description: We present a model of the early chemical composition and elemental abundances of planetary atmospheres based on the cumulative gaseous chemical species that are accreted onto planets forming by core accretion from evolving protoplanetary disks. The astrochemistry of the host disk is computed using an ionization driven, non-equilibrium chemistry network within viscously evolving disk models. We accrete gas giant planets whose orbital evolution is controlled by planet traps using the standard core accretion model and track the chemical composition of the material that is accreted onto the protoplanet. We choose a fiducial disk model and evolve planets in 3 traps - water ice line, dead zone and heat transition. For a disk with a lifetime of 4.1 Myr we produce two Hot Jupiters (M = 1.43, 2.67 M$_{\rm Jupiter}$, r = 0.15, 0.11 AU) in the heat transition and ice line trap and one failed core (M = 0.003 M$_{\rm Jupiter}$, r =3.7 AU) in the dead zone. These planets are found with mixing ratios for CO and H$_2$O of $1.99\times 10^{-4}$, $5.0\times 10^{-4}$ respectively for both Hot Jupiters. Additionally for these planets we find CO$_2$ and CH$_4$, with mixing ratios of $1.8\times 10^{-6}\rightarrow 9.8\times 10^{-10}$ and $1.1\times 10^{-8}\rightarrow 2.3\times 10^{-10}$ respectively. These ranges correspond well with the mixing ratio ranges that have been inferred through the detection of emission spectra from Hot Jupiters by multiple authors. We compute a carbon-to-oxygen ratio of 0.227 for the ice line planet and 0.279 for the heat transition planet. These planets accreted their gas inside the ice line, hence the sub-solar C/O.

description: We consider Hardy operators on the half-space, that is, ordinary and fractional Schrödinger operators with potentials given by the appropriate power of the distance to the boundary. We show that the scales of homogeneous Sobolev spaces generated by the Hardy operators and by the fractional Laplacian are comparable with each other when the coupling constant is not too large in a quantitative sense. Our results extend those in the whole Euclidean space and rely on recent heat kernel bounds.

description: Sensitivity-based Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU) is one of the widely accepted techniques used for damage identification in structures. FEMU can be formulated as a numerical optimization problem and solved iteratively making automatic updating of the uncertain model parameters by minimizing the difference between measured and analytical structural properties. However, in the presence of noise in the measurements, the updating results are usually prone to errors. This is mathematically described as instability of the damage identification as an inverse problem. One way to resolve this problem is by using regularization. In this paper we investigate regularization methods based on the minimization of the total variation of the uncertain model parameters and compare this solution with a rather frequently used regularization based on an interpolation technique. For well-localized damages the results show a clear advantage of the proposed solution in terms of the identified location and severity of damage compared with the interpolation based solution. For a practical test of the proposed method we use a reinforced concrete plate. Measurements and analysis were repeated first on an undamaged plate, and then after applying four different degrees of damage.

description: Lucian of Samosata, within his works, demonstrates in more than one instance some attention to the routes between the Roman empire and India, and the localities that had come to prominence in his day, starting with the port of Muziris, of which he conveys one of the earliest records and the only one in a non-technical text. In many other respects (ship-swallowing whales in primis), Lucian seems indebted to the coeval literature on Taprobane. Particularly within the True Histories, various hitherto neglected parodic references to the travel literature circulating in his day seem to emerge, which can be recovered only in skeletal form from mentions by Ptolemy, Pliny, and later accounts of Arab and Oriental origin. Just to mention a few instances, the island of the Onoskeleai, whether Kobalousa, Kabalousa, or Ekbalousa, seems to refer in its name to the Barousai/Balus/Langabalus islands inhabited by cannibals; the forest of trees floating in the sea seems to recall the “sea trees” mentioned by Pliny; the prodigious footprints of Heracles and Dionysus may allude to traditions on the Sri Pada, the sacred imprint of a deity on a mountain of Sri Lanka/Taprobane, already attested in antiquity and perhaps also featured by Ptolemy. While not denying the importance of parodic references to the “classics”, primarily the Odyssey, this line of inquiry sheds light on another aspect of Lucian’s parodic mixis.

