Enhancing Confusion Entropy (CEN) for Binary and Multiclass Classification
(Universita Di Palermo, 2019-01-14)
Different performance measures are used to assess the behaviour, and to carry out the comparison, of classifiers in Machine Learning. Many measures have been defined on the literature, and among them, a measure inspired ...
State of the Art and Trends Review of Smart Metering in Electricity Grids
(MDPI, 2016-03)
Climate change, awareness of energy efficiency, new trends in electricity markets, the obsolescence of the actual electricity model, and the gradual conversion of consumers to prosumer profiles are the main agents of ...
Combining statistical techniques to predict postsurgical risk of 1-year mortality for patients with colon cancer
(Dove Medical Press, 2018)
Introduction: Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies and a common cause of cancer-related mortality. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a clinical predictive model for 1-year ...
Hyaluronic Acid Combined with Serum Rich in Growth Factors in Corneal Epithelial Defects
(MDPI, 2019-04-03)
The aim of this study is to assess if an adhesive biopolymer, sodium hyaluronate (NaHA), has synergistic effects with s-PRGF (a serum derived from plasma rich in growth factors and a blood derivative that has already shown ...
Optical Helicity and Optical Chirality in Free Space and in the Presence of Matter
(MDPI, 2019-09-03)
The inherently weak nature of chiral light-matter interactions can be enhanced by orders of magnitude utilizing artificially-engineered nanophotonic structures. These structures enable high spatial concentration of ...
