    Online gambling, unlike other mediums of addiction and problematic behaviour, such as tobacco and alcohol, offers unprecedented opportunities for monitoring and understanding an addict's behaviour in real-time and adapting ...

  • Content Based Image Retrieval Using Visual-Words Distribution Entropy 

    Chatzichristofis, Savvas A.; Iakovidou, Chrysanthi; Boutalis, Yiannis (Springer, 2011)
    Bag-of-visual-words (BOVW) is a representation of images which is built using a large set of local features. To date, the experimental results presented in the literature have shown that this approach achieves high retrieval ...

  • Content based MRSI image indexing and retrieval involving a fuzzy descriptor 

    Chatzichristofis, Savvas A.; Boutalis, Yiannis; Karras, D. A.; Mertzios, B. G. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), United States, 2010)
    Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) integrates both spectroscopic and imaging methods to produce spatially localized spectra from within the sample or patient. Although MRSI is a relatively new imaging technology ...

  • Content based radiology image retrieval using a fuzzy rule based scalable composite descriptor 

    Chatzichristofis, Savvas A.; Boutalis, Yiannis (Springer Nature, 2009)
    The rapid advances made in the field of radiology, the increased frequency in which oncological diseases appear, as well as the demand for prevailing medical checks, led to the creation of a large database of radiology ...

  • A Decentralized Voting Mechanism: Engaging ERC-20 token holders in decision-making

    This paper presents a Blockchain-based voting mechanism that has the potential to disrupt current voting systems and fuel the development of decentralized governance. More specifically, the paper presents a study on the ...

  • Deriving the Political Affinity of Twitter Users from Their Followers 

    Stamatelatos, Giorgos; Gyftopoulos, Sotirios; Drosatos, George; Efraimidis, Pavlos S. (IEEE, 2018)
    In this work, we show that Twitter users can reveal valuable political information about particular Nodes of Interest (NOIs) they opt to follow. More precisely, we utilize an interesting graph projection method and a series ...

  • Distributed Multi-Robot Coverage using Micro Aerial Vehicles 

    Renzaglia, A.; Doitsidis, L.; Chatzichristofis, Savvas A.; Martinelli, A.; Kosmatopoulos, E. B. (IEEE (Computer Society), 2013)
    In this paper we present a solution to the problem of positioning a team of Micro Aerial Vehicles for a surveillance task in an environment of arbitrary and unknown morphology. The problem is addressed taking into account ...
