Refining Al Methods for Medical Diagnostics Management

Abstract This paper extends the utility of support vector machines—a recent innovation in AI being adopted for cancer diagnostics—by analytically modelling the impact of imperfect class labelling of training data. It uses ROC computations to study the SVM’s ability to classify new examples correctly even in the presence of misclassified data in training examples. It Read More …

Justifying Six Sigma Projects in Manufacturing Management

Abstract This paper develops and illustrates a case in manufacturing management, using the instance of justifying quality improvement of ball bearings—a common precision product whose correct manufacture and assembly greatly affects their efficiency, utility and life. Mass-produced at high speed, bearings extend a fertile domain for benefiting from QA apparatus including Gage R&R, ISO standards, Read More …
