组织病理学图像的出现取决于组织类型，染色和数字化过程。这些因素因来源而异，是域转移问题的潜在原因。由于这个问题，尽管深度学习模型在计算病理学中取得了巨大的成功，但在特定领域训练的模型当我们将其应用于另一个领域时，仍可能会表现出色。为了克服这一点，我们提出了一种称为PatchShuffling的新扩展，并为预训练的深度学习模型而被称为Impash的新型自我监视的对比学习框架。使用这些，我们获得了一个RESNET50编码器，该编码器可以提取对域移位抗性的图像表示。我们通过使用其他域普通化技术来比较了我们的派生表示形式，它们通过将它们用于结直肠组织图像的跨域分类。我们表明，所提出的方法优于其他传统的组织学领域适应和最先进的自我监督学习方法。代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/trinhvg/impash。

肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞（TIL）的定量已被证明是乳腺癌患者预后的独立预测因子。通常，病理学家对含有tils的基质区域的比例进行估计，以获得TILS评分。乳腺癌（Tiger）挑战中肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞旨在评估计算机生成的TILS评分的预后意义，以预测作为COX比例风险模型的一部分的存活率。在这一挑战中，作为Tiager团队，我们已经开发了一种算法，以将肿瘤与基质与基质进行第一部分，然后将肿瘤散装区域用于TILS检测。最后，我们使用这些输出来生成每种情况的TILS分数。在初步测试中，我们的方法达到了肿瘤 - 细胞瘤的加权骰子评分为0.791，而淋巴细胞检测的FROC得分为0.572。为了预测生存，我们的模型达到了0.719的C索引。这些结果在老虎挑战的初步测试排行榜中获得了第一名。

核毒素和eosin染色组织学图像中的核分段，分类和定量使得能够提取可解释的细胞基特征，该特征可用于计算病理（CPATH）中的下游可解释模型。然而，对不同核的自动识别面临着主要的挑战，因为有几种不同类型的核，其中一些呈现出大的内部变异性。为了帮助推动CPATH中自动核认可的前进研究和创新，我们组织了结肠核识别和计数（圆锥）挑战。挑战鼓励研究人员开发在CPATH中，在CPATH中，在CPATH中进行当前最大已知的公知的核级数据集进行分割，分类和计数，其中包含大约一半的标记的核。因此，锥形挑战利用核数量超过10倍的核，作为核识别的前一大挑战数据集。如果我们希望在临床环境中部署它们，则对输入变体具有强大的算法很重要。因此，作为这一挑战的一部分，我们还将测试每个提交算法对某些输入变化的敏感性。

口腔上皮发育不良（OED）是对口腔的病变给出的恶性肿瘤性组织病理学诊断。预测OED等级或情况是否将转型给恶性肿瘤对于早期检测和适当的治疗至关重要。 OED通常从上皮的下三分之一开始，然后以等级的严重程度向上逐步开始，因此我们提出了分割上皮层，除了单独的细胞核之外，还可以使研究人员能够评估级别/恶性预测的重要层种形态特征。我们呈现悬停网+，深度学习框架，以同时分段（和分类）核和（内部）在H＆E染色的载玻片中的核和（内）上皮层。所提出的架构由编码器分支和四个解码器分支组成，用于同时对上皮层的核和语义分割的同时分段。我们表明，拟议的模型在两个任务中实现了最先进的（SOTA）性能，而与每个任务的先前的SOTA方法相比，没有额外的成本。据我们所知，我们的是同时核实例分割和语义组织分割的第一种方法，具有用于其他类似同时任务的计算病理和对恶性预测的研究。

用于计算病理（CPATH）的深度分割模型的发展可以帮助培养可解释的形态生物标志物的调查。然而，这些方法的成功存在主要瓶颈，因为监督的深度学习模型需要丰富的准确标记数据。该问题在CPATH领域加剧，因为详细注释的产生通常需要对病理学家的输入能够区分不同的组织构建体和核。手动标记核可能不是收集大规模注释数据集的可行方法，特别是当单个图像区域可以包含数千个不同的单元时。但是，仅依靠自动生成注释将限制地面真理的准确性和可靠性。因此，为了帮助克服上述挑战，我们提出了一种多级注释管道，以使大规模数据集进行用于组织学图像分析，具有病理学家in-循环的细化步骤。使用本市管道，我们生成最大的已知核实例分段和分类数据集，其中包含近百万分之一的H＆E染色的结肠组织中标记的细胞核。我们发布了DataSet并鼓励研究社区利用它来推动CPATH中下游小区模型的发展。

