Semi-automatic semantic tagging of 3D images from pancreas cells
Little S., Salvetti O., Perner P.
Detailed, consistent semantic annotation of large collections of multimedia data is difficult and time-consuming. In domains such as eScience, digital curation and industrial monitoring, fine-grained high-quality labeling of regions enables advanced semantic querying, analysis and aggregation and supports collaborative research. Manual annotation is inefficient and too subjective to be a viable solution. Automatic solutions are often highly domain or application specific, require large volumes of annotated training corpi and, if using a 'black box' approach, add little to the overall scientific knowledge. This article evaluates the use of simple artificial neural networks to semantically annotate micrographs and discusses the generic process chain necessary for semi-automatic semantic annotation of images.Source: MDA 2006/2007, edited by Petra Perner and Ovidio Salvetti, pp. 69–79, 2007

Preface - Advances in mass data analysis of signals and images in medicine, biotechnology and chemistry
Perner P., Salvetti O.
The automatic analysis of images and signals in medicine, biotechnology, and chemistry is a challenging and demanding field. Signal-producing procedures by microscopes, spectrometers, and other sensors have found their way into wide fields of medicine, biotechnology, economy, and environmental analysis. With this arises the problem of the automatic mass analysis of signal information. Signal-interpreting systems which generate automatically the desired target statements from the signals are therefore of compelling necessity. The continuation of mass analyses on the basis of classical procedures leads to investments of proportions that are not feasible. New procedures and system architectures are therefore required. The scope of the International Conference on Mass Data Analysis of Images and Signals in Medicine, Biotechnology and Chemistry MDA (www.mda-signals.de) is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry people who are dealing with mass analysis of images and signals to present and discuss recent research in these fields.

Evaluation of feature subset selection, feature weighting, and prototype selection for biomedical applications
Little S., Salvetti O., Perner P.
Many medical diagnosis applications are characterized by datasets that contain under-represented classes due to the fact that the disease appears more rarely than the normal case. In such a situation classifiers that generalize over the data such as decision trees and Naïve Bayesian are not the proper choice as classification methods. Case-based classifiers that can work on the samples seen so far are more appropriate for such a task. We propose to calculate the contingency table and class specific evaluation measures despite the overall accuracy for evaluation purposes of classifiers for these specific data characteristics. We evaluate the different options of our case-based classifier and compare the performance to decision trees and Naïve Bayesian. Finally, we give an outlook for further work.Source: ECCBR 2008 - Advances in Case-Based Reasoning, 9th European Conference, pp. 312–324, Trier, Germany, 1-4 September 2008

Advances in Mass Data Analysis of Images and Signals in Medicine, Biotechnology, Chemistry and Food Industry
Perner P., Salvetti O.
The automatic analysis of signals and images together with the characterization and elaboration of their representation features is still a challenging activity in many relevant scientific and hi-tech fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and chemistry. Multidimensional and multisource signal processing can generate a number of information patterns which can be useful to increase the knowledge of several domains for solving complex problems. Furthermore, advanced signal and image manipulation allows relating specific application problems into pattern recognition problems, often implying also the development of KDD and other computational intelligence procedures. Nevertheless, the amount of data produced by sensors and equipments used in biomedicine, biotechnology and chemistry is usually quite huge and structured, thus strongly pushing the need of investigating advanced models and efficient computational algorithms for automating mass analysis procedures. Accordingly, signal and image understanding approaches able to generate automatically expected outputs become more and more essential, including novel conceptual approaches and system architectures. The purpose of this third edition of the International Conference on Mass Data Analysis of Signals and Images in Medicine, Biotechnology, Chemistry and Food Industry (MDA 2008; www.mda-signals.de) was to present the broad and growing scientific evidence linking mass data analysis with challenging problems in medicine, biotechnology and chemistry. Scientific and engineering experts convened at the workshop to present the current understanding of image and signal processing and interpretation methods useful for facing various medical and biological problems and exploring the applicability and effectiveness of advanced techniques as solutions. The primary goal of the conference was to disseminate this knowledge to a multidisciplinary community and encourage cooperative proactive collaboration in all the interested fields. We were pleased to see that the idea of the conference was taken up by a growing number of researchers and that we could start to bundle the activities in this area. We appreciate the help and understanding of the editorial staff at Springer, and in particular Alfred Hofmann, who supported the publication of these proceedings in the LNAI series. Last, but not least, we wish to thank all the speakers and participants who contributed to the success of the conference. The next International Conferences on Mass Data Analysis of Signals and Images (www.mda-signals.de) will be held in July 2009. We are looking forward to your submissions.

