Submodular relaxation for inference in Markov random fields

, 2015
In this paper we address the problem of finding the most probable state of a discrete Markov random field (MRF), also known as the MRF energy minimization problem. The task is known to be NP-hard in general and its practical importance motivates numerous

Comparative study of immunoassays, a microelectromechanical systems-based biosensor, and RT-QuIC for the diagnosis of chronic wasting disease in white-tailed deer

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy in cervids. The disease is caused by a pathogenic prion, namely PrPSc. Currently, diagnosis of CWD relies on IHC detection of PrPSc in the obex or retropharyngeal
