Learning Methods for Automatic Classification of Biomedical Volume Datasets

This paper analyzes how to introduce machine learning algorithms into the process of direct volume rendering. A conceptual framework for the optical property function elicitation process is proposed and particularized for the use of attribute-value classifiers. The process is evaluated in terms of accuracy and speed using four different off-theshelf classifiers (J48, Nave Bayes, Simple Logistic and ECOC-Adaboost). The empirical results confirm the classification of biomedical datasets as a tough problem where an opportunity for further research emerges.