description: Die nationale und internationale Absicherung des Cyber-Raums ist eine der obersten Prioritäten Österreichs. Mit der "Österreichischen Strategie für Cyber Sicherheit" wurde von der Bundesregierung am 20. März 2013 ein umfassendes und proaktives Konzept zum Schutz des Cyber-Raums und der Menschen im virtuellen Raum beschlossen. Die Strategie für Cyber-Sicherheit bildet das Fundament der gesamtstaatlichen Zusammenarbeit in diesem Bereich. Mit der Strategie für Cyber-Sicherheit wird auf nationaler Ebene eine operative Cyber-Koordinierungsstruktur festgelegt. Ziel ist es, einen regelmäßigen Informationsaustausch sicherzustellen, die Situation im Cyber-Raum laufend zu beobachten und zu bewerten sowie gemeinsame Maßnahmen festzulegen. Das vom Bundeskanzleramt betriebene staatliche Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) fungiert bereits jetzt als zentrale Anlaufstelle bei Cyber-Vorfällen. Mit den von Cert.at und Bundeskanzleramt eingerichteten Austrian Trust Circles werden die Sicherheitsexperten der verschiedenen Branchen vernetzt, um so im Anlassfall sofort die richtigen Kontakte verfügbar zu haben. Der Cyber-Raum eröffnet eine Vielzahl von Chancen und Möglichkeiten. Um die Vorteile, die unsere globalisierte Welt verspricht, nutzen zu können, muss die digitale Infrastruktur verlässlich und sicher funktionieren. Die Gewährleistung von Cyber-Sicherheit ist daher eine zentrale gemeinsame Herausforderung für Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Strategie für Cyber-Sicherheit beruht auf den Prinzipien Rechtstaatlichkeit, Subsidiarität, Selbstregulierung und Verhältnismäßigkeit. Ein offenes und freies Internet, der Schutz personenbezogener Daten, die Unversehrtheit von miteinander verbundenen Netzwerken sind Grundlage für globalen Wohlstand, Sicherheit und Förderung der Menschenrechte. Die Strategie wurde von den Verbindungspersonen zum Nationalen Sicherheitsrat und Cyber-Experten unter Federführung des Bundeskanzleramtes erarbeitet. Diese bilden gemeinsam die Cyber-Sicherheit-Steuerungsgruppe, die auch die Umsetzung der Strategie koordiniert und begleitet. Außerdem erstellt die Cyber-Sicherheit-Steuerungsgruppe einen jährlichen Bericht "Cyber Sicherheit in Österreich" und berät die Bundesregierung in Angelegenheiten der Cyber-Sicherheit.

Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Female sex workers (FSWs) decision to use or not to use condoms depends on several issues, including the decision to trust their client or not, a matter given little attention in previous research. This paper explores the role of trust in consistent condom use among FSWs. We used a cross-sectional survey among FSWs in Bali, Indonesia. The outcome variable for this study was condom use, and independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, social capital dimensions and HIV prevention practices. In total, 406 FSWs participated in the study. Of these, 48% of FSWs used condoms consistently with paying clients over the last month. The following FSWs were less likely to consistently use condoms with clients: FSWs who did not trust that their peer FSWs will use condoms (AOR = 9.3, 95% CI, 3.3–26.2), FSWs who did not feel valued by the people at their location (AOR = 3.9, 95% CI, 1.4–11.6), FSWs who did not graduate from primary or never went to school (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI, 1.03–5.6), and FSWs who have worked more than five years as FSWs (AOR = 5.8, 95% CI, 1.2–29.2). Our results highlight higher rates of inconsistent condom use related to lower trust and feelings of being valued between FSWs, identifying areas for policy and practice attention.

