Abstract: One problem faced in knowledge engineering for Bayesian networks (BNs) is the exponential growth of the number of parameters in their conditional probability tables (CPTs). The most common ...

It seems to me there is confusion about physician entrepreneurship, its definition and whether it represents a threat to professionalism. I'm not alone. Is a physician entrepreneur someone who starts ...

In reliability analysis and lifetime testing, the high costs and extensive time required to measure key characteristics demand efficient sampling methods. This challenge is particularly pronounced in ...

Abstract: For reliability assessments of power distribution systems it has been customary to represent the failure and repair processes of the components by exponential models. A problem with this ...

Kernel methods in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) have recently gained significant attention as a potential candidate for achieving a quantum advantage in data analysis. Among other attractive ...

This article is concerned with the set-membership state estimation problem for power distribution networks (PDNs) over a resource-constrained communication network under the influence of unknown but ...

While it would be desirable that the output of binary classification algorithms be the probability that the classification is correct, most algorithms do not provide a method to calculate such a ...

SINGAPORE - The exponential rise in national healthcare spending cannot be allowed to cripple Singapore's future, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung as he laid out the steps being taken to rein in costs ...

When editor-in-chief Moshe Vardi asked me to write this piece for Communications, my first reaction was the article could be written in two words: Nevertheless, the computer science landscape has ...

We present a method for estimating the distribution of fitness effects of new amino acid mutations when those mutations can be assumed to be slightly advantageous, slightly deleterious, or strongly ...
