Published: July 2014

In our previous work [1] we have introduced a redundant tree-based wavelet transform (RTBWT), originally designed to represent functions defined on high dimensional data clouds and graphs. We have further shown that RTBWT can be used as a highly effective image-adaptive redundant transform that operates on an image using orderings of its overlapped patches. The resulting transform is robust to corruptions in the image, and thus able to efficiently represent the unknown target image even when it is calculated from its corrupted version. In this paper, we utilize this redundant transform as a powerful sparsity-promoting regularizer in inverse problems in image processing. We show that the image representation obtained with this transform is a frame expansion, and derive the analysis and synthesis operators associated with it. We explore the use of this frame operators to image denoising and deblurring, and demonstrate in both these cases state-of-the-art results.

Physics-informed deep learning quantifies propagated uncertainty in seismic structure and hypocenter determination.

Subsurface seismic velocity structure is essential for earthquake source studies, including hypocenter determination. Conventional hypocenter determination methods ignore the inherent uncertainty in seismic velocity structure models, and the impact of this oversight has not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we address this issue by employing a physics-informed deep learning (PIDL) approach that quantifies uncertainty in two-dimensional seismic velocity structure modeling and its propagation to hypocenter determination by introducing neural network ensembles trained on active seismic survey data, earthquake observation data, and the physical equation of wavefront movement.

Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an innovative binary form of radiation therapy with high selectivity towards cancer tissue based on the neutron capture reaction B(n,α)Li, consisting in the exposition of patients to neutron beams after administration of a boron compound with preferential accumulation in cancer cells. The high linear energy transfer products of the ensuing reaction deposit their energy at the cell level, sparing normal tissue. Although progress in accelerator-based BNCT has led to renewed interest in this cancer treatment modality, in vivo dose monitoring during treatment still remains not feasible and several approaches are under investigation.

Recovering the relaxation spectrum, a fundamental rheological characteristic of polymers, from experiment data requires special identification methods since it is a difficult ill-posed inverse problem. Recently, a new approach relating the identification index directly with a completely unknown real relaxation spectrum has been proposed. The integral square error of the relaxation spectrum model was applied.

This work provides a statistical analysis of four different approaches suggested in the literature for the estimation of an unknown concentration based on data collected using the standard addition method. These approaches are the conventional extrapolation approach, the interpolation approach, inverse regression, and the normalization approach. These methods are compared under the assumption that the measurement errors are normally distributed and homoscedastic.

Background: Accurate classification of patient complaints is crucial for enhancing patient satisfaction management in health care settings. Traditional manual methods for categorizing complaints often lack efficiency and precision. Thus, there is a growing demand for advanced and automated approaches to streamline the classification process.
