In this paper, we propose separable lattice hidden Markov models, in which multiple hidden state sequences interact to model the observation on a lattice. The proposed model can be efficiently applied for modeling images, image sequences, 3-D object models and higher dimensional applications, due to the composite structure of Markov chains which reduces the complexity while retaining good properties for multi-dimensional data. In case of 2-D lattices, the proposed model performs an elastic matching in both horizontal and vertical directions; this makes it possible to model not only invariances to the size and location of an object but also nonlinear warping in each dimension. We present a training algorithm for separable lattice HMMs based on a variational approximation. Moreover, the deterministic annealing EM (DAEM) algorithm was applied to the variational algorithm for separable lattice HMMs. Face recognition experiments on the XM2VTS database show that the proposed model has good properties for face image modeling

M-FISH (multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization) is a recently developed cytogenetic technique for cancer diagnosis and research on genetic disorders which uses 5 fluors to label uniquely each chromosome and a fluorescent DNA stain. In this paper, an automated method for chromosome classification in M-FISH images is presented. The chromosome image is initially decomposed into a set of primitive homogeneous regions through the morphological watershed transform applied to the image intensity gradient magnitude. Each segmented area is then classified using a Bayes classifier. We have evaluated our methodology on a commercial available M-FISH database. The classifier was trained and tested on non-overlapping chromosome images and an overall accuracy of 89% is achieved. By introducing feature averaging on watershed basins, the proposed technique achieves substantially better results than previous methods at a lower computational cost

Elaborating on prior work by Minka, we formulate a general computation rule for lossy messages. An important special case (with many applications in communications) is the conversion of "soft-bit" messages to Gaussian messages. By this method, the performance of a Kalman equalizer is improved, both for uncoded and coded transmission.

A rule-based decision support system is presented for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. The generation of the decision support system is realized automatically using a three stage methodology: (a) induction of a decision tree from a training set and extraction of a set of rules; (b) transformation of the set of rules into a fuzzy model and (c) optimization of the parameters of the fuzzy model. The system is evaluated using 199 subjects, each one characterized by 19 features, including demographic and history data, as well as laboratory examinations. Ten fold cross validation was employed and the average sensitivity and specificity obtained was 80% and 65% respectively. Our approach provides diagnosis based on easily acquired features and, since it is rule based, is able to provide interpretation for the decisions made

Microarray technology is a powerful tool for analyzing the expression of a large number of genes in parallel. A typical microarray image consists of a few thousands of spots which determine the level of gene expression in the sample. In this paper we propose a method which automatically addresses each spot area in the image. Initially, a preliminary segmentation of the image is produced using a template matching algorithm. Next, grid and spot finding are realized. The position of non-expressed spots is located and finally a Voronoi diagram is employed to fit the grid on the image. Our method has been evaluated in a set of five images consisting of 45960 spots, from the Stanford microarray database and the reported accuracy for spot detection was 93%

The electroencephalogram (EEG) consists of an underlying background process with superimposed transient nonstationarities such as epileptic spikes (ESs). The detection of ESs in the EEG is of particular importance in the diagnosis of epilepsy. In this paper a new approach for detecting ESs in EEG recordings is presented. It is based on a time-varying autoregressive model (TVAR) that makes use of the nonstationarities of the EEG signal. The autoregressive (AR) parameters are estimated via Kalman filtering (KF). In our method, the EEG signal is first preprocessed to accentuate ESs and attenuate background activity, and then passed through a thresholding function to determine ES locations. The proposed method is evaluated using simulated signals as well as real inter-ictal EEGs
