Quenched and annealed free energies
1984
This paper gives a simple exposition of the Nishimori method to solve certain quenched, random bond spin-glass models. It allows a transparent physical interpretation in terms of annealed systems. As an application a special solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with a discrete probability distribution is obtained and shown to agree with the solution for the Gaussian case. This substantiates the claim that the averaged free energy does not depend on the details of the probability distribution Expose simple de la methode de Nishimori pour resoudre certains modeles de verres de spin avec interactions aleatoires. Interpretation transparente en termes de systemes recuits. Presentation d…
An Automatic Method for Assessing Spiking of Tibial Tubercles Associated with Knee Osteoarthritis
2022
Efficient and scalable early diagnostic methods for knee osteoarthritis are desired due to the disease’s prevalence. The current automatic methods for detecting osteoarthritis using plain radiographs struggle to identify the subjects with early-stage disease. Tibial spiking has been hypothesized as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Previous research has demonstrated an association between knee osteoarthritis and tibial spiking, but the connection to the early-stage disease has not been investigated. We study tibial spiking as a feature of early knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, we develop a deep learning based model for detecting tibial spiking from plain radiographs. We collected an…
Nonlinear black-box models for short-term forecasting of air temperature in the town of Palermo
2011
Weather data are crucial to correctly design buildings and their heating and cooling systems and to assess their energy performances. In the intensely urbanized towns the effect of climatic parameters is further emphasized by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, known as the increase in the air temperature of urban areas, compared to the one measured in the extra-urban areas. The analysis of the heat island needs detailed local climate data which can be collected only by a dedicated weather monitoring system. The Department of Energy and Environmental Researches of the University of Palermo (Italy) has built up a weather monitoring system that works 24 hours per day and makes data availa…
Wykorzystanie sztucznej sieci neuronowej do diagnostyki związków chemicznych przy pomocy ich widm w podczerwieni
2013
W artykule przedstawiono możliwości zastosowania sztucznej sieci neuronowej w identyfikacji związków chemicznych metodą tzw. „odcisku palca” oraz opisano budowę opracowanego specjalnie do tego celu narzędzia z wykorzystaniem SSN, jak też sprecyzowano wymogi, jakie muszą być spełnione do jej poprawnego funkcjonowania.
