Features: The More The Better

In pattern recognition problems, it is usually recommended to extract a low number of features in order to avoid the computational cost. However, using today’s computer capabilities we are able to extract and process more features than before. In this way, in an off-line training process, it is possible to extract a very large number of features with the goal of finding relevant features for th...

Do More Friends Mean Better Grades? Student Popularity and Academic Achievement

Peer interactions have been argued to play a major role in student academic achievement. Recent work has focused on measuring the structure of peer interactions with the location of the student in their social network and has found a positive relationship between student popularity and academic achievement.

[Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation: more treatment could mean better treatment].

The standard treatment of severe CIMR is coronary surgery combined with mitral valve replacement or repair. Historically, this procedure is associated with a high hospi...
