A statistical monitoring approach for automotive on-board diagnostic systems
2007
The current generation of vehicle models are increasingly being equipped with on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems aimed at assessing the ‘state of health’ of important anti-pollution subsystems and components. In order to promptly diagnose and fix quality and reliability problems that may potentially affect such complex diagnostic systems, even during advanced development prior to mass production, some vehicle prototypes undergo a testing phase under realistic conditions of use (a mileage accumulation campaign). The aim of this work is to set up a statistical tool for improving the reliability of the OBD system by monitoring its operation during the mileage accumulation campaign of a new vehi…
Structural Classification of Complex Molecules by Artificial Intelligence Techniques
2011
Algorithms for classification and taxonomy bases on criteria, e.g., information entropy. The feasibility of replacing a given molecule by similar ones in the composition of a complex drug is studied. Some local anaesthetics currently in use are classified using structural properties. In taxonomy the detailed comparison of the sequences of biomolecules, proteins or nucleic acids, allows the reconstruction of a molecular phylogenetic tree. The method is applied to the classifications of (1) indazolols (against Trichomonas vaginalis), (2) fullerenes and fullerite, (3) living and heat-inactivated lactic acid bacteria against cytokines, (4) phylogenesis of avian birds and 1918 influenza virus, (…
HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN A MULTI-CRITERIA CHOICE PROBLEM WITH INDIVIDUAL TASKS OF DIFFERENT DIFFICULTIES
2003
This paper is devoted to a laboratory study of human behavior in a multi-criteria choice problem. The specific feature of the experimental study is the creation of an individually adjusted instance of a general task for each subject in accordance with his/her preferences over each criterion. Human behavior is studied in a specially constructed choice situation based on the decomposition of the alternatives of a multi-criteria problem. The procedure is based on multiple steps of pair-wise comparisons involving only some (two or three) of the original components of the alternatives. Abilities of subjects to use such comparisons and to answer the questions in a logical way are tested. The exp…
Circuit simulators for circuit analysis in graduate engineering courses
2018
Circuit simulators are extensively used as an aid in many courses at the graduate level in many different engineering and applied sciences programs. SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis) based software programs have been used for long due to their traditional market position. If we focus on circuits analysis and linear systems subjects, the features that are required from a given simulator can be found in student/limited versions of commercial EDA (Electronic Design Automation) suites or in freeware/open source codes. In this contribution, we analyse and compare the most revelant characteristics of a representative set of the software packages that are commonly adopte…
MedAI: Transparency in Medical Image Segmentation
2021
MedAI: Transparency in Medical Image Segmentation is a challenge held for the first time at the Nordic AI Meet that focuses on medical image segmentation and transparency in machine learning (ML)-based systems. We propose three tasks to meet specific gastrointestinal image segmentation challenges collected from experts within the field, including two separate segmentation scenarios and one scenario on transparent ML systems. The latter emphasizes the need for explainable and interpretable ML algorithms. We provide a development dataset for the participants to train their ML models, tested on a concealed test dataset.
Advances in the statistical methodology for the selection of image descriptors for visual pattern representation and classification
1995
Recent advances in the statistical methodology for selecting optimal subsets of features (image descriptors) for visual pattern representation and classification are presented. The paper attempts to provide a guideline about which approach to choose with respect to the a priori knowledge of the problem. Two basic approaches are reviewed and the conditions under which they should be used are specified. References to more detailed material about each one of the methods are given and experimental results supporting the main conclusions are briefly outlined.
Interoperability of Information Systems
2005
An information system is a multilevel system characterized by a “data” level, a “behavioral” level, and a “communication” level. The data level represents the data stored by the system. The behavioral level represents management and production processes carried out by the system. The processes can interact with the data level to extract, generate, and store data. The communication level relates to the network used to exchange data and activate processes between geographically distant users or machines.
Adding Synthetic Detail to Natural Terrain Using a Wavelet Approach
2002
Terrain representation is a basic topic in the field of interactive graphics. The amount of data required for good quality terrain representation offers an important challenge to developers of such systems. For users of these applications the accuracy of geographical data is less important than their natural visual appearance. This makes it possible to mantain a limited geographical data base for the system and to extend it generating synthetic data.In this paper we combine fractal and wavelet theories to provide extra data which keeps the natural essence of actual information available. The new levels of detail(LOD) for the terrain are obtained applying an inverse Wavelet Transform (WT) to…
<title>Dynamic integration of multiple data mining techniques in a knowledge discovery management system</title>
1999
One of the most important directions in improvement of data mining and knowledge discovery, is the integration of multiple classification techniques of an ensemble of classifiers. An integration technique should be able to estimate and select the most appropriate component classifiers from the ensemble. We present two variations of an advanced dynamic integration technique with two distance metrics. The technique is one variation of the stacked generalization method, with an assumption that each of the component classifiers is the best one, inside a certain sub area of the entire domain area. Our technique includes two phases: the learning phase and the application phase. During the learnin…
Multivariate statistical technique over QoS variables to analyze video quality metrics on IEEE 802.11ac networks
2017
[EN] We present the results from a measurementbasedperformance evaluation of wireless networks basedon IEEE 802.11ac standard in an indoor environment, withthe aim to analyze their performance under high definitionstreaming video applications. We focus our study on analyzingthe highest performance of these standards using off-theshelfequipment as well as the behavior of Quality of Servicevariables and how they affect to the video quality. Thus, wehave analyzed and measured these variables and have applieda multivariate statistical technique, called Factor Analysis,and finally discuss their behavior.
