WISECONDOR: Detection of fetal aberrations from shallow sequencing maternal plasma based on a within-sample comparison scheme

Genetic disorders can be detected by prenatal diagnosis using Chorionic Villus Sampling, but the 1:100 chance to result in miscarriage restricts the use to fetuses that are suspected to have an aberration. Detection of trisomy 21 cases noninvasively is now possible owing to the upswing of next-generation sequencing (NGS) because a small...

Feature Fusion for Efficient Content-Based Video Retrieval

Abstract—Content-based video retrieval is a complex task because of the large amount of information in single items and because databases of videos can be very large. In this paper we explore a possible solution for efficient similar item retrieval. In our experiments we combine relevant feature sets together with a learned Mahalanobis metric...

A Framework for Qualitative Multi-Criteria Preferences (extended abstract)

Argumentation-based qualitative preference modelling with incomplete and uncertain information

This paper presents an argumentation-based framework for the modelling of, and automated reasoning about multi-attribute preferences of a qualitative nature. The framework presents preferences according to the lexicographic ordering that is well-understood by humans. Preferences are derived in part from knowledge. Knowledge, however, may be...
