Setup gitlab-ce 9.0 on a vServer running Ubuntu 14.04 with Plesk 12
Published:
Recently, I had some struggle to get a GitLab instance running on my virtual server. Since I have no or minimal knowledge of configuring a server, Plesk seem to help a lot. Nevertheless, there are some differences between installing GitLab on a Plesk server and installing it on a raw apache setup. Following steps seem to work:

An Ontology-based transfer learning method improving classification of medical documents.
Published in 2022 21st IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), 2022
A transfer learning method which uses ontologies to normalise the feature space of text classifiers to guarantee that the trained models do not contain any person related data and can therefore be widely reused without raising General Data Protection Regulation issues.

A Hybrid AI-based Method for ICD Classification of Medical Documents
Published:
Short talk presenting our ontology-based transfer learning method for classifying medical documents with ICD codes. The core idea: instead of transferring statistical model weights — which risks leaking patient data under the GDPR — we normalize the classifier’s feature space through medical ontologies, making trained models reusable across institutions without additional training data.