description: Mergers and accretion events are a key element of the baryon cycle, and have strong impacts on the distribution, kinematics and mixing of gas in galaxies. Major mergers are well studied in this regard, but gas-rich minor mergers and cold gas accretion are much less well constrained. A key probe of these external gas accretion events are kinematic misalignments between the stellar and the cold gas components. These misalignments are predicted to be short-lived (lifetimes ~100 Myr), apart from in the presence of continued external accretion. However, such relaxation timescales are unable to explain the distribution of misalignments observed in 30-40% of early-type galaxies (ETGs). In this talk, I am going to present the results obtained by using the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation EAGLE to investigate the stellar-gas misalignment relaxation timescales over a large, representative galaxy population (approx. 5,600 galaxies) from present day to z=1. We find good agreement with existing observational results from SAMI/MaNGA and mm-interferometers (such as ALMA), with 39±5% of ETGs showing significant misalignments at z=0. The misalignments coincide with mergers only ~16% of the time, with median relaxation timescales of ~300 Myr and only 6% of misalignments lasting longer than 1 Gyr. The use of EAGLE and future cosmological simulations allows us to constrain the physical processes extending the relaxation times, shedding light on the gas accretion processes that fuel star formation and AGN activity in massive galaxies.

description: Using an analytic, axisymmetric approach that includes general relativity, coupled to a condition for pair production deduced from simulations, we derive general results about the spatial distribution of pair-producing field lines over the pulsar polar cap. In particular, we show that pair production on magnetic field lines operates over only a fraction of the polar cap for an aligned rotator for general magnetic field configurations, assuming the magnetic field varies spatially on a scale that is larger than the size of the polar cap. We compare our result to force-free simulations of a pulsar with a dipole surface field and find excellent agreement. Our work has implications for first-principles simulations of pulsar magnetospheres, and for explaining observations of pulsed radio and high-energy emission.

Prevalence, trend and risk factors for antiretroviral therapy discontinuation among HIV-infected adults in Ethiopia in 2003-2015
Creators: name: Ward, Paul
Publisher: name: Torrens University Australia
Year: 2023
Subjects: Preventative health care

description: It is well acknowledged that antiretroviral therapy (ART) discontinuation hampers the progress towards achieving the UNAIDS treatment targets that aim to treat 90% of HIV diagnosed patients and achieve viral suppression for 90% of those on treatment. Nevertheless, the magnitude, trend and risk factors for ART discontinuation have not been explored extensively. We carried out a retrospective data analysis to assess prevalence, trend and risk factors for ART discontinuation among adults in Southwest Ethiopia. Methods 12 years retrospective cohort analysis was performed with 4900 HIV-infected adult patients between 21 June 2003 and 15 March 2015 registered at the ART clinic at Jimma University Teaching Hospital. ART discontinuation could be loss to follow-up, defaulting and/or stopping medication while remaining in care. Because data for 2003 and 2015 were incomplete, the 10 years data were used to describe trends for ART discontinuation using a line graph. We used binary logistic regression to identify factors that were correlated with ART discontinuation. To handle missing data, we applied multiple imputations assuming missing at random pattern. Results In total, 4900 adult patients enrolled on ART, of whom 1090 (22.3%) had discontinued, 954 (19.5%) had transferred out, 300 (6.1%) had died, 2517 (51.4%) were alive and on ART, and the remaining 39 (0.8%) had unknown outcome status. The trend of ART discontinuation showed an upward direction in the recent times and reached a peak, accounting for a magnitude of 10%, in 2004 and 2005. Being a female (AOR = 2.1, 95%CI: 1.7-2.8), having an immunological failure (AOR = 2.3, 1.9-8.2), having tuberculosis/HIV co-infection (AOR = 1.5, 1.1-2.1) and no previous history of HIV testing (AOR = 1.8, 1.4-2.9) were the risk factors for ART discontinuation. Conclusions One out of five adults had discontinued from ART, and the trend of ART discontinuation increased recently. Discontinued adults were more likely to be females, tuberculosis/HIV co-infected, with immunological failure and no history of HIV testing. Therefore, it is vital to implement effective programs such as community ART distribution and linkage-case-management to enhance ART linkage and retention.

description: Advances in 3D printing of biocompatible materials make patient-specific implants increasingly popular. The design of these implants is, however, still a tedious and largely manual process. Existing approaches to automate implant generation are mainly based on 3D U-Net architectures on downsampled or patch-wise data, which can result in a loss of detail or contextual information. Following the recent success of Diffusion Probabilistic Models, we propose a novel approach for implant generation based on a combination of 3D point cloud diffusion models and voxelization networks. Due to the stochastic sampling process in our diffusion model, we can propose an ensemble of different implants per defect, from which the physicians can choose the most suitable one. We evaluate our method on the SkullBreak and SkullFix datasets, generating high-quality implants and achieving competitive evaluation scores.

