Molecular pathology makes use of estimates of tumor content (tumor percentage) for pre-analytic and analytic purposes, such as molecular oncology testing, massive parallel sequencing, or next-generation sequencing (NGS), assessment of sample acceptability, accurate quantitation of variants, assessment of copy number changes (among other applications), determination of specimen viability for testing (since many assays require a minimum tumor content to report variants at the limit of detection) may all be improved with more accurate and reproducible estimates of tumor content. Currently, tumor percentages of samples submitted for molecular testing are estimated by visual examination of Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained tissue slides under the microscope by pathologists. These estimations can be automated, expedited, and rendered more accurate by applying machine learning methods on digital whole slide images (WSI).
This research paper explores the effects of data variance on the quality of Artificial Intelligence image generation models and the impact on a viewer's perception of the generated images. The study examines how the quality and accuracy of the images produced by these models are influenced by factors such as size, labeling, and format of the training data. The findings suggest that reducing the training dataset size can lead to a decrease in image coherence, indicating that AI models get worse as the training dataset gets smaller. Moreover, the study makes surprising discoveries regarding AI image generation models that are trained on highly varied datasets. In addition, the study involves a survey in which people were asked to rate the subjective realism of the generated images on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 as well as sorting the images into their respective classes. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of considering dataset variance and size as a critical aspect of improving image generation models as well as the implications of using AI technology in the future.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for improving the chances of successful treatment and survival. In this thesis, many different machine learning algorithms were evaluated and compared to predict breast cancer malignancy from diagnostic features extracted from digitized images of breast tissue samples, called fine-needle aspirates. Breast cancer diagnosis typically involves a combination of mammography, ultrasound, and biopsy. However, machine learning algorithms can assist in the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns that may not be discernible to the human eye. By using these algorithms, healthcare professionals can potentially detect breast cancer at an earlier stage, leading to more effective treatment and better patient outcomes. The results showed that the gradient boosting classifier performed the best, achieving an accuracy of 96% on the test set. This indicates that this algorithm can be a useful tool for healthcare professionals in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.
the application of deep learning and planning techniques, with the aim of constructing generalized plans capable of solving multiple problem instances. We construct a Deep Neural Network that, given an abstract problem state, predicts both (i) the best action to be taken from that state and (ii) the generalized “role” of the object being manipulated. The neural network was tested on two classical planning domains: the blocks world domain and the logistic domain. Results indicate that neural networks are capable of making such
predictions with high accuracy, indicating a promising new framework for approaching generalized planning problems.
AI and deep learning workloads are different from the conventional cloud and mobile workloads, with respect to: (1) Computational Intensity, (2) I/O characteristics, and (3) communication pattern. While there is a considerable amount of research activity on the theoretical aspects of AI and Deep Learning algorithms that run with greater efficiency, there are only a few studies on the infrastructural impact of Deep Learning workloads on computing and storage resources in distributed systems.
It is typical to utilize a heterogeneous mixture of CPU and GPU devices to perform training on a neural network. Google Brain has a developed a reinforcement model that can place training operations across a heterogeneous cluster. Though it has only been tested with local devices in a single cluster. This study will explore the method’s capabilities and attempt to apply this method on a cluster with nodes across a network.
