TL;DR: A new machine learning algorithm, the Multi-Layer Attribute Selection and Classification (MLASC), for the diagnosis of CAN progression based on HRV attributes, which incorporates the new automated attribute selection procedure, Double Wrapper Subset Evaluator with Particle Swarm Optimization (DWSE-PSO).
Abstract: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) poses an important clinical problem, which often remains undetected due difficulty of conducting the current tests and their lack of sensitivity. CAN has been associated with growth in the risk of unexpected death in cardiac patients with diabetes mellitus. Heart rate variability (HRV) attributes have been actively investigated, since they are important for diagnostics in diabetes, Parkinson's disease, cardiac and renal disease. Due to the adverse effects of CAN it is important to obtain a robust and highly accurate diagnostic tool for identification of early CAN, when treatment has the best outcome. Use of HRV attributes to enhance the effectiveness of diagnosis of CAN progression may provide such a tool. In the present paper we propose a new machine learning algorithm, the Multi-Layer Attribute Selection and Classification (MLASC), for the diagnosis of CAN progression based on HRV attributes. It incorporates our new automated attribute selection procedure, Double Wrapper Subset Evaluator with Particle Swarm Optimization (DWSE-PSO). We present the results of experiments, which compare MLASC with other simpler versions and counterpart methods. The experiments used our large and well-known diabetes complications database. The results of experiments demonstrate that MLASC has significantly outperformed other simpler techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, the minimum spans of Cayley graphs have been studied and connections between the structure of a semigroup and the minimum span of distance labels of the Cayley graph have been established.
Abstract: This paper establishes connections between the structure of a semigroup and the minimum spans of distance labellings of its Cayley graphs. We show that certain general restrictions on the minimum spans are equivalent to the semigroup being combinatorial, and that other restrictions are equivalent to the semigroup being a right zero band. We obtain a description of the structure of all semigroups S and their subsets C such that \(\,{\mathrm {Cay}}(S,C)\) is a disjoint union of complete graphs, and show that this description is also equivalent to several restrictions on the minimum span of \(\,{\mathrm {Cay}}(S,C)\). We then describe all graphs with minimum spans satisfying the same restrictions, and give examples to show that a fairly straightforward upper bound for the minimum spans of the underlying undirected graphs of Cayley graphs turns out to be sharp even for the class of combinatorial semigroups.

Abstract: This paper establishes connections between the structure of a semigroup and the minimum spans of distance labellings of its Cayley graphs. We show that certain general restrictions on the minimum spans are equivalent to the semigroup being combinatorial, and that other restrictions are equivalent to the semigroup being a right zero band. We obtain a description of the structure of all semigroups $S$ and their subsets $C$ such that $\Cay(S,C)$ is a disjoint union of complete graphs, and show that this description is also equivalent to several restrictions on the minimum span of $\Cay(S,C)$. We then describe all graphs with minimum spans satisfying the same restrictions, and give examples to show that a fairly straightforward upper bound for the minimum spans of the underlying undirected graphs of Cayley graphs turns out to be sharp even for the class of combinatorial semigroups.

TL;DR: It is proved that, for every balanced digraph, in every incidence semiring over a semifield, each centroid set J of the largest distance also has the largest weight, and the distance of J is equal to its weight.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to prove that, for every balanced digraph, in every incidence semiring over a semifield, each centroid set J of the largest distance also has the largest weight, and the distance of J is equal to its weight. This result is surprising and unexpected, because examples show that distances of arbitrary centroid sets in incidence semirings may be strictly less than their weights. The investigation of the distances of centroid sets in incidence semirings of digraphs has been motivated by the information security applications of centroid sets.

TL;DR: The main theorem establishes that, for every balanced digraph and each idempotent semiring with identity element, the incidence semiring of the digraph has a convenient visible ideal basis and shows that the elements of the basis can always be used to generate ideals with the largest possible weight.
Abstract: The present article continues the investigation of visible ideal bases in constructions defined using directed graphs. This notion is motivated by its applications for the design of classication systems. Our main theorem establishes that, for every balanced digraph and each idempotent semiring with identity element, the incidence semiring of the digraph has a convenient visible ideal basis. It also shows that the elements of the basis can always be used to generate ideals with the largest possible weight among the weights of all ideals in the incidence semiring.
