Download or read book Soft Computing for Biomedical Applications and Related Topics written by Vladik Kreinovich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents innovative intelligent techniques, with an emphasis on their biomedical applications. Although many medical doctors are willing to share their knowledge – e.g. by incorporating it in computer-based advisory systems that can benefit other doctors – this knowledge is often expressed using imprecise (fuzzy) words from natural language such as “small,” which are difficult for computers to process. Accordingly, we need fuzzy techniques to handle such words. It is also desirable to extract general recommendations from the records of medical doctors’ decisions – by using machine learning techniques such as neural networks. The book describes state-of-the-art fuzzy, neural, and other techniques, especially those that are now being used, or potentially could be used, in biomedical applications. Accordingly, it will benefit all researchers and students interested in the latest developments, as well as practitioners who want to learn about new techniques.

Download or read book Deep Search written by Konrad Becker and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Search collects 13 texts which investigate the social and political dimensions of how we navigate the deep seas of knowledge. What do we win, and what do we lose when we move from an analogue to a digital information order? How is computer readable significance produced, how is meaning involved in machine communication? Where is the potential of having access to such vast amounts of information? What are the dangers of our reliance on search engines and are there any approaches that do not follow the currently dominating paradigm of Google? This volume answers these questions of culture, context and classification regarding information systems that should not be ignored.

Download or read book On Graph Isomorphism and the PageRank Algorithm written by Christopher J. Augeri and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphs express relationships among objects, such as the radio connectivity among nodes in unmanned vehicle swarms. Some applications may rank a swarm's nodes by their relative importance, for example, using the PageRank algorithm applied in certain search engines to order query responses. The PageRank values of the nodes correspond to a unique eigenvector that can be computed using the power method, an iterative technique based on matrix multiplication. The first result is a practical lower bound on the PageRank algorithm's execution time that is derived by applying assumptions to the PageRank perturbation's scaling value and the PageRank vector's required numerical precision. The second result establishes nodes contained in the same block of the graph's coarsest equitable partition must have equal PageRank values. The third result, the AverageRank algorithm, ensures such nodes are assigned equal PageRank values. The fourth result, the ProductRank algorithm, reduces the time needed to find the PageRank vector by eliminating certain dot products in the power method if the graph's coarsest equitable partition contains blocks composed of multiple vertices. The fifth result, the QuotientRank algorithm, uses a quotient matrix induced by the coarsest equitable partition to further reduce the time needed to compute a swarm's PageRank vector.
