Classification of diagnoses (a.k.a. coding) is the central part of current concept based medical IR systems. Some classification systems contain over 30,000 distinct codes which makes classifying clinical documents a time consuming labor intensive and error prone process. This paper presents a simple methodology for cleaning up and reusing existing manually coded diagnostic statements mainly ex...

We determine the limiting distribution for the existence of a 2-errorcorrecting perfect code in the random graph G(n, p). Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C80

In this article we study the duals of Grassmann codes, certain codes coming from the Grassmannian variety. Exploiting their structure, we are able to count and classify all their minimum weight codewords. In this classification the lines lying on the Grassmannian variety play a central role. Related codes, namely the affine Grassmann codes, were introduced more recently in [1], while their dual...

Introduction Mortality data are widely used to describe and compare health characteristics between countries. The International Classification of diseases (ICD), published and updated by the World Health Organisation (WHO), is used by most countries to code causes of death [OMS92]. ICD is now more than one century old and the last revision of this classification (ICD10), reflecting the increasi...

Collaborative code review has become an integral part of the collaborative design process in the domain of software development. However, there are well-documented challenges and limitations to collaborative code review—for instance, highquality code reviews may require significant time and effort for the programmers, whereas faster, lower-quality reviews may miss code defects. To address these...

Two classification schemes for Steiner triple systems on 15 points have been proposed recently: one based on the binary code spanned by the blocks, the other on the root system attached to the lattice affinely generated by the blocks. It is shown here that the two approaches are equivalent. 1991 AMS Classification: Primary: 05B07; Secondary: 11H06, 94B25.

This paper presents a proposal for relaxed relevance for patent mining. The essential argument is that assignment of a complete international patent classification (IPC) to a document is a difficult task and that because the IPC code has several levels of hierarchy, relaxed relevance judgments as higher levels may provide better performance of the same classification algorithms.

in this paper, efforts are made to compare the safety of steel moment resistant frames designed according to different editions of the iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings. also, failure risk of a low and medium height frame which designed for high and low seismicity regions according to three editions of the code are evaluated. first, the testing cases were design...

beryllium chemical combination has a considerable effect on the design and fabrication of the241am9be neutron source. in this investigation the beryllium combinations were studied as a generator ofneutrons with various mass percentage, and the neutron yields were also calculated using the results of thealice and srim codes calculations per unit incident charge. the neutron yields of beryllium ...

This paper propose a multithreaded Genetic Programming classification evaluation model using NVIDIA CUDA GPUs to reduce the computational time due to the poor performance in large problems. Two different classification algorithms are benchmarked using UCI Machine Learning data sets. Experimental results compare the performance using single and multithreaded Java, C and GPU code and show the eff...
