对从FFPE组织块制备的载玻片上切割的染色组织的光学显微镜检查是组织诊断的金标准。此外，任何病理学家的诊断能力和专业知识都取决于他们在常见和稀有变体形态上的直接经验。最近，深度学习方法已被用来成功显示此类任务的高度准确性。但是，获得专家级注释的图像是一项昂贵且耗时的任务，人为合成的组织学图像可能会非常有益。在这里，我们提出了一种方法，不仅可以生成组织学图像，从而重现普通疾病的诊断形态特征，而且还提供了产生新的和罕见形态的用户能力。我们的方法涉及开发一种生成的对抗网络模型，该模型综合了由类标签约束的病理图像。我们研究了该框架合成现实的前列腺和结肠组织图像的能力，并评估了这些图像在增强机器学习方法的诊断能力以及通过一组经验丰富的解剖病理学家的可用性方面的实用性。我们的框架生成的合成数据在训练深度学习模型中进行了类似于实际数据进行诊断。病理学家无法区分真实图像和合成图像，并显示出相似的前列腺癌分级的观察者间一致性。我们扩展了从结肠活检中显着复杂图像的方法，并表明也可以再现了此类组织中的复杂微环境。最后，我们介绍了用户通过简单的语义标签标记来生成深层组织学图像的能力。

脑小血管疾病的成像标记提供了有关脑部健康的宝贵信息，但是它们的手动评估既耗时又受到实质性内部和间际变异性的阻碍。自动化评级可能受益于生物医学研究以及临床评估，但是现有算法的诊断可靠性尚不清楚。在这里，我们介绍了\ textIt {血管病变检测和分割}（\ textit {v textit {where valdo？}）挑战，该挑战是在国际医学图像计算和计算机辅助干预措施（MICCAI）的卫星事件中运行的挑战（MICCAI） 2021.这一挑战旨在促进大脑小血管疾病的小而稀疏成像标记的自动检测和分割方法的开发，即周围空间扩大（EPVS）（任务1），脑微粒（任务2）和预先塑造的鞋类血管起源（任务3），同时利用弱和嘈杂的标签。总体而言，有12个团队参与了针对一个或多个任务的解决方案的挑战（任务1 -EPVS 4，任务2 -Microbleeds的9个，任务3 -lacunes的6个）。多方数据都用于培训和评估。结果表明，整个团队和跨任务的性能都有很大的差异，对于任务1- EPV和任务2-微型微型且对任务3 -lacunes尚无实际的结果，其结果尤其有望。它还强调了可能阻止个人级别使用的情况的性能不一致，同时仍证明在人群层面上有用。

复发性神经网络已被证明是高能量物理中许多任务的有效体系结构，因此已被广泛采用。然而，由于在现场可编程门阵列（FPGAS）上实现经常性体系结构的困难，它们在低延迟环境中的使用受到了限制。在本文中，我们介绍了HLS4ML框架内两种类型的复发性神经网络层（长期短期内存和封闭式复发单元）的实现。我们证明，我们的实施能够为小型和大型模型生产有效的设计，并且可以定制以满足推理潜伏期和FPGA资源的特定设计要求。我们显示了多个神经网络的性能和合成设计，其中许多是专门针对CERN大型强子对撞机的喷气识别任务的培训。

对于电网操作，具有精细时间和空间分辨率的太阳能发电准确预测对于电网的操作至关重要。然而，与数值天气预报（NWP）结合机器学习的最先进方法具有粗略分辨率。在本文中，我们采用曲线图信号处理透视和型号的多网站光伏（PV）生产时间序列作为图表上的信号，以捕获它们的时空依赖性并实现更高的空间和时间分辨率预测。我们提出了两种新颖的图形神经网络模型，用于确定性多站点PV预测，被称为图形 - 卷积的长期内存（GCLSTM）和图形 - 卷积变压器（GCTRAFO）模型。这些方法仅依赖于生产数据并利用PV系统提供密集的虚拟气象站网络的直觉。所提出的方法是在整整一年的两组数据集中评估：1）来自304个真实光伏系统的生产数据，以及2）模拟生产1000个PV系统，包括瑞士分布。该拟议的模型优于最先进的多站点预测方法，用于预测前方6小时的预测视野。此外，所提出的模型以NWP优于最先进的单站点方法，如前方的视野上的输入。

维数减少（DR）技术有助于分析师理解高维空间的模式。这些技术通常由散点图表示，在不同的科学域中使用，并促进集群和数据样本之间的相似性分析。对于包含许多粒度的数据集或者当分析遵循信息可视化Mantra时，分层DR技术是最合适的方法，因为它们预先呈现了主要结构和需求的详细信息。然而，当前的分层DR技术并不完全能够解决文献问题，因为它们不保留跨分层级别的投影心理映射，或者不适合大多数数据类型。这项工作提出了Humap，一种新颖的等级维度减少技术，旨在灵活地保护本地和全球结构，并在整个分层勘探中保留心理贴图。我们提供了与现有的等级方法相比我们技术优势的经验证据，并显示了两种案例研究以证明其优势。

