Semisupervised kernel orthonormalized partial least squares
2012
This paper presents a semisupervised kernel orthonormalized partial least squares (SS-KOPLS) algorithm for non-linear feature extraction. The proposed method finds projections that minimize the least squares regression error in Hilbert spaces and incorporates the wealth of unlabeled information to deal with small size labeled datasets. The method relies on combining a standard RBF kernel using labeled information, and a generative kernel learned by clustering all available data. The positive definiteness of the kernels is proven, and the structure and information content of the derived kernels is studied. The effectiveness of the proposed method is successfully illustrated in standard UCI d…
Semisupervised Kernel Feature Extraction for Remote Sensing Image Analysis
2014
This paper presents a novel semisupervised kernel partial least squares (KPLS) algorithm for nonlinear feature extraction to tackle both land-cover classification and biophysical parameter retrieval problems. The proposed method finds projections of the original input data that align with the target variable (labels) and incorporates the wealth of unlabeled information to deal with low-sized or underrepresented data sets. The method relies on combining two kernel functions: the standard radial-basis-function kernel based on labeled information and a generative, i.e., probabilistic, kernel directly learned by clustering the data many times and at different scales across the data manifold. Th…
Psoriasis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
2018
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psoriasis (PS) are associated conditions. The reason for this association lies in the sharing of predisposition genes and common immunological mechanisms. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This review will focus on the interplay between IBD and PS, with details on prevalence and phenotype of PS in IBD, genetics, pathogenetic pathways, and therapy. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> Microbiome seems relevant in both conditions: a reduction of beneficial bacteria has been observed. IBD and PS have in common some comorbidities like cardiovascular disease, similar risk of cancer …
Neuron-Glial Interaction During Injury and Edema of the CNS
1994
During injury and ischemia of the CNS mediator compounds are released or activated which cause secondary swelling and damage of nerve cells. Such mediators are glutamate, acidosis, free fatty acids, or high extracellular potassium. Glial homeostatic mechanisms are activated to prevent the secondary injury from these mediators. The glial clearance mechanisms have been studied in detail using in vitro systems allowing for a close control of the glial environment. Current evidence suggests glial swelling to occur together with glutamate uptake or in response to extracellular acidosis. Glial swelling, therefore, is rather the result of homeostatic mechanisms than an indication of glial demise.
A family of kernel anomaly change detectors
2014
This paper introduces the nonlinear extension of the anomaly change detection algorithms in [1] based on the theory of reproducing kernels. The presented methods generalize their linear counterparts, under both the Gaussian and elliptically-contoured assumptions, and produce both improved detection accuracies and reduced false alarm rates. We study the Gaussianity of the data in Hilbert spaces with kernel dependence estimates, provide low-rank kernel versions to cope with the high computational cost of the methods, and give prescriptions about the selection of the kernel functions and their parameters. We illustrate the performance of the introduced kernel methods in both pervasive and anom…
Influence of Innovative Processing on γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Contents in Plant Food Materials
2017
Over the last several decades, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has attracted much attention due to its diverse physiological implications in plants, animals, and microorganisms. GABA naturally occurs in plant materials and its concentrations may vary considerably, from traces up to μmol/g (dry basis) depending on plant matrix, germination stage, and processing conditions, among other factors. However, due to its important biological activities, considerable interest has been shown by both food and pharmaceutical industries to improve its concentration in plants. Natural and conventional treatments such as mechanical and cold stimulation, anoxia, germination, enzyme treatment, adding exogenous gl…

Semi-Supervised Remote Sensing Image Classification based on Clustering and the Mean Map Kernel
2008
This paper presents a semi-supervised classifier based on the combination of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and the mean map kernel. The proposed method uses the most reliable samples in terms of maximum likelihood to compute a kernel function that accurately reflects the similarity between clusters in the kernel space. The proposed method improves classification accuracy in situations where the available labeled information does not properly describe the classes in the test image.
