Hilbert’s two-dimensional space-filling curve is appreciated for its good locality-preserving properties and easy implementation for many applications. However, Hilbert did not describe how to generalize his construction to higher dimensions. In fact, the number of ways in which this may be done ranges from zero to infinite, depending on what properties of the Hilbert curve one considers

A deep neural network (DNN) consists of a nonlinear transformation from an input to a feature representation, followed by a common softmax linear classifier. Though many efforts have been devoted to designing a proper architecture for nonlinear transformation, little investigation has been done on the classifier part. In this paper, we show that a properly designed classifier can improve robust...

We propose a novel algorithm for voxel-by-voxel compartment model analysis based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) algorithm. Voxel-by-voxel compartment model analysis can derive functional images of living tissues, but it suffers from high noise statistics in voxel-based PET data and extended calculation times. We initially set up a feature space of the target radiopharmaceutical composed of a m...

An electronic nose (EN) is an artificial olfactory system that tries to perform the same task as human olfactory system and widely used in the gas analysis field. EN consists of an array of chemical sensors possessing broad specificity, coupled to electronics and software that allow feature extraction – extraction of salient data for further analysis, together with pattern recognition – identif...

Purpose – This paper seeks to present a prognostics approach using the Mahalanobis distance (MD) method to predict the reliability of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) in temperature-humidity-bias (THB) conditions. Design/methodology/approach – Data collected during THB testing of 96 MLCCs were analyzed using the MD method. In the THB tests, three parameters (capacitance (C), dissipation fa...
