A study of the Dirichlet Priors for term frequency normalisation [PDF]
, 2005 In Information Retrieval (IR), the Dirichlet Priors have been applied to the smoothing technique of the language modeling approach. In this paper, we apply the Dirichlet Priors to the term frequency normalisation of the classical BM25 probabilistic model

A comparison on effects of normalisations in the detection of differentially expressed genes
BMC Bioinformatics, 2009 Background Various normalisation techniques have been developed in the context of microarray analysis to try to correct expression measurements for experimental bias and random fluctuations.

Setting per-field normalisation hyper-parameters for the named-page finding search task [PDF]
, 2007 Per-field normalisation has been shown to be effective for Web search tasks, e.g. named-page finding. However, per-field normalisation also suffers from having hyper-parameters to tune on a per-field basis. In this paper, we argue that the purpose of per-

Image reconstruction for emission tomography using intensity normalised patch‐based regularisation
IET Image Processing, 2019 Recently, patch‐based regularisation methods have been a topic for tomographic reconstruction, since they are expected to preserve features within patches. However, conventional patch‐based methods tend to ignore important similarities when the two patches being compared have a large intensity difference, while they share similar features in a scaled ...

Mortality has improved in RA, but we must remain vigilant. Response to: ‘Early intensive treatment normalises excess mortality in ACPA-negative RA but not in ACPA-positive RA’ by Matthijssen et al [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2020 We compliment Matthijssen et al with this highly interesting analysis and results from the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic. Their mortality results strongly support our findings1 and again emphasise that the focus should be on the excess mortality that emerges after 10 years.

Normalisation of multicondition cDNA macroarray data
, 2007 Background. Normalisation is a critical step in obtaining meaningful information from the high-dimensional DNA array data. This is particularly important when complex biological hypotheses/questions, such a functional analysis and regulatory interactions
