assessment of embryo quality in order to choose the embryos that most likely result in pregnancy is the critical goal in assisted reproductive technologies (art). the current trend in human in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (ivf/et) protocols is to decrease the rate of multiple pregnancies after multiple embryo transfer with maintaining the pregnancy rate at admissible levels (according to...

It is important in information retrieval (IR), information extraction, or classification tasks that morphologically related forms are conflated under the same stem (using stemmer) or lemma (using morphological analyzer). To achieve this for the English language, algorithmic stemming or various morphological analysis approaches have been suggested. Based on Cross-Language Evaluation Forum test c...

We propose a quantitative evaluation of morphological hierarchies (quasi-flat zones, constraint connectivity, watersheds, observation scale) in a novel framework based on the marked segmentation problem. We created a set of automatically generated markers for the one object image datasets of Grabcut and Weizmann. In order to evaluate the hierarchies, we applied the same segmentation strategy by...

Unsupervised learning of morphological segmentation of words in a language, based only on a large corpus of words, is a challenging task. Evaluation of the learned segmentations is a challenge in itself, due to the inherent ambiguity of the segmentation task. There is no way to posit unique “correct” segmentation for a set of data in an objective way. Two models may arrive at different ways of ...
