Benno Hansen's List: Hidden Markov Models

• vocalisation patterns have been found to be different for stress due to handling and stress due to overcrowding.

   

  The analysis was carried out by digitally recording laying chickens' vocalisations under different types of stressful conditions, and then, after removing background noise, analysing the recordings using a modified version of the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with voice recognition algorithms.
• HMM has achieved an overall condition classification accuracy of 74%.

• "Our analysis shows that most important historical figures across Wikipedia language editions are born in western countries after the 17th century, and are male,"
• PageRank says that a page is important if a lot of important pages link to it.
• The most important person in the world comes out as Carl Linnaeus, the 18th-century Swedish naturalist
• Since Linnaeus' life work was coming up with a system to classify organisms, and applying that system as widely as possible, he is linked to from a lot of pages, and important ones at that.
