A centralized approach for setting floating content parameters in VANETs
Floating Content (FC) has recently been proposed as an attractive application for mobile networks, such as VANETs, to operate opportunistic and distributed content sharing over a given geographic area, namely Anchor Zone (AZ). FC perfor-mances are tightly dependent on the AZ size, which in literature is classically chosen by the node that generates the floating message. In the present…

Using smart glasses in medical emergency situations, a qualitative pilot study
Medical emergency situations happening outside a hospital require a large range of competencies from safe transportation of a patient to his/her medical stabilization before the transport. Paramedics are trained to face such situations and can handle most of them very well. Some situations need precise skills and knowledge that are very common in a hospital setting but less in…

Optimizing investment decisions using DCF, decision tree analysis, and real options analysis: : the case of hotel expansions
Large scale infrastructure expansions in hotels are exposed to uncertainty. Since the costs involved in these expansion projects are high and often irreversible, hotels would benefit from analyses that incorporate uncertainty along with traditional valuation techniques like the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Decision tree analysis (DTA) and real options analysis (ROA) have been…

Using crowdsourcing for multi-label biomedical compound figure annotation
Abstract. Information analysis or retrieval for images in the biomedical literature needs to deal with a large amount of compound figures (figures containing several subfigures), as they constitute probably more than half of all images in repositories such as PubMed Central, which was the data set used for the task. The ImageCLEFmed benchmark proposed among other tasks in 2015 and 2016…

When employees walk the company talk: : the importance of employee involvement in corporate philanthropy
Although corporate philanthropy is often viewed as a vehicle for fostering employee commitment, research suggests that it does not always accomplish this goal. Drawing on theories on prosocial sensemaking and on social identity theory, I propose that involving employees in corporate philanthropy encourages more benevolent attributions for philanthropy, thereby promoting higher attitu…

VISCERAL: evaluation-as-a-service for medical imaging
Systematic evaluation has had a strong impact on many data analysis domains, for example, TREC and CLEF in information retrieval, ImageCLEF in image retrieval, and many challenges in conferences such as MICCAI for medical imaging and ICPR for pattern recognition. With Kaggle, a platform for machine learning challenges has also had a significant success in crowdsourcing solutions.…

Text- and content-based medical image retrievals in the VISCERAL retrieval benchmark
Text- and content-based retrieval are the most widely used approaches for medical image retrieval. They capture the similarity between the images from different perspectives: text-based methods rely on manual textual annotations or captions associated with images; content-based approaches are based on the visual content of the images themselves such as colours and textures. Text-…

Retrieval of medical cases for diagnostic decisions: : VISCERAL retrieval benchmark
Health providers currently construct their differential diagnosis for a given medical case most often based on textbook knowledge and clinical experience. Data mining of the large amount of medical records generated daily in hospitals is only very rarely done, limiting the reusability of these cases. As part of the VISCERAL project, the Retrieval benchmark was organized to evaluate…

Combining radiology images and clinical metadata for multimodal medical case-based retrieval
As part of their daily workload, clinicians examine patient cases in the process of formulating a diagnosis. These large multimodal patient datasets stored in hospitals could help in retrieving relevant information for a differential diagnosis, but these are currently not fully exploited. The VISCERAL Retrieval Benchmark organized a medical case-based retrieval algorithm evaluation…

Development and evaluation of a case-based retrieval service
Identifying similar patients might greatly facilitate the treatment of a given patient, enabling to observe the response and outcome to a particular treatment. Case-based retrieval services dealing with natural language processing are of major importance to deal with the significant amount of unstructured clinical data. In this paper, we present the development and evaluation of a…
