The Effect of Transitive Closure on the Calibration of Logistic Regression for Entity Resolution by Yumeng Ye, John Talburt

“…This paper describes a series of experiments in using logistic regression machine learning as a method for entity resolution. From these experiments the authors concluded that when a supervised ML algorithm is trained to classify a pair of entity references as linked or not linked pair, the evaluation of the model’s performance should take into account the transitive closure of its pairwise linking decisions, not just the pairwise classifications alone. …”

Objective assessment of spectral ripple discrimination in cochlear implant listeners using cortical evoked responses to an oddball paradigm. by Alejandro Lopez Valdes, Myles Mc Laughlin, Laura Viani, Peter Walshe, Jaclyn Smith, Fan-Gang Zeng, Richard B Reilly

“…A correlation was found between the neural and the psychoacoustic discrimination thresholds (R2=0.60, p<0.01). This method can objectively assess CI spectral resolution performance, providing a potential tool for the evaluation and follow-up of CI listeners who have difficulty performing psychoacoustic tests, such as pediatric or new users.…”

Abnormal Electricity Consumption Behaviors Detection Based on Improved Deep Auto-Encoder by Nvgui LIN, Lanxiu HONG, Daoshan HUANG, Yang YI, Zhixuan LIU, Qifeng XU

“…Firstly, the data of normal electricity users are employed as training samples, and the effective features of the data are automatically extracted by AE; and then the data is reconstructed to calculate the detection threshold. Because the effective data characteristics are destroyed by the abnormal behaviors, the abnormal behaviors can be detected through comparing the difference between the reconstruction error and the detection threshold. …”
