20150117766 | CLASS DISCRIMINATIVE FEATURE TRANSFORMATION - A method for feature transformation of a data set includes: receiving a data set including original feature samples with corresponding class labels; splitting the data set into a direction optimization set and a training set; using the direction optimization set to calculate an optimum transformation vector that maximizes inter-class separability and minimizes intra-class variance of the feature samples with respect to corresponding class labels; using the optimum transformation vector to transform the rest of the original feature samples of the data set to new feature samples with enhanced discriminative characteristics; and training a classifier using the new feature samples, wherein the method is performed by one or more processors. | 04-30-2015 |
20160078771 | MULTI-VIEW LEARNING IN DETECTION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STATES - Systems and methods for using multi-view learning to leverage highly informative, high-cost, psychophysiological data collected in a laboratory setting, to improve post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) screening in the field, where only less-informative, low-cost, speech data are available. Partial least squares (PLS) methods can be used to learn a bilinear factor model, which projects speech and EEG responses onto latent spaces, where the covariance between the projections is maximized. The systems and methods use a speech representation based on a combination of audio and language descriptors extracted from spoken responses to open-ended questions. | 03-17-2016 |

20120039433 | VARIABLE-SPEED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY SCANNING - In one embodiment of the invention, a method for obtaining a tomogram of an anatomical structure is disclosed. In one step, an anatomical structure is scanned using a scanning source and a scanning detector. Both the scanning source and detector are connected to a gantry. In another step, the speed of the gantry is altered during the scanning process. Additionally or optionally the frame rate of the scan can be modified in such step. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the speed of the gantry is altered in synchronicity with the respiratory signal of a patient. Using such a method, a tomogram of an anatomical structure is obtained. | 02-16-2012 |
