Most information extraction (IE) systems treat separate potential extractions as independent. However, in many cases, considering influences between different potential extractions could improve overall accuracy. Statistical methods based on undirected graphical models, such as conditional random fields (CRFs), have been shown to be an effective approach to learning accurate IE systems. We pres...

We present two studies on robustness of feature extractions for an remote classroom intelligent autopilot: (1) robust feature extractions and (2) a simple automated calibration of webcams. For the robust feature extractions, use of quantified vectors is studied as feature extractions of fuzzy classifiers in Perceptual State Machine, i.e. our core Computational Intelligence model for this intell...

Dental extractions are a very common veterinary procedure. As common as they are, they are not a simple undertaking and should be approached with the same depth of preparation as any other surgical procedure. Regardless of size of the tooth, all extractions start with the 9 steps used for simple single-root extractions. These are: obtain consent, expose a dental radiograph, obtain proper lighti...

OBJECTIVE Tooth extractions may trigger clinical symptoms of hereditary angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (HAE-C1-INH). The aim of this study was to determine how many tooth extractions were followed by symptoms of HAE-C1-INH in patients with and without preoperative short-term prophylaxis with C1 inhibitor concentrate. STUDY DESIGN Tooth extractions and clinical symptoms of HAE-C1-IN...

Knowledge bases (KB) constructed through information extraction from text play an important role in query answering and reasoning. Since automatic extraction methods yield results of varying quality, typically, only high-confidence extractions are retained, which ensures precision at the expense of recall. Consequently, the noisy extractions are prone to propagating false negatives when used fo...

Biobased and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are promising alternatives to common plastics. Due their high production costs, only a minimal share of global plastic is composed PHA. A major contributor the costs minimizing potential occupy larger market downstream process. To obtain recovery yields pure products, most approaches rely on large amounts solvents. While short-chain-length...

The detectability of planetesimal impacts on imaged exoplanets can be measured using Jupiter during the 1994 comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 events as a proxy. By integrating the whole planet flux with and without impact spots, the effect of the impacts at wavelengths from 2 4 μm is revealed. Jupiter’s reflected light spectrum in the near-infrared is dominated by its methane opacity including a deep ban...
