Enrichment of Qualitative Beliefs for Reasoning under Uncertainty [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 This paper deals with enriched qualitative belief functions for reasoning under uncertainty and for combining information expressed in natural language through linguistic labels. In this work, two possible enrichments (quantitative and/or qualitative) of linguistic labels are considered and operators (addition, multiplication, division, etc) for ...

Semi‐automated hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy planning
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Hippocampal avoidance whole‐brain radiotherapy (HA‐WBRT) is designed to spare cognitive function by reducing radiation dose to the hippocampus during the treatment of brain metastases. Current manual planning methods can be time‐consuming and may vary in quality, necessitating the development of automated approaches to streamline ...

Incremental Tradeoff Resolution in Qualitative Probabilistic Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Qualitative probabilistic reasoning in a Bayesian network often reveals tradeoffs: relationships that are ambiguous due to competing qualitative influences. We present two techniques that combine qualitative and numeric probabilistic reasoning to resolve such tradeoffs, inferring the qualitative relationship between nodes in a Bayesian network.

Case Adaptation with Qualitative Algebras [PDF]
, 2013 This paper proposes an approach for the adaptation of spatial or temporal cases in a case-based reasoning system. Qualitative algebras are used as spatial and temporal knowledge representation languages.

Comprehensive clinical evaluation of novel 4DCT‐based lung function imaging methods
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Methods have been developed that apply image processing to 4DCTs to generate 4DCT‐ventilation/perfusion lung imaging. Traditional methods for 4DCT‐ventilation rely on Hounsfield‐Unit (HU) density‐change methods and suffer from poor numerical robustness while not providing 4DCT‐perfusion data.

Using deep learning generated CBCT contours for online dose assessment of prostate SABR treatments
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.Abstract Prostate Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is an ultra‐hypofractionated treatment where small setup errors can lead to higher doses to organs at risk (OARs). Although bowel and bladder preparation protocols reduce inter‐fraction variability, inconsistent patient adherence still results in OAR variability.

Complex Qualitative Models in Biology: a new approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 We advocate the use of qualitative models in the analysis of large biological systems. We show how qualitative models are linked to theoretical differential models and practical graphical models of biological networks. A new technique for analyzing qualitative models is introduced, which is based on an efficient representation of qualitative systems ...
