Inductive (IVAP) and cross (CVAP) Venn–Abers predictors are computationally efficient algorithms for probabilistic prediction in binary classification problems. We present a new approach to multi-class probability estimation by turning IVAPs and CVAPs into multiclass probabilistic predictors. The proposed multi-class predictors are experimentally more accurate than both uncalibrated predictors ...

The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-consuming to compute. Therefore, current predictors are not very suitable for practical applications. In this paper, we study six predictors of query performance, which can be generated prior to the retrieval process with...

Despite years of effort, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains the most devastating form of stroke with more than 40% 30-day mortality worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in one third of ICH patients, is strongly predictive of worse prognosis and potentially preventable if high-risk patients were identified in the early phase of ICH. In this review, we summarize data from recent s...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that pmv predictors could be specific for each center and a good administration program is needed for each pediatric cardiac surgery center for the preoperative management of patients undergoing congenital heart surgeries. results a total of 300 patients, 56.7% male, were enrolled in this study. their mean age was 32 ± 40 months .the median durati...

y Abstract In the context of TCP, several researchers have proposed heuristics to detect or predict congestion in the network. In this paper, the term congestion predictors refers to such heuristics. Past proposals require TCP sender to reduce its window size when congestion is detected or predicted (otherwise, the heuristic may dictate that the sender window be held constant or increased). The...

In large open pit mines prediction of Peak Particle Velocity (PPV) provides useful information for safe blasting. At Sungun Copper Mine (SCM), some unstable rock slopes facing to valuable industrial facilities are both expose to high intensity daily blasting vibrations, threatening their safty. So, controlling PPV by developing accurate predictors is essential. Hence, this study proposes improv...

Background: Physicians’ and nurses’ experience of the COVID-19 pandemic and its physical and psychological consequences can be associated with changes in biological and hormonal levels, experienced as fatigue, restlessness, disruptions in one's mood, and sleep quality. This study examined the role of depression and death anxiety in contracting COVID-19 among healthcare staff. Methods: The stat...
