We present two techniques to improve landmark localization in images from partially annotated datasets. Our primary goal is to leverage the common situation where precise landmark locations are only provided for a small data subset, but where class labels for classification or regression tasks related to the landmarks are more abundantly available. First, we propose the framework of sequential ...

where the supremum is taken over all open balls B in R which contain x. The supremum may be +∞, so that f ∗ is actually a (nonnegative) extended real-valued function. This is sometimes referred to as the uncentered maximal function, and there are variants defined in terms of balls centered at x, or using cubes instead of balls. A nice feature of f (x) is that it is upper semicontinuous, which i...

The participating approach predicts whether a tweet, which is accompanied by multimedia content (image/video), is trustworthy (real) or deceptive (fake). We combine two different methods a) one using a semi-supervised learning scheme that leverages the decisions of two independent classifiers to produce a decision and b) one using textual patterns to extract claims about whether a post is fake ...

PURPOSE The study compares the feasibility of the quantitative volumetric and semi-quantitative approach for quantification of chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) using different imaging modalities. METHODS left ventricular (LV) volumes, regurgitant volumes (RVol) and regurgitant fractions (RF) were assessed retrospectively by 2D, 3D echocardiography and cMRI in 55 chronic AR patients. Semi-qua...

a field experiment was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution of weeds at the sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university in 2011. field was divided into 42 grids (1.5×1.5 feet) then all samples were taken from grids intersection points before corn planting, after harvesting and ear emergence stage. weed maps and semi variance analysis carried out using rw99 and gs+ s...

background: calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. this mineral is provided only by the consumption of foods containing calcium that it is recommended to use at least1300 mg daily for adults. this study is aimed to investigate the nutritional behavior of female high school students about consumption of calcium-rich foods.materials and methodsat a descriptive-analytical study, t...