Human-Activity Analysis in Multimedia Data
Salvetti O., Cetin E. A., Pauwels E.
Many important applications in multimedia revolve around the detection of humans and the interpretation of their behavior. These include surveillance and intrusion detection, video conferencing applications, assisted living applications, and automatic analysis of sports videos, broadcasts, and movies, to name just a few. Success in these tasks often requires the integration of various sensor or data modalities such as video, audio, motion, and accompanying text, and typically hinges on a host of machine-learning methodologies to handle the inherent variability and complexity of the ensuing features. The computational efficiency of the resulting algorithms is critical since the amount of data to be processed in multimedia applications is typically large, and in real-time systems, speed is of the essence. There have been several recent special issues dealing with the dection of humans and the analysis of their activity relying solely on video footage. In this special issue, we have tried to provide a platform to contributions that make use of a broader spectrum of multimedia information, complementing video with audio or text information as well as other types of sensor signals, whenever available. The first group of papers in the special issue addresses the joint use of audio and video data. The paperDOI: 10.1155/2008/293453

HEARTFAID: a knowledge based platform for supporting the clinical management of elderly patients with heart failure
Conforti D., Costanzo D., Lagani V., Perticone F., Parati G., Kawecka-Jaszcz K., Marsh A., Biniaris C., Stratakis M., Fontanelli R., Guerri D., Salvetti O., Tsiknakis M., Chiarugi F., Gamberger D., Valentini M.
Chronic heart failure is a major health problem in many developed countries with strong social and economic effects due to its prevalence and morbidity. These effects occur particularly in the elderly who have frequent hospital admissions and utilise significant medical resources. Studies and data have demonstrated that evidence-based heart failure management programs utilising appropriate integration of inpatient and outpatient clinical services, have the potential to prevent and reduce hospital admissions, improve clinical status and reduce healthcare costs. HEARTFAID is a research and development project aimed at creating and validating an innovative knowledge-based platform to improve the early diagnosis and effective management of heart failure. The core of the platform is formalisation of pre-existing clinical knowledge and the discovery of new elicited knowledge. HEARTFAID has been designed to improve the processes of diagnosis, prognosis and therapy by providing the following services:• Electronic health records for easy and ubiquitous access to heterogeneous patient data• Integrated services for healthcare professionals, including patient telemonitoring, signal and image processing, alert and alarm systems• Clinical decision support, based on pattern recognition in historical data, knowledge discovery analysis and inference from patients' clinical data.Source: The journal on information technology in healthcare 4 (2006): 283–300.

A new measure on intuitionistic fuzzy set using Hausdorff metric and its application to edge detection
Tamalika C., Swades D., Salvetti O.
Intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) proposed by Attanassov has gained much importance to the researchers for its application in various fields such as pattern recognition. It takes into account the membership, non-membership function also another term hesitation degree. Hesitation degree is the lack of knowledge in assigning the membership function. In particular, the similarity measure between IFSs has increased its interest and several algorithms have been developed. In this paper a new method for measuring the distance between two intuitionistic fuzzy sets based on Hausdorff metric is proposed. The distance measure is the intuitionistic fuzzy divergence using Hausdorff metric. Our proposed method has been applied in image processing in detecting the edges of different kinds of practical images, demonstrating to be a tool for processing monochrome images.Source: International journal of fuzzy mathematics and systems 15 (2007): 1–16.