New architecture GPUs like A100 are now equipped with multi-instance GPU (MIG) technology, which allows the GPU to be partitioned into multiple small, isolated instances. This technology provides more flexibility for users to support both deep learning training and inference workloads, but efficiently utilizing it can still be challenging. The vision of this paper is to provide a more comprehensive and practical benchmark study for MIG in order to eliminate the need for tedious manual benchmarking and tuning efforts. To achieve this vision, the paper presents MIGPerf, an open-source tool that streamlines the benchmark study for MIG. Using MIGPerf, the authors conduct a series of experiments, including deep learning training and inference characterization on MIG, GPU sharing characterization, and framework compatibility with MIG. The results of these experiments provide new insights and guidance for users to effectively employ MIG, and lay the foundation for further research on the orchestration of hybrid training and inference workloads on MIGs. The code and results are released on https://github.com/MLSysOps/MIGProfiler. This work is still in progress and more results will be published soon.

Tobacco origin identification is significantly important in tobacco industry. Modeling analysis for sensor data with near infrared spectroscopy has become a popular method for rapid detection of internal features. However, for sensor data analysis using traditional artificial neural network or deep network models, the training process is extremely time-consuming. In this paper, a novel broad learning system with Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy subsystem is proposed for rapid identification of tobacco origin. Incremental learning is employed in the proposed method, which obtains the weight matrix of the network after a very small amount of computation, resulting in much shorter training time for the model, with only about 3 seconds for the extra step training. The experimental results show that the TS fuzzy subsystem can extract features from the near infrared data and effectively improve the recognition performance. The proposed method can achieve the highest prediction accuracy (95.59 %) in comparison to the traditional classification algorithms, artificial neural network, and deep convolutional neural network, and has a great advantage in the training time with only about 128 seconds.

Accurate modeling of ship performance is crucial for the shipping industry to optimize fuel consumption and subsequently reduce emissions. However, predicting the speed-power relation in real-world conditions remains a challenge. In this study, we used in-service monitoring data from multiple vessels with different hull shapes to compare the accuracy of data-driven machine learning (ML) algorithms to traditional methods for assessing ship performance. Our analysis consists of two main parts: (1) a comparison of sea trial curves with calm-water curves fitted on operational data, and (2) a benchmark of multiple added wave resistance theories with an ML-based approach. Our results showed that a simple neural network outperformed established semi-empirical formulas following first principles. The neural network only required operational data as input, while the traditional methods required extensive ship particulars that are often unavailable. These findings suggest that data-driven algorithms may be more effective for predicting ship performance in practical applications.

As a common appearance defect of concrete bridges, cracks are important indices for bridge structure health assessment. Although there has been much research on crack identification, research on the evolution mechanism of bridge cracks is still far from practical applications. In this paper, the state-of-the-art research on intelligent theories and methodologies for intelligent feature extraction, data fusion and crack detection based on data-driven approaches is comprehensively reviewed. The research is discussed from three aspects: the feature extraction level of the multimodal parameters of bridge cracks, the description level and the diagnosis level of the bridge crack damage states. We focus on previous research concerning the quantitative characterization problems of multimodal parameters of bridge cracks and their implementation in crack identification, while highlighting some of their major drawbacks. In addition, the current challenges and potential future research directions are discussed.

Two approaches to AI, neural networks and symbolic systems, have been proven very successful for an array of AI problems. However, neither has been able to achieve the general reasoning ability required for human-like intelligence. It has been argued that this is due to inherent weaknesses in each approach. Luckily, these weaknesses appear to be complementary, with symbolic systems being adept at the kinds of things neural networks have trouble with and vice-versa. The field of neural-symbolic AI attempts to exploit this asymmetry by combining neural networks and symbolic AI into integrated systems. Often this has been done by encoding symbolic knowledge into neural networks. Unfortunately, although many different methods for this have been proposed, there is no common definition of an encoding to compare them. We seek to rectify this problem by introducing a semantic framework for neural-symbolic AI, which is then shown to be general enough to account for a large family of neural-symbolic systems. We provide a number of examples and proofs of the application of the framework to the neural encoding of various forms of knowledge representation and neural network. These, at first sight disparate approaches, are all shown to fall within the framework's formal definition of what we call semantic encoding for neural-symbolic AI.
