In this thesis we present the novel semi-supervised network-based algorithm P-Net, which is able to rank and classify patients with respect to a specific phenotype or clinical outcome under study. The peculiar and innovative characteristic of this method is that it builds a network of samples/patients, where the nodes represent the samples and the edges are functional or genetic relationships b...

Previous research on automated mechanism design (proposed in UAI-02) assumed that the outcome space was flatly represented, which makes that work inapplicable if the outcome space is exponential, as it is, for example, in multi-item auctions. This paper introduces (to our knowledge) the first more concise representation for the problem, which relies on decomposing the outcome space into distinc...

in this paper, we first define spaces of single difference sequences defined by a sequence of orlicz functions without convexity and investigate their properties. then we extend this idea to spaces of double sequences and present a new matrix theoretic approach construction of such double sequence spaces.

in this paper, we deal with the subdierential concept onhadamard spaces. flat hadamard spaces are characterized, and nec-essary and sucient conditions are presented to prove that the subdif-ferential set in hadamard spaces is nonempty. proximal subdierentialin hadamard spaces is addressed and some basic properties are high-lighted. finally, a density theorem for subdierential set is establi...

introduction of modern architecture in iran and its popularization in 1950s and after, brought some new concepts in everyday life of iranian women, among which was “kitchen as heart of home-life”. younger members of current generation are grown in these modernized spaces while a bit older ones have experienced houses of traditional style. this study is designed to explore what previous concept ...

A decision problem is defined in terms of an outcome space, an action space and a loss function. Starting from these simple ingredients, we can construct: Proper Scoring Rule; Entropy Function; Divergence Function; RiemannianMetric; andUnbiasedEstimatingEquation. Fromanabstract viewpoint, the loss function defines a duality between the outcome and action spaces, while the correspondence between...

The purpose of this study was to clarify any influences by age on the outcome after multiple trauma. 520 patients (age > 20 years) were analysed after inclusion in a 3-year national multi-centre study for polytrauma injured subjects. The patients were recruited from 10 German neurosurgical university departments. Criteria for inclusion were head injury and coma at the time of admittance. The el...