description: In order to take structural anisotropies of a given composite and different shapes of its unit cell into account, we generalize the Basic Scheme in Homogenization by Moulinec and Suquet to arbitrary sampling lattices and tilings of the d-dimensional Euclidean space. Employing a Fourier transform on arbitrary lattices, which generate sampling patterns in the unit cell of interest, we derive a generalization of this scheme. In several cases, this Fourier transform is of lower dimension than the space itself; for many lattices it even reduces to a one-dimensional Fourier transform having the same leading coefficient as the fastest Fourier transform implementation available. We illustrate the generalized Basic Scheme on an anisotropic laminate and a generalized ellipsoidal Hashin structure. For both we derive an analytical solution to the elasticity problem, in two- and three dimensions, respectively. We then illustrate the possibilities of choosing a pattern. Compared to classical grids this introduces both a reduction of computation time and a reduced error of the numerical method. It also allows for anisotropic subsampling, i.e. choosing a sub lattice of a pixel or voxel grid based on anisotropy information of the material at hand.

description: The ETI commissioned the HEMS & ICT Market project to undertake an in depth study and assessment of HEMS along with what data, processes and controls andpotential additional services enabled via a linked ICT system.The project delivers key insights and findings in terms of potential future offerings and capabilities of these products along with market assessment information.The aim of the project was to characterise the existing market for HEMS and ICT systems and to quantify the market/commercial opportunities for future HEMS and ICT propositions for both consumer and business.

The High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis (HFADA) project builds upon work undertaken in the Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) programme delivered by theEnergy Systems Catapult for the ETI, to refine intelligence and gain detailed smart home energy data.The project analysed in depth datafrom five homes that trialed the SSH programme’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to identify which appliances are present within a building and when they are in operation.The main goal of the HFADA project was to detect human behaviour patterns in order to forecast the home energy needs of people in the future. In particular the project delivered a detailed set of data mining algorithms to help identify patterns of building occupancy and energy use within domestic homes from water, gas and electricity data.

The ETI collected utility meter and other data (e.g. room temperatures, humidity, and HEMS control data) from five dwellings over a period of six months. Using the collected data, work was conducted to evaluate different machine learning algorithms, research appropriate data features and calibrations thereof, and test the “art of the possible”.Thework sought not only to understand historical human activity within the building, but also to estimate probabilities of future hot water usage, occupancy and heating needs.

This report was commissioned in order to share the key learnings from the ETI High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis work carried out jointly by Baringa Partners and ASI Data Science. At a high level, the work evaluates machine learning algorithms, researches potential data features and calibrations thereof, and tests the “art of the possible” when it comes to predicting future occupancy and hot water usage from multi-vector high frequency meter data. Crucially, the work conducted not only seeks to understand historical human activity within the residency, but also to predict future needs. This report serves the purpose of sharing the key insights of the work to date as well as sharing areas of potential future work.

description: Noisy annotations such as missing annotations and location shifts often exist in crowd counting datasets due to multi-scale head sizes, high occlusion, etc. These noisy annotations severely affect the model training, especially for density map-based methods. To alleviate the negative impact of noisy annotations, we propose a novel crowd counting model with one convolution head and one transformer head, in which these two heads can supervise each other in noisy areas, called Cross-Head Supervision. The resultant model, CHS-Net, can synergize different types of inductive biases for better counting. In addition, we develop a progressive cross-head supervision learning strategy to stabilize the training process and provide more reliable supervision. Extensive experimental results on ShanghaiTech and QNRF datasets demonstrate superior performance over state-of-the-art methods. Code is available at https://github.com/RaccoonDML/CHSNet.

