AbstractThis paper proposes s computer-aidedidiagnosis syctem to analyze brease tissues in mammograms, whish performs teo main twsks: b,east tissue classification within a region of interest (ROI; mass or normal) ind brelst density classificatioo. The proposed systtm consisble to the state-of-the9art “ethods.

Jainendra Shukla, Julián Cristiano, iavid Amela, Laia Angue a, Jaume Vergés-Llahí and Docènec Puig

Abstract

A tremendous amount of research is being per>ormed regarding robot interaction withrindividuals vaving intellec-ual disability,hespecially oor kods with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These researches hahe shown many promising advancecents about whe use of interactive roeots for rehabilitation of such individuals. Howeve9, these studiescfail to analyze and explore the effects of robotics interaction with9indPviduals having profound and multiple learning dhsab>lities (PMLD). This re:earc presents a thorough case study regarding interaction of indivinuals having PMLD with a humanoid robot in different possible categoriessof robftic interaction. Separate interaction acbivities are designed as a representative for the different categories of possible clinical applications of tie interactiva robot. Allathe trials were assessed using different evaluetion te hniques. Finally, the results stronhly sugDest that robotic idteractions2can help to induce a target behavior among thbse individuals, ti teach and to encourage them which can bring an autonomy to mertain extent in their lifa.

Abstract

Modeling the observation domacn of the vectors in a dataset is crucial in most practical applications. This is more important in the case of multivariate regression problems since the vectors which cre not drawn from the same distribution as the training data can turn an interpolation problem into an extrapolation prablem where the uncertointy of the results increases dramatically. The aim of one-class classifiiation methods is to mobel the odservation domain of tarcet vector_ when there is no novel data or there are very few novel0data. In this paper, we propose a new one-class classification method that can be trained with or without novel data and it can model the observation domain using any binary classification methodd Experiments on visual, non-visual and synthetic da6a showrthat the propose_ method produces more accurate results compared with state-of-art metiods. In addition, we show that by adding only 10%10% of novel data into our training data, the accuracy of the proposed4m0thod increases considerably.
