      Data breaches in healthcare continue to grow exponentially, calling for a rethinking into better approaches of security measures towards mitigating the menace. Traditional approaches including technological measures, have significantly contributed to mitigating data breaches but what is still lacking is the development of the “human firewall,” which is the conscious care security practices of the ...
    • Data-driven blood glucose pattern classification and anomalies detection: Machine-learning applications in Type 1 diabetes 

      Woldaregay, Ashenafi Zebene; Årsand, Eirik; Botsis, Taxiarchis; Albers, David; Mamykina, Lena; Hartvigsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-01)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that results in abnormal blood glucose (BG) regulations. The BG level is preferably maintained close to normality through self-management practices, which involves actively tracking BG levels and taking proper actions including adjusting diet and insulin medications. BG anomalies could be defined as any undesirable reading ...
    • Data-driven modeling and prediction of blood glucose dynamics: Machine learning applications in type 1 diabetes 

      Woldaregay, Ashenafi Zebene; Årsand, Eirik; Walderhaug, Ståle; Albers, David; Mamykina, Lena; Botsis, Taxiarchis; Hartvigsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-26)
      <i>Background</i>: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that causes abnormal blood glucose (BG) regulation that might result in short and long-term health complications and even death if not properly managed. Currently, there is no cure for diabetes. However, self-management of the disease, especially keeping BG in the recommended range, is central to the treatment. This includes actively ...
    • Data-intensive computing infrastructure systems for unmodified biological data analysis pipelines 

      Bongo, Lars Ailo; Pedersen, Edvard; Ernstsen, Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-18)
      Biological data analysis is typically implemented using a deep pipeline that combines a wide array of tools and databases. These pipelines must scale to very large datasets, and consequently require parallel and distributed computing. It is therefore important to choose a hardware platform and underlying data management and processing systems well suited for processing large datasets. There are many ...

      Lamproudis, Anastasios; Mora, Sara; Olsen Svenning, Therese; Torsvik, Torbjørn; Chomutare, Taridzo Fred; Ngo, Phuong Dinh; Dalianis, Hercules (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)
      The lack of relevant annotated datasets represents one key limitation in the application of Natural Language Processing techniques in a broad number of tasks, among them Protected Health Information (PHI) identification in Norwegian clinical text. In this work, the possibility of exploiting resources from Swedish, a very closely related language, to Norwegian is explored. The Swedish dataset is ...
    • A Declarative Profile Model for Qos negotiation 

      Hanssen, Øyvind (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2005-12)
      In this report we define the semantics of a language for dynamic QoS expressions which can be evaluated at run-time for conformance. We define how expressions can be constructed from atomic expressions termed ’basic profiles’ using composition operators. Two such operators are defined: The sum ( ’+’ ) which corresponds to simple conjunction and component-sum (’Å’) which assume that the operands ...
    • A Deep Diagnostic Framework Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Clustering 

      Thunold, Håvard Horgen; Riegler, Michael; Yazidi, Anis; Hammer, Hugo Lewi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-09)
      An important part of diagnostics is to gain insight into properties that characterize a disease. Machine learning has been used for this purpose, for instance, to identify biomarkers in genomics. However, when patient data are presented as images, identifying properties that characterize a disease becomes far more challenging. A common strategy involves extracting features from the images and ...

      Eide, Siri Sofie; Riegler, Michael; Hammer, Hugo Lewi; Bremnes, John Bjørnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-06)
      Many data related problems involve handling multiple data streams of different types at the same time. These problems are both complex and challenging, and researchers often end up using only one modality or combining them via a late fusion based approach. To tackle this challenge, we develop and investigate the usefulness of a novel deep learning method called tower networks. This method is able ...

    • DeltaTree: A Locality-aware Concurrent Search Tree 

      Umar, Ibrahim; Anshus, Otto; Ha, Hoai Phuong (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-15)
      Like other fundamental abstractions for high-performance computing, search trees need to support both high concurrency and data locality. However, existing locality-aware search trees based on the van Emde Boas layout (vEB-based trees), poorly support concurrent (update) operations. We present DeltaTree, a practical locality-aware concurrent search tree that integrates both locality-optimization ...
    • DeltaTree: A Practical Locality-aware Concurrent Search Tree 

      Umar, Ibrahim; Anshus, Otto; Ha, Hoai Phuong (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)
      As other fundamental programming abstractions in energy-e cient computing, search trees are expected to support both high parallelism and data locality. However, existing highly-concurrent search trees such as red-black trees and AVL trees do not consider data locality while existing locality-aware search trees such as those based on the van Emde Boas layout (vEB-based trees), poorly support ...
