The projected increase in PayLater utilization reaches up to five million people by 2025. To optimize the yearly profit from their PayLater service, fintech companies must examine all possible risks before a unanimous decision is taken. Therefore, we proposed a unified decision framework derived from decision theory and the Monte Carlo simulation technique. Two schemes were coined: (1) a decision-making scheme, and (2) a risk simulation scheme. Throughout experiments, the framework was able to estimate several alternative decisions and their impacts, analyze the causes of failure and delays in the development of the PayLater service, and execute Monte Carlo simulations in up to 10,000 trials. Outputs of this study will benefit decision-makers in the fintech initiative before launching their PayLater products.

Consensus contours are often used to reduce annotator error in segmentation data. Here, we investigate the use of multi-annotator labels, in simulated data, for training auto-segmentation models. We compare convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on all observer annotations, STAPLE and majority voting estimates. We generate annotation sets by simulating observer delineations with varying noise and bias. By altering the quantity of observers and their relative biases, we investigate the impact of bias on CNN *** find that models trained on STAPLE contours are significantly worse when presented with biased annotations. CNNs trained on all annotations performed the best and were able to implicitly account for biased annotations in the training set.

In the application of instrumental variable analysis that conducts causal inference in the presence of unmeasured confounding, invalid instrumental variables and weak instrumental variables often exist which complicate the analysis. In this paper, we propose a model-free dimension reduction procedure to select the invalid instrumental variables and refine them into lower-dimensional linear combinations. The procedure also combines the weak instrumental variables into a few stronger instrumental variables that best condense their information. We then introduce the personalized dose-response function that incorporates the subject's personal characteristics into the conventional dose-response function, and use the reduced data from dimension reduction to propose a novel and easily implementable nonparametric estimator of this function. The proposed approach is suitable for both discrete and continuous treatment variables, and is robust to the dimensionality of data. Its effectiveness is illustrated by the simulation studies and the data analysis of ADNI-DoD study, where the causal relationship between depression and dementia is investigated.

Objective: Authors evaluated the performance of a commercially available next-generation sequencing assay kit;this was based on genomic content from Illumina's TruSight (TM) Oncology 500 research assay that identifies BRCA variants and proprietary algorithms licensed from Myriad and, with additional genomic content, measures the homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) genomic instability score (GIS) in tumor tissue (TSO 500 HRD assay). Methods: data from the TSO 500 HRD assay were compared with data from the Myriad MyChoice (R) CDx PLUS assay (Myriad assay). Prevalence rates for overall HRD status and BRCA mutations (a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation or both) and assay agreement rates for HRD GIS and BRCA analysis were assessed in ovarian tumor samples. Pearson correlations of the continuous HRD GIS and analytic sensitivity and specificity were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of overall HRD positivity was 51.2% (TSO 500 HRD assay) versus 49.2% (Myriad assay) and the prevalence of BRCA mutations was 27.6% (TSO 500 HRD assay) versus 25.5% (Myriad assay). After post-processing optimization, concordance of the HRD GIS was 0.980 in all samples and 0.976 in the non-BRCA mutation cohort;the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.995 and 0.992, respectively. Conclusions: Comparison between the Illumina and Myriad assays showed that overall HRD status, the individual components of BRCA analysis, and HRD GIS detection results were highly concordant (>93%), suggesting the TSO 500 HRD assay will approach the analytical accuracy of the FDA-approved Myriad assay.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly evolving and will be integral to the management of IBD patients. In this review, we provide an overview of technologies powering applications for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, with particular attention to information extraction from imaging and text records. Recent data highlight machine learning capability to replicate expert interpretation and judgment at population scale with accuracy in endoscopic and histology disease grading. Computer vision techniques are also detecting important findings difficult for even expert clinicians to reliably appreciate, including dysplasia on colonoscopy and fibrosis on CT and MRI imaging. Further, segmentation and radiomics can extract more information than manually possible, enabling new possibilities for disease measurement. Finally, natural language processing (NLP) is showing promise automatically extracting IBD-related medical concepts from text and generating conversational responses for both clinicians and patients. Quickly mounting evidence supports AI reliability grading disease severity in endoscopy, histology, and imaging. In particular use cases, AI can surpass the ability of humans for disease feature detecting and the generation of new measures of IBD activity. Ultimately, AI-powered information extraction will provide significant incremental improvement in the personalization predictions of outcomes and treatment course in IBD.
