Our classifies ASD representations of different from convolutional neural networks, which are trained on images in the wild. experimental results show that used our statistically significant improve sensitivity, specificity, F1 score classification by a large margin. particular, addition...
Supply chain operations traditionally involve a variety of complex decision making problems. Over the last few decades, supply chains greatly benefited from advances in computation, which allowed transition manual processing to automation and cost-effective optimization. Nonetheless, business operators still need spend substantial efforts explaining interpreting optimization outcomes stakeholders. Motivated by recent Large Language Models (LLMs), we study how this disruptive technology can...
Problem definition: Cloud computing is a multibillion-dollar business that draws substantial capital investments from large companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Large cloud providers need to accommodate the growing demand for resources while avoiding unnecessary overprovisioning of hardware operational costs. The underlying decision processes are challenging, they involve long-term infrastructure under future uncertainty. In this paper, we introduce server deployment problem. One...
Recent AI advancements, such as OpenAI's new models, are transforming LLMs into LRMs (Large Reasoning Models) that perform reasoning during inference, taking extra time and compute for higher-quality outputs. We aim to uncover the algorithmic framework training LRMs. Methods like self-consistency, PRM, AlphaZero suggest guided search. ask: what is simplest, most scalable way enable search in LLMs? propose a post-training called Reinforcement Learning via Self-Play (RLSP). RLSP involves three...
Diagnosing diseases through histopathology whole slide images (WSIs) is fundamental in modern pathology but challenged by the gigapixel scale and complexity of WSIs. Trained histopathologists overcome this challenge navigating WSI, looking for relevant patches, taking notes, compiling them to produce a final holistic diagnostic. Traditional AI approaches, such as multiple instance learning transformer-based models, fail short holistic, iterative, multi-scale diagnostic procedure, limiting...
Recent learned cardinality estimation (CE) models are vulnerable when query predicates or the underlying datasets drift from what were trained upon.

Experiments with drifts suggest has small computational cost...
Abstract Aims To compare different patterns of memory impairment in patients with two subtypes mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) and healthy controls. Methods Thirty‐five controls 41 MTLE were recruited, which 25 diagnosed as hippocampal sclerosis (HS‐MTLE), the rest 16 lesion‐negative (MRI‐neg MTLE). Participants completed Wechsler assessment a short‐term game on an automated computer‐based platform eye tracker. Results Both MRI‐neg HS‐MTLE groups took longer time to complete than ( p...
In their expanding role as tutors, home and healthcare assistants, robots must effectively interact with individuals of varying ability temperament. Indeed, deploying in long-term social engagements will almost certainly require to reliably detect adapt changes the demeanor partners promote trust more productive collaboration. However, recognition emotional state typically relies on interpretation very subtle cues, often from one person next. addition, while facial expressions, body posture...
Most studies of executive function (EF) in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) focus on cognitive information processing, emphasizing less the social interaction deficits core to ASD. We designed a mobile game that uses and nonsocial stimuli assess children's EF skills. The comprised three components involving different skills: flexibility (shifting/inference), inhibitory control, short-term memory. By recruiting 65 children with without ASD play game, we investigated potential such platforms for...
Abstract The Selective Social Attention (SSA) task is a brief eye‐tracking involving experimental conditions varying along socio‐communicative axes. Traditionally the SSA has been used to probe socially‐specific attentional patterns in infants and toddlers who develop autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This current work extends these findings preschool school‐age children. Children 4‐ 12‐years‐old with ASD ( N = 23) typically‐developing comparison group (TD; 25) completed as well standardized...
In this paper, we investigate the intersection of large generative AI models and cloud-native computing architectures. Recent such as ChatGPT, while revolutionary in their capabilities, face challenges like escalating costs demand for high-end GPUs. Drawing analogies between large-model-as-a-service (LMaaS) cloud database-as-a-service (DBaaS), describe an AI-native paradigm that harnesses power both technologies (e.g., multi-tenancy serverless computing) advanced machine learning runtime...
Background: Looking pattern differences are shown to separate individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Typically Developing (TD) controls. Recent studies have that, in children ASD, these patterns change intellectual social impairments, suggesting that of attention provide indices clinically meaningful variation ASD. Method: We conducted a naturalistic study ASD (n = 55) typical development (TD, n 32). A battery eye-tracking video stimuli was used the study, including Activity...
Detection of melanocytes serves as a critical prerequisite in assessing melanocytic growth patterns when diagnosing melanoma and its precursor lesions on skin biopsy specimens. However, this detection is challenging due to the visual similarity other cells routine Hematoxylin Eosin (H&E) stained images, leading failure current nuclei methods. Stains such Sox10 can mark melanocytes, but they require an additional step expense thus are not regularly used clinical practice. To address these...
