Quantitative cephalometric analysis is the most widely used clinical and research tool in modern orthodontics. Accurate localization of cephalometric landmarks enables the quantification and classification of anatomical abnormalities, however, the traditional manual way of marking these landmarks is a very tedious job. Endeavours have constantly been made to develop automated cephalometric landmark detection systems but they are inadequate for orthodontic applications. The fundamental reason for this is that the amount of publicly available datasets as well as the images provided for training in these datasets are insufficient for an AI model to perform well. To facilitate the development of robust AI solutions for morphometric analysis, we organise the CEPHA29 Automatic Cephalometric Landmark Detection Challenge in conjunction with IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI 2023). In this context, we provide the largest known publicly available dataset, consisting of 1000 cephalometric X-ray images. We hope that our challenge will not only derive forward research and innovation in automatic cephalometric landmark identification but will also signal the beginning of a new era in the discipline.

In recent years, social media has been widely explored as a potential source of communication and information in disasters and emergency situations. Several interesting works and case studies of disaster analytics exploring different aspects of natural disasters have been already conducted. Along with the great potential, disaster analytics comes with several challenges mainly due to the nature of social media content. In this paper, we explore one such challenge and propose a text classification framework to deal with Twitter noisy data. More specifically, we employed several transformers both individually and in combination, so as to differentiate between relevant and non-relevant Twitter posts, achieving the highest F1-score of 0.87.

Generative models have been very successful over the years and have received significant attention for synthetic data generation. As deep learning models are getting more and more complex, they require large amounts of data to perform accurately. In medical image analysis, such generative models play a crucial role as the available data is limited due to challenges related to data privacy, lack of data diversity, or uneven data distributions. In this paper, we present a method to generate brain tumor MRI images using generative adversarial networks. We have utilized StyleGAN2 with ADA methodology to generate high-quality brain MRI with tumors while using a significantly smaller amount of training data when compared to the existing approaches. We use three pre-trained models for transfer learning. Results demonstrate that the proposed method can learn the distributions of brain tumors. Furthermore, the model can generate high-quality synthetic brain MRI with a tumor that can limit the small sample size issues. The approach can addresses the limited data availability by generating realistic-looking brain MRI with tumors.

乳腺癌是全球女性死亡的主要原因之一。如果在高级阶段检测到很难治疗，但是，早期发现可以显着增加生存机会，并改善数百万妇女的生活。鉴于乳腺癌的普遍流行，研究界提出早期检测，分类和诊断的框架至关重要。与医生协调的人工智能研究社区正在开发此类框架以自动化检测任务。随着研究活动的激增，加上大型数据集的可用性和增强的计算能力，预计AI框架结果将有助于更多的临床医生做出正确的预测。在本文中，提出了使用乳房X线照片对乳腺癌进行分类的新框架。所提出的框架结合了从新颖的卷积神经网络（CNN）功能中提取的强大特征，以及手工制作的功能，包括猪（定向梯度的直方图）和LBP（本地二进制图案）。在CBIS-DDSM数据集上获得的结果超过了技术状态。

为了解决逆问题，已经开发了插件（PNP）方法，可以用呼叫特定于应用程序的DeNoiser在凸优化算法中替换近端步骤，该算法通常使用深神经网络（DNN）实现。尽管这种方法已经成功，但可以改进它们。例如，Denoiser通常经过设计/训练以消除白色高斯噪声，但是PNP算法中的DINOISER输入误差通常远非白色或高斯。近似消息传递（AMP）方法提供了白色和高斯DEOISER输入误差，但仅当正向操作员是一个大的随机矩阵时。在这项工作中，对于基于傅立叶的远期运营商，我们提出了一种基于普遍期望一致性（GEC）近似的PNP算法 - AMP的紧密表弟 - 在每次迭代时提供可预测的错误统计信息，以及新的DNN利用这些统计数据的Denoiser。我们将方法应用于磁共振成像（MRI）图像恢复，并证明其优于现有的PNP和AMP方法。
