Medical Data Mining for Heart Diseases and the Future of Sequential Mining in Medical Field
2018
Data Mining in general is the act of extracting interesting patterns and discovering non-trivial knowledge from a large amount of data. Medical data mining can be used to understand the events happened in the past, i.e. studying a patients vital signs to understand his complications and discover why he has died, or to predict the future by analyzing the events that had happened. In this chapter we are presenting an overview on studies that use data mining to predict heart failure and heart diseases classes. We will also focus on one of the trendiest data-mining field, namely the Sequential Mining, which is a very promising paradigm. Due to its important results in many fields, this chapter …
Overview on Sequential Mining Algorithms and Their Extensions
2018
The main purpose of data mining is to extract hidden, important and nontrivial information from a database. Sequential Pattern Mining is a data mining technique that aims to obtain and analyze frequent subsequences from sequences of events or items with or without time constraint. The importance of a sequence can be measured based on different factors such as the frequency of their occurrence, their length and also their profit. The pattern mining or the discovery of important and unexpected patterns and information was first introduced in 1990 with the well-known Apriori algorithm. Then, and after many studies on frequent pattern mining, a new approach appeared: Sequential Pattern Mining. …
Hop: Histogram of patterns for human action representation
2017
This paper presents a novel method for representing actions in terms of multinomial distributions of frequent sequential patterns of different length. Frequent sequential patterns are series of data descriptors that occur many times in the data. This paper proposes to learn a codebook of frequent sequential patterns by means of an apriori-like algorithm, and to represent an action with a Bag-of-Frequent-Sequential-Patterns approach. Preliminary experiments of the proposed method have been conducted for action classification on skeletal data. The method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy value in cross-subject validation.
Towards the Preservation and Dissemination of Historical Silk Weaving Techniques in the Digital Era
2019
Historical weaving techniques have evolved in time and space giving as result more or less fabrics with different aesthetical characteristics. These techniques were transferred along the main silk production centers, thanks to the European Silk Road and creating a common European Frame on themes and techniques. These had made it complicated to determine whether a fabric corresponds to one century or another. Moreover, in order to understand their creation, it is necessary to determine the number of weaves and interlacements that each textile has, therefore, mathematical models can be extracted from these layers. In this sense, three dimensional (3D) virtual representations of the internal s…
Statistical analysis of engraving traces on a 3D digital model of prehistoric stone stelae
2016
International audience; Studying cultural heritage artefacts, using 3D digital models, is gaining interest. It not only allows applications in documentation and visualisation, but also permits further contact-less examination. In this paper, we are presenting a statistical analysis of stone engravings based on features that were semi-automatically extracted from 3D acquisition data. Our objects of study are two Neolithic stone stelae and a faithful replica that was created in the course of an archaeological study. We use common statistical methods and investigate the populations of depth and diameter of the engraving traces, as well as their correlation. We observe that the erosion of the t…
Deep learning to detect built cultural heritage from satellite imagery. - Spatial distribution and size of vernacular houses in Sumba, Indonesia -
2021
Abstract In Sumba Island – Indonesia, the implantation of vernacular houses, inside and outside traditional villages, is considered to be an efficient proxy for the on-going complex cultural transformations resulting from globalization. This study presents an easily reproducible workflow allowing buildings to be automatically detected from satellite imagery, demonstrating how modern computer vision methods based on deep learning can help in this task, which would be far too time-consuming when undertaken by hand. Eight deep learning architectures based on convolutional neural networks were compared in terms of ability to identify and locate precisely traditional houses from satellite images…
Demand Sharing Inaccuracies in Supply Chains: A Simulation Study
2018
We investigate two main sources of information inaccuracies (i.e., errors and delays) in demand information sharing along the supply chain (SC). Firstly, we perform a systematic literature review on inaccuracy in demand information sharing and its impact on supply chain dynamics. Secondly, we model several SC settings using system dynamics and assess the impact of such information inaccuracies on SC performance. More specifically, we study the impact of four factors (i.e., demand error, demand delay, demand variability, and average lead times) using three SC dynamic performance indicators (i.e., bullwhip effect, inventory variability, and average inventory). The results suggest that demand …
Refitting Solutions Promoted by $$\ell _{12}$$ Sparse Analysis Regularizations with Block Penalties
2019
International audience; In inverse problems, the use of an l(12) analysis regularizer induces a bias in the estimated solution. We propose a general refitting framework for removing this artifact while keeping information of interest contained in the biased solution. This is done through the use of refitting block penalties that only act on the co-support of the estimation. Based on an analysis of related works in the literature, we propose a new penalty that is well suited for refitting purposes. We also present an efficient algorithmic method to obtain the refitted solution along with the original (biased) solution for any convex refitting block penalty. Experiments illustrate the good be…
Unsupervised Eye Blink Artifact Identification in Electroencephalogram
2018
International audience; The most prominent type of artifact contaminating electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is the eye blink (EB) artifact. Hence, EB artifact detection is one of the most crucial pre-processing step in EEG signal processing before this artifact can be removed. In this work, an approach that identifies EB artifacts without human supervision and automated varying threshold setting is proposed and evaluated. The algorithm functions on the basis of correlation between two EEG electrodes, Fp1 and Fp2, followed by EB artifact threshold determination utilizing the amplitude displacement from the mean. The proposed approach is validated and evaluated in terms of accuracy and error…
Conception d'architectures compactes pour la détection spatiotemporelle d'actions en temps réel
2022
This thesis tackles the spatiotemporal action detection problem from an online, efficient, and real-time processing point of view. In the last decade, the explosive growth of video content has driven a broad range of application demands for automating human action understanding. Aside from accurate detection, vast sensing scenarios in the real-world also mandate incremental, instantaneous processing of scenes under restricted computational budgets. However, current research and related detection frameworks are incapable of simultaneously fulfilling the above criteria. The main challenge lies in their heavy architectural designs and detection pipelines to extract pertinent spatial and tempor…
