A method for predicting survival rates of medical patients includes providing a set D of survival data for a plurality of medical patients, providing a regression model having an associated parameter vector β, providing an example x0 of a medical patient whose survival probability is to be classified, calculating a parameter vector {circumflex over (β)} that maximizes a log-likelihood function of β over the set of survival data, l(β|D), wherein the log likelihood l(β|D) is a strictly concave function of β and is a function of the scalar xβ, calculating a weight w0 for example x0, calculating an updated parameter vector β* that maximizes a function l(β|D∪{(y0,x0,w0)}), wherein data points (y0,x0,w0) augment set D, calculating a fair log likelihood ratio λƒ from {circumflex over (β)} and β* using λƒ=λ(β*|x0)+sign(λ({circumflex over (β)}|x0)){l({circumflex over (β)}|D)−l(β*|D)}, and mapping the fair log likelihood ratio λƒ to a fair price y0ƒ, wherein said fair price is a probability that class label y0 for example x0 has a value of 1.
摘要:
A method for multiple-label data analysis includes: obtaining labeled data points from more than one labeler; building a classifier that maximizes a measure relating the data points, labels on the data points and a predicted output label; and assigning an output label to an input data point by using the classifier.
摘要:
A method of classifying features in digitized images includes providing a plurality of feature points in an n-dimensional space, wherein said feature points have been extracted from a digitized medical image, formulating a support vector machine to classify said feature point into one of two sets, wherein each said feature classification vector is transformed by an adjacency matrix defined by those points that are nearest neighbors of said feature, and solving said support vector machine by a linear optimization algorithm to determine a classifying plane that separates the feature vectors into said two sets.
摘要:
CAD (computer-aided diagnosis) systems and applications for breast imaging are provided, which implement methods to automatically extract and analyze features from a collection of patient information (including image data and/or non-image data) of a subject patient, to provide decision support for various aspects of physician workflow including, for example, automated diagnosis of breast cancer other automated decision support functions that enable decision support for, e.g., screening and staging for breast cancer. The CAD systems implement machine-learning techniques that use a set of training data obtained (learned) from a database of labeled patient cases in one or more relevant clinical domains and/or expert interpretations of such data to enable the CAD systems to “learn” to analyze patient data and make proper diagnostic assessments and decisions for assisting physician workflow.
摘要:
A method and device having instructions for analyzing input data-space by learning classifiers include choosing a candidate subset from a predetermined training data-set that is used to analyze the input data-space. Candidates are temporarily added from the candidate subset to an expansion set to generate a new kernel space for the input data-space by predetermined repeated evaluations of leave-one-out errors for the candidates added to the expansion set. This is followed by removing the candidates temporarily added to the expansion set after the leave-one-out error evaluations are performed, and selecting the candidates to be permanently added to the expansion set based on the leave-one-out errors of the candidates temporarily added to the expansion set to determine the one or more classifiers.
摘要:
A method and device with instructions for analyzing an image data-space includes creating a library of one or more kernels, wherein each kernel from the library of the kernels maps the image data-space to a first data-space using at least one mapping function; and learning a linear combination of kernels in an automatic manner to generate at least one of a classifier and a regressor which is applied to the first data-space. The linear combination of kernels is used to generate a classified image-data space to detect at least one of the candidates in the classified image-data space.
