Project Management Monitoring Based on Expected Duration Entropy.

Projects are rarely executed exactly as planned. Often, the actual duration of a project's activities differ from the planned duration, resulting in costs stemming from the inaccurate estimation of the activity's completion date. While monitoring a project at various inspection points is pricy, it can lead to a better estimation of the project completion time, hence saving costs.

Multiple hierarchical classification of free-text clinical guidelines.

Objective: Manual classification of free-text documents within a predefined hierarchy, commonly required in the medical domain, is highly time consuming task. We present an approach based on supervised learning to automate the classification of clinical guidelines into predefined hierarchical conceptual categories.

Methods And Material: Given a set of hierarchically categorized documents in the training stage the learning algorithm exploits the hierarchical structure of the concepts in order to overcome the low number of training examples.
