Dissimilarity-based representation for radiomics applications
Radiomics is a term which refers to the analysis of the large amount of
quantitative tumor features extracted from medical images to find useful
predictive, diagnostic or prognostic information. Many recent studies have
proved that radiomics can offer a lot of useful information that physicians
cannot extract from the medical images and can be associated with other
information like gene or protein data. However, most of the classification
studies in radiomics report the use of feature selection methods without
identifying the machine learning challenges behind radiomics. In this paper, we
first show that the radiomics problem should be viewed as an high dimensional,
low sample size, multi view learning problem, then we compare different
solutions proposed in multi view learning for classifying radiomics data. Our
experiments, conducted on several real world multi view datasets, show that the
intermediate integration methods work significantly better than filter and
embedded feature selection methods commonly used in radiomics.Comment: conference, 6 pages, 2 figure
Offline Handwritten Signature Verification - Literature Review
The area of Handwritten Signature Verification has been broadly researched in
the last decades, but remains an open research problem. The objective of
signature verification systems is to discriminate if a given signature is
genuine (produced by the claimed individual), or a forgery (produced by an
impostor). This has demonstrated to be a challenging task, in particular in the
offline (static) scenario, that uses images of scanned signatures, where the
dynamic information about the signing process is not available. Many
advancements have been proposed in the literature in the last 5-10 years, most
notably the application of Deep Learning methods to learn feature
representations from signature images. In this paper, we present how the
problem has been handled in the past few decades, analyze the recent
advancements in the field, and the potential directions for future research.Comment: Accepted to the International Conference on Image Processing Theory,
