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...

Pick my desk and go: a solution to improve team dynamics
In this article, we describe the preliminary results of an ongoing project to improve the dynamics of innovative teams. We investigate how to design a system that allows employees in an open space to swap the place with a colleague for one day. We call this system “Pick my desk and go” and we combine notions from people analytics and organizational design to illustrate how the system...

TripleWave: : spreading RDF streams on the web
Processing data streams is increasingly gaining momentum, given the need to process these flows of information in real-time and at Web scale. In this context, RDF Stream Processing (RSP) and Stream Reasoning (SR) have emerged as solutions to combine semantic technologies with stream and event processing techniques. Research in these areas has proposed an ecosystem of solutions to...

Are there productivity spillovers from southern MNCs in the Swiss service/construction industry ?
Although developing and emerging market firms (southern MNCs) are increasingly engaged in outward FDI in European advanced economies, we have an incomplete and inconsistent understanding of whether, and under what conditions, this investment may benefit the local economy. Our paper addresses this issue by examining whether local firms may benefit from the entry and the presence of...
