[Purpose] Currently, various simulators are produced and used for athlete's exercise, rehabilitation, and training. In this study, we analyzed the kinematic factors of sectional and total movements in healthy participants by providing group-dependent information during simulated exercise. [Subjects and Methods] Participants in this study included 26 male adults (non-experts and experts); expert...

Rules are extracted from the DIMLP neural network in polynomial time with respect to the size of the classification problem and the size of the network. With rules is possible to ask how well do inferences made compare with knowledge and heuristics of experts. Although fidelity of generated rules from the training set is 100%, perfect fidelity on new unknown data samples is not guaranteed. In t...

OBJECTIVES The field epidemiologist system of South Korea, which employs public health doctors who are relatively more readily available, was created in 1999 to ensure a ready supply of experts for epidemiological investigations and enable an effective response for new and reemerging infectious diseases. However, the 2015 outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome revealed limitations in the ...

As the possibilities of combining experts become a more important direction in intelligent systems, difficulties arise in ways of generating these various experts and how to effectively use them concurrently. This is very evident in designing multiple classifier systems. The degree and method by which multiple classifier systems share training resources among their components can be a measure o...

Experts are increasingly being called upon to quantify their knowledge, particularly in situations where data is not yet available or of limited relevance. In many cases this involves asking experts to estimate probabilities. For example experts, in ecology or related fields, might be called upon to estimate probabilities of incidence or abundance of species, and how they relate to environmenta...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To develop a robotic surgery training regimen integrating objective skill assessment for otolaryngology and head and neck surgery trainees consisting of training modules of increasing complexity leading up to procedure-specific training. In particular, we investigated applications of such a training approach for surgical extirpation of oropharyngeal tumors via a transoral ...

The functional responses (e.g., dielectric, magnetic, catalytic, etc.) of many industrially-relevant materials are controlled by their local structure-a term that refers to the atomic arrangements on a scale ranging from atomic (sub-nanometer) to several nanometers. Thus, accurate knowledge of local structure is central to understanding the properties of nanostructured materials, thereby placin...

In this paper, we show how a topographic mapping can be created from a product of experts. We learn the parameters of the mapping using gradient descent on the negative logarithm of the probability density function of the data under the model. We show that the mapping, though retaining its product of experts form, becomes more like a mixture of experts during training.

Mixtures of Experts combine the outputs of several “expert” networks, each of which specializes in a different part of the input space. This is achieved by training a “gating” network that maps each input to a distribution over the experts. Such models show promise for building larger networks that are still cheap to compute at test time, and more parallelizable at training time. In this this w...
