Process model matching refers to the task of creating correspondences among activities of different process models. This task is crucial whenever comparison and alignment of process models are called for. In recent years, there have been a few attempts to tackle process model matching. Yet, evaluating the obtained sets of correspondences reveals high variability in the results. Addressing this ...

The use of data mining techniques in healthcare has been noticing an increased relevance over the last few years, being applied with a variety of objectives, with the most common one being the automatic diagnostic process. In this process, data mining techniques have achieved interesting and successful results. However, when it comes to prognosis the same quality of results is not being achieve...

In this paper, we presented the annotation propagation tool we designed to be used in conjunction with the BRAT rapid annotation tool. We designed two experiments to annotate a corpus of 60 files, first not using our tool, second using our propagation tool. We evaluated the annotation time and the quality of annotations. We shown that using the annotation propagation tool reduces by 31.7% the t...

Crowdsourced demarcations of object boundaries in images (segmentations) are important for many vision-based applications. A commonly reported challenge is that a large percentage of crowd results are discarded due to concerns about quality. We conducted three studies to examine (1) how does the quality of crowdsourced segmentations differ for familiar everyday images versus unfamiliar biomedic...

BACKGROUND Although line-probe assays (LPAs) are promising, little research has been conducted to elucidate the true nature of indeterminate LPA results or assess the ability of these assays to perform on a wide range of clinical samples. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of the commercially available GenoType(®) MTBDRplus LPA against conventional BACTEC™ MGIT™ 960 culture and drug suscep...
