Analysing Wideband Absorbance Immittance in Normal and Ears with Otitis Media with Effusion Using Machine Learning
Wideband Absorbance Immittance (WAI) has been available for more than a decade, however its clinical use still faces the challenges of limited understanding and poor interpretation of WAI results. This study aimed to develop Machine Learning (ML) tools to identify the WAI absorbance characteristics across different frequency-pressure regions in the normal middle ear and ears with otitis media with effusion (OME) to enable diagnosis of middle ear conditions automatically. Data analysis including pre-processing of the WAI data, statistical analysis and classification model development, together with key regions extraction from the 2D frequency-pressure WAI images are conducted in this study. Our experimental results show that ML tools appear to hold great potential for the automated diagnosis of middle ear diseases from WAI data. The identified key regions in the WAI provide guidance to practitioners to better understand and interpret WAI data and offer the prospect of quick and accurate diagnostic decisions.

A Signal Subspace Rotation Method for Localization of Multiple Wideband Sound Sources
In this paper, the problem of extending narrowband multichannel sound source localization algorithms to the wideband case is addressed. The DOA estimation of narrowband algorithms is based on the estimate of inter-channe…
Sound Source LocalizationA Neural Prototype for a Virtual Chemical Spectrophotometer
A virtual chemical spectrophotometer for the simultaneous analysis of nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) was developed based on an artificial neural network (ANN). The developed ANN correlates the respective concentrations of C…
Relative Entropy Regularised TDLAS Tomography for Robust Temperature Imaging
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) tomography has been widely used for in situ combustion diagnostics, yielding images of both species concentration and temperature. The temperature image is generally ob…

We propose a multivariate log-normal distribution to jointly model received power, mean delay, and root mean square (rms) delay spread of wideband radio channels, referred to as the standardized temporal moments. The mod…
Diagnosis of sickle cell anemia using AutoML on UV-Vis absorbance spectroscopy data
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder that is widespread in many regions of the world. Early diagnosis through screening and preventive treatments are known to reduce mortality in the case of sickle cell disease (SCD)…
