Abstract:
This research investigated the question of whether automatic or system-generated information classification methods can help humans better manage information. A series of four experiments were conducted; they investigated the usability (i.e., usefulness) of two automatic approaches to information classification, the concept space approach and a Kohonen-based SOM approach in the context of information retrieval. The concept space approach was evaluated in three different domains: Electronic Brainstorming (EBS) sessions, the Internet, and medical literature (the CancerLit collection). The Kohone

Abstract:
Learning representations of medical concepts from the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has been shown effective for predictive analytics in healthcare. The learned representations are expected to preserve the semantic meanings of different medical concepts, which can be treated as features and thus benefit a variety of applications. Medical ontologies have also been explored to be integrated with the EHR data to further enhance the accuracy of various prediction tasks in healthcare. Most of the existing works assume that medical concepts under the same ontological category should share similar

It studied the main methods of data transfer available at present, and as a result carried out an in depth review of one such method adopted by the National Health Service (NHS). Criticism of this method was made. These criticisms lead on to the development of an alternative method

Advances in medical imaging technologies, particularly magnetic resonance imaging and multi-detector Computed Tomography (CT), have resulted in substantial increase in the size of datasets. In order to reduce the cost of storage and diagnostic analysis and transmission time without significant reduction in image quality, a state of the art image compression technique is required. We propose here a context based and regions of interest (ROI) based approach for the compression of 3D CT images and in particular vascular images, where a high spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity is required

BACKGROUND: Health Information Technology (HIT) enhances patient safety, which can also help to reduce health care costs.

In this dissertation we study the feature selection and classification problems and apply our methods to real-world medical and biological data sets for disease diagnosis.
