    • A Probabilistic Bag-to-Class Approach to Multiple-Instance Learning 

      Møllersen, Kajsa; Hardeberg, Jon Yngve; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-26)
      Multi-instance (MI) learning is a branch of machine learning, where each object (bag) consists of multiple feature vectors (instances)—for example, an image consisting of multiple patches and their corresponding feature vectors. In MI classification, each bag in the training set has a class label, but the instances are unlabeled. The instances are most commonly regarded as a set of points in a ...

    • Probability revision in general practice: the cases of occult blood in stool in patients with indigestion, and daily smoking in patients who cough 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1990)
      Prior calculation of the sex- and age-distributed positive predictive value (PPV) of a symptom in relation to a disease forms the basis for probability revision based on new information about signals observed during the medical encounter: a symptom, a sign, a piece of information based on the medical history, a laboratory test. Probability revision requires estimates of sensitivity and specificity ...
