An Information theoretic representation of brain connectivity for cognitive state classification using functional magnetic resonance imaging
Önal, Itır; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In this study, a new method for analyzing and representing the discriminative information, distributed in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. For this purpose, a local mesh with varying size is formed around each voxel, called the seed voxel. The relationships among each seed voxel and its neighbors are estimated using a linear regression equation by minimizing the expectation of the squared error. This squared error coming from linear regression is used to calculate various info...
A multi-layered graphical model of the relation among SNPS, GENES, and pathways based on subgraph search
Ersoy, Gökhan; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Can, Tolga; Department of Bioinformatics (2015)
The analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) presents great potential for describing disease loci and gaining insight into the underlying etiology of diseases. Recently described combined p-value approach allows identification of associations at gene and pathway level. The integrated programs like METU-SNP produce simple lists of either SNP id/gene id/pathway title and their p-values and significance status or SNP id/disease id/pathway information. In...
A Semantically Enriched Clinical Guideline Model Enabling Deployment in Heterogeneous Healthcare Environments
Laleci, Gokce B.; Doğaç, Asuman (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01)
Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on patient's medical problems, and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows, and transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare information technology domain prevent wider deployment of clinical guidelines because each deployment requires a tedious custom adaptation phase. In this pap...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01)
This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
A medical image processing and analysis framework
Çevik, Alper; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Oğuz, Kader Karlı; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2011)
Medical image analysis is one of the most critical studies in field of medicine, since results gained by the analysis guide radiologists for diagnosis, treatment planning, and verification of administered treatment. Therefore, accuracy in analysis of medical images is at least as important as accuracy in data acquisition processes. Medical images require sequential application of several image post-processing techniques in order to be used for quantification and analysis of intended features. Main objective...
