Computational models for clinical drug response prediction: aligning transcriptomic data of patients and pre-clinical models

Extensive efforts in cancer research over the past decades have markedly improved diagnosis and treatments, leading to better outcomes for cancer patients. Paradoxically, however, these discoveries have begun to shed light on a level of complexity that rules out the emergence of a universal cancer treatment. As any tumor is now known to be...

Distributed Radar Information Fusion for Gait Recognition and Fall Detection

This paper discusses a fusion framework with data from multiple, distributed radar sensors based on conventional classifiers, and transfer learning with pre-trained deep networks. The application considered is the classification of gait styles and the detection of critical accidents such as falls. The data were collected from a network comprised...

Tabular Reinforcement Learning Aided by Generalisation Methods

Reinforcement learning is a machine learning paradigm that deals with optimisation and learns by interacting with its environment. Tabular reinforcement learning methods are popular because of their relative simplicity combined with good guarantees of finding an optimal solution. The downside is that they suffer from an exponentially growing...
