Article Abstract
In this research, we present a semi-supervised segmentation solution using convolutional autoencoders to solve the problem of segmentation tasks having a small number of ground-truth images. We evaluate the proposed deep network architecture for the detection of nests of nevus cells in histopathological images of skin specimens is an important step in dermatopathology. The diagnostic criteria based on the degree of uniformity and symmetry of border irregularities are particularly vital in dermatopathology, in order to distinguish between benign and malignant skin lesions. However, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first described method to segment the nests region. The novelty of our approach is not only the area of research, but, furthermore, we address a problem with a small ground-truth dataset. We propose an effective computer-vision based deep learning tool that can perform the nests segmentation based on an autoencoder architecture with two learning steps. Experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its ability to segment nests areas with Dice similarity coefficient 0.81, sensitivity 0.76, and specificity 0.94, which is a state-of-the-art result.

In this work, we present the novel mathematical framework of latent dynamics models (LDMs) for reduced order modeling of parameterized nonlinear time-dependent PDEs. Our framework casts this latter task as a nonlinear dimensionality reduction problem, while constraining the latent state to evolve accordingly to an unknown dynamical system. A time-continuous setting is employed to derive error and stability estimates for the LDM approximation of the full order model (FOM) solution.

Background: Acute pain management is critical in postoperative care, especially in vulnerable patient populations that may be unable to self-report pain levels effectively. Current methods of pain assessment often rely on subjective patient reports or behavioral pain observation tools, which can lead to inconsistencies in pain management. Multimodal pain assessment, integrating physiological and behavioral data, presents an opportunity to create more objective and accurate pain measurement systems.

Emotion recognition plays a crucial role in brain-computer interfaces (BCI) which helps to identify and classify human emotions as positive, negative, and neutral. Emotion analysis in BCI maintains a substantial perspective in distinct fields such as healthcare, education, gaming, and human-computer interaction. In healthcare, emotion analysis based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals is deployed to provide personalized support for patients with autism or mood disorders.
