Functional-molecular imaging techniques promise powerful tools for the visualization and elucidation of important disease-causing physiologic-molecular processes in living tissue. Most applications aim to find temporal-spatial patterns associated with different disease stages. When multiple agents are used, imagery signals often represent a composite of more than one distinct source due to functional-molecular biomarker heterogeneity, independent of spatial resolution. We therefore introduce a hybrid decomposition algorithm, which allows for a computed simultaneous imaging of multiple biomarkers. The method is based on a combination of time-activity curve clustering, pixel subset selection, and independent component analysis. We demonstrate the principle of the approach on an image data set, and we then apply the method to the tumor vascular characterization using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and brain neuro-transporter imaging using dynamic positron emission tomography.

The European Space Agency Planck satellite will be launched in 2007. The goal of this mission is to perform a complete survey of the cosmic microwave background. The high frequency instrument (HFI) on-board Planck would perform all-sky mapping at sub-millimetre and millimetre wavelengths using bolometers cooled at very low temperatures. We have developed a new method able to predict precisely the thermal behaviour of the instrument in order to extract instrumental additive signals due to self-emission by the various cryogenic stages. This article presents a synthesis of the results obtained with neural methods for this modelling problem.

We present an algorithm that efficiently computes optimal partitions of sequential data into 1 to N segments and propose a method to determine the most salient segmentation among them. As a by-product, we obtain a regularization parameter that can be used to compute such salient segmentations - also on new data sets - even more efficiently.

The analysis of genome-scale data from different high throughput techniques usually involves the grouping of genes based on experimental criteria. These groups are a consequence of the biological roles the genes are playing within the cell. Establishing which of these groups are functionally important is essential. Gene ontology terms provide a specialised vocabulary to describe the relevant biological properties of genes. We used a simple procedure to extract terms that are significantly over or under-represented in sets of genes within the context of a genome-scale experiment. Said procedure, which takes the multiple-testing nature of the statistical contrast into account, has been implemented as a Web application, FatiGO, allowing for easy and interactive querying. Several examples demonstrate its application and the type of information that can be extracted. Although a number of genes still lack gene ontology annotations, the results were informative enough to characterise the biological processes in the systems analysed.

The design of structures and algorithms for non-MAP multiclass decision problems is discussed in this paper. We propose a parametric family of loss functions that provide the most accurate estimates for the posterior class probabilities near the decision regions. Moreover, we discuss learning algorithms based on the stochastic gradient minimization of these loss functions. We show that these algorithms behave like sample selectors: samples near the decision regions are the most relevant during learning. Experimental results on some real datasets are also provided to show the effectiveness of this approach versus the classical cross entropy (based on a global posterior probability estimation).

In this paper we address the problem of blind source separation (BSS) in frequency selective multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels, when the only available prior knowledge about the transmitted signals is their mutual statistical independence. The novelty of the paper is two-fold. Firstly, we analytically show that when orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is employed, the original BSS problem is transformed into a set of standard ICA problems with complex mixing matrices. Each ICA problem is associated with one of the orthogonal subcarriers. Secondly, we show that the statistical correlation between the different frequency bins (at each orthogonal subcarrier) can be exploited to avoid the frequency-bin dependent permutation and scaling problems, which are intrinsic to the ICA solution. Our approach is also tested on a realistic channel model.

Independent component analysis is a well-known tool for extracting underlying mechanisms from an observed set of parallel data. Identifying such components in breast cancer cell lines, for both copy number and gene expression, is proposed here with the goal of identifying mechanisms that affect the evolution of breast cancer in humans. This paper illustrates how to utilize independent component analysis on cell line data for achieving this goal. After the components were estimated for the well-studied chromosome 17, and then over the entire genome for a set of 14 different breast cancer cell lines, ontological analysis was performed in order to determine common gene functions that are present in each of the independent components.

While reading handwritten text accurately is a difficult task for computers, the conversion of handwritten papers into digital format is necessary for automatic processing. Since most bank checks are handwritten, the number of checks is very high, and manual processing involves significant expenses, many banks are interested in systems that can read check automatically. This work presents several approaches to improve the accuracy of neural networks used to read unconstrained numerals in the courtesy amount field of bank checks.

In this work several approaches to prediction of natural gas consumption with neural and fuzzy neural systems for a certain region of Poland are analyzed and tested. Prediction strategies tested in the paper include: single neural net module approach, combination of three neural modules, temperature clusterization based method, and application of fuzzy neural networks. The results indicate the superiority of temperature clusterization based method over modular and fuzzy neural approaches. One of the interesting issues observed in the paper is relatively good performance of the tested methods in the case of a long-term (four week) prediction compared to mid-term (one week) prediction. Generally, the results are significantly better than those obtained by statistical methods currently used in the gas company under consideration.
