A Fast Learning Algorithm for Deep Belief Nets

We show how to use “complementary priors” to eliminate the explaining-away effects that make inference difficult in densely connected belief nets that have many hidden layers. U...

Normalized cuts and image segmentation

We propose a novel approach for solving the perceptual grouping problem in vision. Rather than focusing on local features and their consistencies in the image data, our approach...

Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 354 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YL...

Genomic characterisation and epidemiology of 2019 novel coronavirus: implications for virus origins and receptor binding

In late December, 2019, patients presenting with viral pneumonia due to an unidentified microbial agent were reported in Wuhan, China. A novel coronavirus was subsequently ident...

Comprehensive molecular portraits of human breast tumours

From molecules to solids with the DMol3 approach

Recent extensions of the DMol3 local orbital density functional method for band structure calculations of insulating and metallic solids are described. Furthermore the method fo...

Challenges for Rechargeable Li Batteries

The challenges for further development of Li rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles are reviewed. Most important is safety, which requires development of a nonflammable el...

Global epidemiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—Meta‐analytic assessment of prevalence, incidence, and outcomes

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a major cause of liver disease worldwide. We estimated the global prevalence, incidence, progression, and outcomes of NAFLD and nonal...

<scp>micro</scp>‐<scp>checker</scp>: software for identifying and correcting genotyping errors in microsatellite data

Abstract DNA degradation, low DNA concentrations and primer‐site mutations may result in the incorrect assignment of microsatellite genotypes, potentially biasing population gen...

Feature selection based on mutual information criteria of max-dependency, max-relevance, and min-redundancy

Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. We study how to select good features according to the maximal statistical dependency criterion base...

A modified particle swarm optimizer

Evolutionary computation techniques, genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies and genetic programming are motivated by the evolution of nature. A population of individuals, w...

Short screening scales to monitor population prevalences and trends in non-specific psychological distress

Background. A 10-question screening scale of psychological distress and a six-question short-form scale embedded within the 10-question scale were developed for the redesigned U...
