We present specializing, a method for combining classifiers for multi-class classification. Specializing trains one specialist classifier per class and utilizes each specialist to distinguish that class from all others in a one-versus-all manner. It then supplements the specialist classifiers with a catch-all classifier that performs multi-class classification across all classes. We refer to the resulting combined classifier as a specializing classifier.

Machine Learning and Rule-based Approaches to Assertion Classification Uzuner, Oezlem; Zhang, Xiaoran; Sibanda, Tawanda (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-01-01) Objectives: The authors study two approaches to assertion classification. One of these approaches, Extended NegEx (ENegEx), extends the rule-based NegEx algorithm to cover alter-association assertions; the other, Statistical Assertion Classifier (StAC), presents a machine learning solution to assertion classification.
Verification of Modular Diagnosability With Local Specifications for Discrete-Event Systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-09-01) In this paper, we study the diagnosability verification for modular discrete-event systems (DESs), i.e., DESs that are composed of multiple components. We focus on a particular modular architecture, where each fault in the system must be uniquely identified by the modular component where it occurs and solely based on event observations of that component. Hence, all diagnostic computations for faults to be detected in this architecture can be performed locally on the respective modular component, and the obt...
Recognizing Obesity and Comorbidities in Sparse Data Uzuner, Oezlem (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-07-01) In order to survey, facilitate, and evaluate studies of medical language processing on clinical narratives, i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology to the Bedside) organized its second challenge and workshop. This challenge focused on automatically extracting information on obesity and fifteen of its most common comorbidities from patient discharge summaries. For each patient, obesity and any of the comorbidities could be Present, Absent, or Questionable (i.e., possible) in the patient, or Unmentioned in ...
Preliminary results of a novel enhancement method for high-frequency hearing loss Arioz, Umut; Arda, Kemal; Tuncel, Umit (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) In this study, a software program was developed for high-frequency hearing loss subjects that includes a detailed audiogram and novel enhancement methods. The software performs enhancements of the audibility of high-frequency sounds according to the subject's detailed 31-point audiogram. This provides subject-specific gains in the entire frequency spectrum, and especially for high frequencies, of sounds. Amplification, compression, and transposition are the three main processing methods used to obtain the d...
Constructions and bounds on linear error-block codes LİNG, San; Özbudak, Ferruh (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-12-01) We obtain new bounds on the parameters and we give new constructions of linear error-block codes. We obtain a Gilbert-Varshamov type construction. Using our bounds and constructions we obtain some infinite families of optimal linear error-block codes over F-2. We also study the asymptotic of linear error-block codes. We define the real valued function alpha (q,m,a) (delta), which is an analog of the important real valued function alpha (q) (delta) in the asymptotic theory of classical linear error-correctin...