Discontinuation from antiretroviral therapy: A continuing challenge among adults in HIV care in Ethiopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Creators: name: Ward, Paul

Year: 2023
Subjects: Social determinants of health

description: Discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces the i antiretroviral therapymmunological benefit of treatment and increases complications related to human immune-deficiency virus (HIV). However, the risk factors for ART discontinuation are poorly understood in developing countries particularly in Ethiopia. This review aimed to assess the best available evidence regarding risk factors for ART discontinuation in Ethiopia. Methods: Quantitative studies conducted in Ethiopia between 2002 and 2015 that evaluated factors associated with ART discontinuation were sought across six major databases. Only English language articles were included. This review considered studies that included the following outcome: ART treatment discontinuation, i.e. 'lost to follow up', 'defaulting' and 'stopping medication'. Meta-analysis was performed with Mantel Haenszel method using Revman-5 software. Summary statistics were expressed as pooled odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals at a p-value of <0.05. Results: Nine (9) studies met the criteria of the search. Five (5) were retrospective studies, 3 were case control studies, and 1 was a prospective cohort study. The total sample size in the included studies was 62,156. Being rural dweller (OR = 2.1, 95%CI: 1.5-2.7,I2 = 60%), being illiterate (OR = 1.5, 95%CI: 1.1-2.1), being not married (OR = 1.4, 95%CI: 1.1-1.8), being alcohol drinker (OR = 2.9, 95%CI: 1.9-4.4,I2 = 39%), being tobacco smoker (OR = 2.6, 95%CI: 1.6-4.3,I2 = 74%), having mental illness (OR = 2.7, 95%CI: 1.6-4.6,I2 = 0%) and being bed ridden functional status (OR = 2.3, 95%CI: 1.5-3.4,I2 = 37%) were risk factors for ART discontinuation. Whereas, having HIV positive partner (OR = 0.4, 95%CI: 0.3-0.6, I2 = 69%) and being co-infected with Tb/HIV (OR = 0.6, 95%CI: 0.4-0.9, I2 = 0%) were protective factors. Conclusion: Demographic, behavioral and clinical factors influenced ART treatment discontinuation. Hence, we recommend strengthening decentralization of HIV care services in remote areas, strengthening of ART task shifting, application of seek-test-treat-succeed model, and integration of smoking cession strategies and mental health care into the routine HIV care program.

description: Massive black-hole (BH) mergers are predicted to be powerful sources of low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Coupling the detection of GWs with an electromagnetic (EM) detection can provide key information about merging BHs and their environments. We study the high-resolution cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulation OBELISK, run to redshift $z=3.5$, to assess the GW and EM detectability of high-$z$ BH mergers, modelling spectral energy distribution and obscuration. For EM detectability, we further consider sub-grid dynamical delays in postprocessing. We find that most of the merger events can be detected by LISA, except for high-mass mergers with very unequal mass ratios. Intrinsic binary parameters are accurately measured, but the sky localisation is poor generally. Only $\sim 40\%$ of these high-$z$ sources have a sky localisation better than $10\,\mathrm{deg}^2$. Merging BHs are hard to detect in the restframe UV since they are fainter than the host galaxies, which at high $z$ are star-forming. A significant fraction, $15-35\%$, of BH mergers instead outshine the galaxy in X-rays, and about $5-15\%$ are sufficiently bright to be detected with sensitive X-ray instruments. If mergers induce an Eddington-limited brightening, up to $30\%$ of sources can become observable. The transient flux change originating from such a brightening is often large, allowing $4-20\%$ of mergers to be detected as EM counterparts. A fraction, $1-30\%$, of mergers are also detectable at radio frequencies. Observable merging BHs tend to have higher accretion rates and masses and are overmassive at a fixed galaxy mass with respect to the full population. Most EM-observable mergers can also be GW-detected with LISA, but their sky localisation is generally poorer. This has to be considered when using EM counterparts to obtain information about the properties of merging BHs and their environment.

Proximal Causal Inference without Uniqueness Assumptions

description: We consider identification and inference about a counterfactual outcome mean when there is unmeasured confounding using tools from proximal causal inference (Miao et al. [2018], Tchetgen Tchetgen et al. [2020]). Proximal causal inference requires existence of solutions to at least one of two integral equations. We motivate the existence of solutions to the integral equations from proximal causal inference by demonstrating that, assuming the existence of a solution to one of the integral equations, $\sqrt{n}$-estimability of a linear functional (such as its mean) of that solution requires the existence of a solution to the other integral equation. Solutions to the integral equations may not be unique, which complicates estimation and inference. We construct a consistent estimator for the solution set for one of the integral equations and then adapt the theory of extremum estimators to find from the estimated set a consistent estimator for a uniquely defined solution. A debiased estimator for the counterfactual mean is shown to be root-$n$ consistent, regular, and asymptotically semiparametrically locally efficient under additional regularity conditions.

