    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Observational data; Sequential decision-making; Reinforcement learning; Off-policy evaluation; Rheumatoid arthritis;

    Abstract : Sequential-decision making is a critical component of many complex systems, such as finance, healthcare, and robotics. The long-term goal of a sequential decision-making process is to optimize the policy under which decisions are made. READ MORE

  7. 5. Turbulence Descriptors in Arterial Flows : Patient-Specific Computational Hemodynamics

    Author : Magnus Andersson; Matts Karlsson; Jonas Lantz; Tino Ebbers; Kristian Valen-Sendstad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : At this very moment, there are literally millions of people who suffer from various types of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), many of whom will experience reduced quality of life or premature lift expectancy. The detailed underlying pathogenic processes behind many of these disorders are not well understood, but were abnormal dynamics of the blood flow (hemodynamics) are believed to play an important role, especially atypical flow-mediated frictional forces on the intraluminal wall (i.
