  Lung cancer follow-up is a complex, error prone, and time consuming task for clinical radiologists. Several lung CT scan images taken at different time points of a given patient need to be individually inspected, looking ...
• Knowledge is out there: a new step in the evolution of music digital libraries

  Oramas, Sergio; Sordo, Mohamed (A-R Editions, 2016)

• Detection of disaster-affected cultural heritage sites from social media images using deep learning techniques

  Kumar, Pakhee; Ofli, Ferda; Imran, Muhammad; Castillo, Carlos (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2020)

  This article describes a method for early detection of disaster-related damage to cultural heritage. It is based on data from social media, a timely and large-scale data source that is nevertheless quite noisy. First, we ...
• Machine learning and music generation