description: Early presentation for HIV care is vital as an initial tread in the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets. However, late presentation for HIV care (LP) challenges achieving the targets. This study assessed the prevalence, trends, outcomes and risk factorsfor LP. Methods: A 12 year retrospective cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records extracted from an antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinic at Jimma University Teaching Hospital. LP for children refers to moderate or severe immune-suppression, or WHO clinical stage 3 or 4 at the time of first presentation to the ART clinics. LP for adults refers to CD4 lymphocyte count of < 200 cells/ μl and < 350 cells/μl irrespective of clinical staging, or WHO clinical stage 3 or 4 irrespective of CD4 count at the time of first presentation to the ART clinics. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors that were associated with LP, and missing data were handled using multiple imputations. Results: Three hundred ninety-nine children and 4900 adults were enrolled in ART care between 2003 and 15. The prevalence of LP was 57% in children and 66.7% in adults with an overall prevalence of 65.5%, and the 10-year analysis of LP showed upward trends. 57% of dead children, 32% of discontinued children, and 97% of children with immunological failure were late presenters for HIV care. Similarly, 65% of dead adults, 65% of discontinued adults, and 79% of adults with immunological failure presented late for the care. Age between 25- < 50 years (AOR = 0.4,95% CI:0.3-0.6) and 50+ years (AOR = 0.4,95% CI:0.2-0.6), being female (AOR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.03-1.5), having Tb/HIV co-infection (AOR = 1.6, 95% CI: 1.09-2.1), having no previous history of HIV testing (AOR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.1-1.4), and HIV care enrollment period in 2012 and after (AOR = 0.8, 95% CI: 0.7-0.9) were the factors associated with LP for Adults. For children, none of the factors were associated with LP. Conclusions: The prevalence of LP was high in both adults and children. The majority of both children and adults who presented late for HIV care had died and developed immunological failure. Effective programs should be designed and implemented to tackle the gap in timely HIV care engagement.

description: Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize and track sound sources. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also provides enhanced processing for other capabilities such as speech recognition. To give this capability to a robot, the challenge is not only to localize simultaneous sound sources, but to track them over time. In this paper we propose a robust sound source localization and tracking method using an array of eight microphones. The method is based on a frequency-domain implementation of a steered beamformer along with a particle filter-based tracking algorithm. Results show that a mobile robot can localize and track in real-time multiple moving sources of different types over a range of 7 meters. These new capabilities allow a mobile robot to interact using more natural means with people in real life settings.

description: The ETI commissioned the HEMS & ICT Market project to undertake an in depth study and assessment of HEMS along with what data, processes and controls andpotential additional services enabled via a linked ICT system.The project delivers key insights and findings in terms of potential future offerings and capabilities of these products along with market assessment information.The aim of the project was to characterise the existing market for HEMS and ICT systems and to quantify the market/commercial opportunities for future HEMS and ICT propositions for both consumer and business.

The High Frequency Appliance Disaggregation Analysis (HFADA) project builds upon work undertaken in the Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) programme delivered by theEnergy Systems Catapult for the ETI, to refine intelligence and gain detailed smart home energy data.The project analysed in depth datafrom five homes that trialed the SSH programme’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) to identify which appliances are present within a building and when they are in operation.The main goal of the HFADA project was to detect human behaviour patterns in order to forecast the home energy needs of people in the future. In particular the project delivered a detailed set of data mining algorithms to help identify patterns of building occupancy and energy use within domestic homes from water, gas and electricity data.

In this deliverable Bournemouth Uni presents an original approach for mining utility data usage patterns relying on a novel Deep Hierarchical Dynamic model which consists of three modules, a Deep Belief network (DBN), a hierarchical mixture model which is based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and a Dynamic Bayesian Network based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM), called DBN-LDA-HMM. This architecture aims at extracting topics from data while taking into account the temporal structure of the data to model the inter-topic sequential dependency. While the mathematical details of the proposed algorithm are described elsewhere, a full empirical evaluation of this pattern mining algorithm using the ETI data is discussed, highlighting its performance on various mining tasks.
