Addressing the Challenges of Applying Machine Learning for Predicting Mental Disorders and Their Prognosis Using Two Case Studies
DownloadSpring 2019
Ghoreishiamiri, Seyedehreyhaneh
One of the principal applications of machine learning in psychiatry is to build automated tools that can help clinicians predict the diagnosis and prognosis of mental disorders using available data from patients’ profiles. Here, in two different studies, we investigate ways to use machine learn-...

Behavioural and Neuroimaging Investigation of Two Stages of Metaphor Comprehension Using the Metaphor Interference Effect in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2016
Background Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are reported to have difficulty understanding figurative language, such as metaphors, but emerging evidence suggests that such problems are associated with structural language impairments and not an ASD diagnosis. However, even when...

Characterizing the pathophysiological mechanisms of early disease in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using multimodal neuroimaging
DownloadSpring 2024
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a, neurodegenerative disorder which is characterized by progressive impairment of the upper motor neurons in the brain and lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. The disease is ultimately fatal with death eventually resulting from aspiration...

Decision Support System for Crane Selection and Location Optimization on Construction Sites
DownloadFall 2013
Selecting the most appropriate cranes and identifying ideal crane locations on site can improve the productivity and safety of large-scale construction projects. A significant proportion of crane accidents have been caused by improper crane selection, lack of a proper crane support system, or a...
