Deep neural networks are complex machine learning models that have shown promising results in analyzing high-dimensional data such as those collected from medical examinations. Such models have the potential to provide fast and accurate medical diagnoses. However, the high complexity makes deep neural networks and their predictions difficult to understand. Providing model explanations can be a way ...

The interest in video anomaly detection systems that can detect different types of anomalies, such as violent behaviours in surveillance videos, has gained traction in recent years. The current approaches employ deep learning to perform anomaly detection in videos, but this approach has multiple problems. For example, deep learning in general has issues with noise, concept drift, explainability, ...

Digital health contributes to health promotion by empowering the user with the holistic view of their health. Health promotion is to enable the user to take control over their health. The availability of wearables has contributed to the shift in healthcare, that is more connected, predictive, and proactive. Proactive in healthcare is to predict and prevent a situation, beforehand. This shift in ...

In this paper, a strategy to deal with high-dimensional reliability systems with multiple correlated components is proposed. The goal is to construct a state function that enables the classification of the states of components in one of two categories, that is, failure and operative, in case of dealing with a large number of units in the system. To this end, it is proposed a new algorithm that ...

Additive manufacturing technology and its benefits have a significant impact on different industrial applications. The 3D printing technologies help manufacture lightweight intricate geometrical designs with enhanced strengths. The present study investigates the blended effects of previously recommended parameters of different infill patterns (line, triangle, and concentric) and infill densities ...

Leading to the enhancement of smart grid implementation, the peer-to-peer (P2P) energy transaction concept has grown dramatically in recent years allowing the end-users to successfully exchange their excess generation and demand in a more profitable way. This paper presents local energy market (LEM) architecture with various market strategies for P2P energy trading among a set of end-users ...

The selection of an adequate response reduction factor (R) in the seismic design of a reinforced concrete building is critical to the building’s seismic response. To construct a robust structure, the R factor should be chosen based on the building’s resilience performance. Since no background was provided for the selection of R factors, the study focuses on the right selection of R factors in relation ...

This study investigated the potential of self-reported wellness data from a player monitoring system and its predictive power of individual match performance among a female professional football player cohort. Using longitudinal data collected from the Pm Reporter Pro mobile application and corresponding individual performance scores (InStat Index), the study investigated if pre-match perceived ...

New digital technologies like activity trackers, nudge concepts, and approaches can inspire and improve personal health. There is increasing interest in employing such devices to monitor people’s health and well-being. These devices can continually gather and examine health-related information from people and groups in their familiar surroundings. Context-aware nudges can assist people in self-managing ...

The arctic tundra is considered the terrestrial biome expected to be most impacted by climate change, with temperatures projected to increase as much as 10 °C by the turn of the century. The Climate-ecological Observatory for Arctic Tundra (COAT) project monitors the climate and ecosystems using several sensor types. We report on results from projects that automate image annotations from two of the ...
