On Temporal Regularity in Social Interactions: Predicting Mobile Phone Calls
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper we predict outgoing mobile phone calls using a machine learning approach. We analyze to which extent the activity of mobile phone users is predictable. The premise is that mobile phone users exhibit temporal regularity in their interactions with majority of their contacts. In the sociological context, most social interactions have fairly reliable temporal regularity. If we quantify the extension of this behavior to interactions on mobile phones we expect that caller-callee

... ion is not merely a result of randomness, rather it exhibits a temporal pattern. To this end, we tested our approach on an anonymized mobile phone usage dataset collected specifically for analyzing temporal patterns in mobile phone communication. The data consists of 783 users and more than 12,000 caller-callee pairs. The results show that users' historic calling patterns can predict future calls with reasonable accuracy.

Automated Fault Detection and Extraction under Gas Chimneys Using Hybrid Discontinuity Attributes
2021
Applied Sciences
3D-seismic data have increasingly shifted seismic interpretation work from a horizons-based to a volume-based focus over the past decade. The size of the identification and mapping work has therefore become difficult and requires faster and better tools. Faults, for instance, are one of the most significant features of subsurface geology interpreted from seismic data. Detailed fault interpretation is very important in reservoir characterization and modeling. The conventional manual fault

... is a time-consuming and inefficient process. It becomes more challenging and error-prone when dealing with poor quality seismic data under gas chimneys. Several seismic attributes are available for faults and discontinuity detection and are applied with varying degrees of success. We present a hybrid workflow that combines a semblance-based fault likelihood attribute with a conventional ant-tracking attribute. This innovative workflow generates optimized discontinuity volumes for fault detection and automatic extraction. The data optimization and conditioning processes are applied to suppress random and coherent noise first, and then a combination of seismic attributes is generated and co-rendered to enhance the discontinuities. The result is the volume with razor sharp discontinuities which are tracked and extracted automatically. Contrary to several available fault tracking techniques that use local seismic continuity like coherency attributes, our hybrid method is based on directed semblance, which incorporates aspects of Dave Hale's superior fault-oriented semblance algorithm. The methodology is applied on a complex faulted reservoir interval under gas chimneys in a Malaysian basin, yet the results were promising. Despite the poor data quality, the methodology led to detailed discontinuity information with several major and minor faults extracted automatically. This hybrid approach not only improved the fault tracking accuracy but also significantly reduced the fault interpretation time and associated uncertainty. It is equally helpful in detecting any seismic objects like fracture, chimneys, and stratigraphic features.
Neural Fields in Visual Computing and Beyond
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Recent advances in machine learning have created increasing interest in solving visual computing problems using a class of coordinate-based neural networks that parametrize physical properties of scenes or objects across space and time. These methods, which we call neural fields, have seen successful application in the synthesis of 3D shapes and image, animation of human bodies, 3D reconstruction, and pose estimation. However, due to rapid progress in a short time, many papers exist but a

... hensive review and formulation of the problem has not yet emerged. In this report, we address this limitation by providing context, mathematical grounding, and an extensive review of literature on neural fields. This report covers research along two dimensions. In Part I, we focus on techniques in neural fields by identifying common components of neural field methods, including different representations, architectures, forward mapping, and generalization methods. In Part II, we focus on applications of neural fields to different problems in visual computing, and beyond (e.g., robotics, audio). Our review shows the breadth of topics already covered in visual computing, both historically and in current incarnations, demonstrating the improved quality, flexibility, and capability brought by neural fields methods. Finally, we present a companion website that contributes a living version of this review that can be continually updated by the community.
Frequency of Extensively Drug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Pakistan
2020
Cureus
Gram-negative bacteria are frequently involved in nosocomial infections. These bacteria have a particular tendency to develop antibiotic resistance and may become extensively drug-resistant (XDR). This study aimed to detect the prevalence of XDR Gram-negative bacteria in a tertiary care hospital in Pakistan. Materials and methods Clinical samples were obtained from patients admitted to different inpatient wards and sent for microbial analysis and culture. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of

... lates was performed by the disk diffusion method to detect XDR strains. Results Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of a total of 673 clinical samples were studied. Of all bacterial isolates, 64% were extensively drug-resistant. Klebsiella pneumoniae had the highest percentage of XDR isolates (68.4%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (67.6%) and Escherichia coli (56.1%). Most XDR pathogens were isolated from the burn unit (87.7%), followed by the intensive care unit (69.2%) and surgical unit (68.9%). Conclusions The rate of extensive drug-resistance is alarmingly high, which calls for strict surveillance and control measures to prevent the development of further resistance. Proper sanitation and rational prescription of antibiotics should be ensured.