Dimensionality Reduction (DR) scatterplot layouts have become a ubiquitous visualization tool for analyzing multidimensional datasets. Despite their popularity, such scatterplots suffer from occlusion, especially when informative glyphs are used to represent data instances, potentially obfuscating critical information for the analysis under execution. Different strategies have been devised to address this issue, either producing overlap-free layouts which lack the powerful capabilities of contemporary DR techniques in uncovering interesting data patterns or eliminating overlaps as a post-processing strategy. Despite the good results of post-processing techniques, most of the best methods typically expand or distort the scatterplot area, thus reducing glyphs' size (sometimes) to unreadable dimensions, defeating the purpose of removing overlaps. This paper presents Distance Grid (DGrid), a novel post-processing strategy to remove overlaps from DR layouts that faithfully preserves the original layout's characteristics and bounds the minimum glyph sizes. We show that DGrid surpasses the state-of-the-art in overlap removal (through an extensive comparative evaluation considering multiple different metrics) while also being 2 or 3 orders of magnitude faster for large datasets.

Logic Mill is a scalable and openly accessible software system that identifies semantically similar documents within either one domain-specific corpus or multi-domain corpora. It uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to generate numerical representations of documents. Currently it leverages a large pre-trained language model to generate these document representations. The system focuses on scientific publications and patent documents and contains more than 200 million documents. It is easily accessible via a simple Application Programming Interface (API) or via a web interface. Moreover, it is continuously being updated and can be extended to text corpora from other domains. We see this system as a general-purpose tool for future research applications in the social sciences and other domains.

This paper proposes a novel observer-based controller for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to directly receive measurements from a Vision-Aided Inertial Navigation System (VA-INS) and produce the required thrust and rotational torque inputs. The VA-INS is composed of a vision unit (monocular or stereo camera) and a typical low-cost 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) equipped with an accelerometer and a gyroscope. A major benefit of this approach is its applicability for environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) is inaccessible. The proposed VTOL-UAV observer utilizes IMU and feature measurements to accurately estimate attitude (orientation), gyroscope bias, position, and linear velocity. Ability to use VA-INS measurements directly makes the proposed observer design more computationally efficient as it obviates the need for attitude and position reconstruction. Once the motion components are estimated, the observer-based controller is used to control the VTOL-UAV attitude, angular velocity, position, and linear velocity guiding the vehicle along the desired trajectory in six degrees of freedom (6 DoF). The closed-loop estimation and the control errors of the observer-based controller are proven to be exponentially stable starting from almost any initial condition. To achieve global and unique VTOL-UAV representation in 6 DoF, the proposed approach is posed on the Lie Group and the design in unit-quaternion is presented. Although the proposed approach is described in a continuous form, the discrete version is provided and tested. Keywords: Vision-aided inertial navigation system, unmanned aerial vehicle, vertical take-off and landing, stochastic, noise, Robotics, control systems, air mobility, observer-based controller algorithm, landmark measurement, exponential stability.

Recent advances in upper limb prostheses have led to significant improvements in the number of movements provided by the robotic limb. However, the method for controlling multiple degrees of freedom via user-generated signals remains challenging. To address this issue, various machine learning controllers have been developed to better predict movement intent. As these controllers become more intelligent and take on more autonomy in the system, the traditional approach of representing the human-machine interface as a human controlling a tool becomes limiting. One possible approach to improve the understanding of these interfaces is to model them as collaborative, multi-agent systems through the lens of joint action. The field of joint action has been commonly applied to two human partners who are trying to work jointly together to achieve a task, such as singing or moving a table together, by effecting coordinated change in their shared environment. In this work, we compare different prosthesis controllers (proportional electromyography with sequential switching, pattern recognition, and adaptive switching) in terms of how they present the hallmarks of joint action. The results of the comparison lead to a new perspective for understanding how existing myoelectric systems relate to each other, along with recommendations for how to improve these systems by increasing the collaborative communication between each partner.

A "heart attack" or myocardial infarction (MI), occurs when an artery supplying blood to the heart is abruptly occluded. The "gold standard" method for imaging MI is Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), with intravenously administered gadolinium-based contrast (late gadolinium enhancement). However, no "gold standard" fully automated method for the quantification of MI exists. In this work, we propose an end-to-end fully automatic system (MyI-Net) for the detection and quantification of MI in MRI images. This has the potential to reduce the uncertainty due to the technical variability across labs and inherent problems of the data and labels. Our system consists of four processing stages designed to maintain the flow of information across scales. First, features from raw MRI images are generated using feature extractors built on ResNet and MoblieNet architectures. This is followed by the Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling (ASPP) to produce spatial information at different scales to preserve more image context. High-level features from ASPP and initial low-level features are concatenated at the third stage and then passed to the fourth stage where spatial information is recovered via up-sampling to produce final image segmentation output into: i) background, ii) heart muscle, iii) blood and iv) scar areas. New models were compared with state-of-art models and manual quantification. Our models showed favorable performance in global segmentation and scar tissue detection relative to state-of-the-art work, including a four-fold better performance in matching scar pixels to contours produced by clinicians.
