ABSTRACT
As the fields of translational research and personalized medicine evolve, the need clinicians and scientists have to exchange experimental results is growing. As different terminologies are used to describe research results in different fields, a tool which could provide assistance in the automated integration of scientific and medical experimental results would be facilitated by semantic tagging using terminology sourced from a domain spanning thesaurus[5]. We present Visual Coder, a visualization tool for performing clinical coding of anatomic pathology structured reports (APSR) for the purpose of multidisciplinary knowledge exchange. The tool provides a visualization of a translational research terminology server and a graphical user interface which provides a set of visual tools to facilitate clinical coding.

A jointly optimized subband coder
The mainstream approach to subband coding has been to partition the input signal into subband signals and to code those signals separately with optimal or near-optimal quantizers and entropy coders. A more effective approach, however, is one where the ...
Low-complexity and low-memory entropy coder for image compression
A low-complexity and low-memory entropy coder (LLEC) is proposed for image compression. The two key elements in the LLEC are zerotree coding and Golomb-Rice (1966, 1991) codes. Zerotree coding exploits the zerotree structure of transformed coefficients ...
Semantic turkey goes SKOS managing knowledge organization systems
I-SEMANTICS '12: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Semantic SystemsIn this paper we describe a novel SKOS editor built on top of the web browser Mozilla Firefox.
