Temporality is crucial in understanding the course of clinical events from a patient’s electronic health records and temporal processing is becoming more and more important for improving access to content. SemEval 2017 Task 12 (Clinical TempEval) addressed this challenge using the THYME corpus, a corpus of clinical narratives annotated with a schema based on TimeML2 guidelines. We developed and...

A major challenge in pattern recognition is labeling of large numbers of samples. This problem has been solved by extending supervised learning to semi-supervised learning. Thus semi-supervised learning has become one of the most important methods on the research of facial expression recognition. Frontal and un-occluded face images have been well recognized using traditional facial expression r...

In this paper, we propose a novel framework, called Semi-supervised Embedding in Attributed Networks with Outliers (SEANO), to learn a low-dimensional vector representation that systematically captures the topological proximity, attribute affinity and label similarity of vertices in a partially labeled attributed network (PLAN). Our method is designed to work in both transductive and inductive ...

Extreme cold events in natural gas demand are characterized by unusual dynamics that makes modeling the characteristics of the gas demand during extreme cold events a challenging task. This unusual dynamics is in the form of hysteresis, possibly due to human behavioral response to extreme weather conditions. To natural gas distribution utilities, extreme cold events represent high risk events g...

This paper explores the use of self-ensembling for visual domain adaptation problems. Our technique is derived from the mean teacher variant [20] of temporal ensembling [8], a technique that achieved state of the art results in the area of semi-supervised learning. We introduce a number of modifications to their approach for challenging domain adaptation scenarios and evaluate its effectiveness...
