An ensemble-based system for automatic screening of diabetic retinopathy [PDF]

Knowledge-Based Systems, Elsevier, Volume 60, April 2014, Pages 20-27, 2014
In this paper, an ensemble-based method for the screening of diabetic retinopathy (DR) is proposed. This approach is based on features extracted from the output of several retinal image processing algorithms, such as image-level (quality assessment, pre-screening, AM/FM), lesion-specific (microaneurysms, exudates) and anatomical (macula, optic disc ...

On Critical Relative Distance of DNA Codes for Additive Stem Similarity [PDF]

, 2010
We consider DNA codes based on the nearest-neighbor (stem) similarity model which adequately reflects the "hybridization potential" of two DNA sequences. Our aim is to present a survey of bounds on the rate of DNA codes with respect to a thermodynamically motivated similarity measure called an additive stem similarity.
