1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This paper presents an unsupervised clustering random-forest-based metric for affinity estimation in large and high-dimensional data. The criterion used for node splitting during forest construction can handle rank-deficiency when measuring cluster compactness. The binary forest-based metric is extended to continuous metrics by exploiting both the common traversal path and the smallest shared parent node. The proposed forest-based metric efficiently estimates affinity by passing down data pairs in the forest using a limited number of decision trees. A pseudo-leaf-splitting (PLS) algorithm is introduced to account for spatial relationships, which regularizes affinity measures and overcomes inconsistent leaf assign-ments. The random-forest-based metric with PLS facilitates the establishment of consistent and point-wise correspondences. The proposed method has been applied to automatic phrase recognition using color and depth videos and point-wise correspondence. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in affinity estimation in a comparison with the state-of-the-art.
