, as well as any system knowledge available about possible initial values of parameters of distributions describing the occurrence of features of relevance and all text fragments. The individual documents do not need to be examined to predict performance.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

These descriptions are organized into a description scheme, thus making it possible for physicians to use visual interpretation to control the whole description process. At each moment during an interpretation activity, the content of the data structure can be shown to the user in a graphical manner. Using this method, the progress of the process and the reasons why an interpretation strategy is followed can be controlled by the user.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.

The ANN accurately tracks the change of rate over a wide range of heart rates, and is robust in the presence of arrhythmic and anomalous conditions. Such a network has potential application in the development of a robust heart rate monitor or in the enhancement of the rhythm monitoring system. The ANN was trained using the backpropagation learning algorithm. The performance of the trained network was evaluated using an independent set of R-R intervals. Of the 270 test exemplars, in 226 cases the predicted prevailing R-R interval was within 1% of the observed prevailing R-R interval, in 38 cases the prediction was within 2% of the observed, and in the remaining six cases the prediction was within 4% of the observed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":365366,"journal":{"name":"[1990] Proceedings.
