Medical Image Analysis (MIA) is integral to healthcare, demanding advanced computational techniques for precise diagnostics and treatment planning. The demand for accurate and interpretable models is imperative in the ever-evolving healthcare landscape. This paper explores the potential of Self-Supervised Learning (SSL), transfer learning and domain adaptation methods in MIA. The study comprehensively reviews SSL-based computational techniques in the context of medical imaging, highlighting their merits and limitations. In an empirical investigation, this study examines the lack of interpretable and explainable component selection in existing SSL approaches for MIA. Unlike prior studies that randomly select SSL components based on their performance on natural images, this paper focuses on identifying components based on the quality of learned representations through various clustering evaluation metrics. Various SSL techniques and backbone combinations were rigorously assessed on diverse medical image datasets. The results of this experiment provided insights into the performance and behavior of SSL methods, paving the way for an explainable and interpretable component selection mechanism for artificial intelligence models in medical imaging. The empirical study reveals the superior performance of BYOL (Bootstrap Your Own Latent) with resnet as the backbone, as indicated by various clustering evaluation metrics such as Silhouette Coefficient (0.6), Davies-Bouldin Index (0.67), and Calinski-Harabasz Index (36.9). The study also emphasizes the benefits of transferring weights from a model trained on a similar dataset instead of a dataset from a different domain. Results indicate that the proposed mechanism expedited convergence, achieving 98.66% training accuracy and 92.48% testing accuracy in 23 epochs, requiring almost half the number of epochs for similar results with ImageNet weights. This research contributes to advancing the understanding of SSL in MIA, providin

Modern electronic devices like smart bands, smartwatches, smartphones, and treadmills are widely used to track exertion metrics, also called energy expenditure, such as step counts, running, time, and distance. However, these devices often fail to meet the needs of individuals with mobility impairments, such as wheelchair users, for whom such metrics are hard to evaluate. This research introduces a tailored model to track and quantify exertion data for manual wheelchair users. The existing Heart Intensity Metric (HIM), which relies on parameters such as heart rate, weight, age, and time (exercise duration), is adapted with a revised Activity Intensity Assessor (AIA). The model incorporates critical factors for wheelchair users, including heart rate, adjusted movement status (1 for movement and zero for no movement), and inclination status, with new parameters, such as Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET), and wheelchair speed. The revised AIA is then adapted for the energy expenditure formula to calculate calorie-burning estimation specifically for manual wheelchair users. The revised approach minimizes false positives commonly produced by existing approaches for manual wheelchair users, especially in scenarios involving non-movement exercises like upper limb activities. Unlike prior models, the proposed AIA ensures precise energy expenditure calculations, even during stationary activities, and reflects a zero-calorie expenditure when no exercise occurs. Results are statistically verified and demonstrate that traditional formulas yield inaccurate calorie estimations for wheelchair users, while the revised model aligns better with physiological realities. This work provides a practical framework for designing electronic tools that effectively track energy expenditure/total energy (ET), also known as exertion efforts, and estimate calories burnt by manual wheelchair users. The scope of this study is limited to examining energy expenditure exclusively for manual wheelcha

Recommender systems are effective in mitigating information overload, yet the centralized storage of user data raises significant privacy concerns. Cross-user federated recommendation(CUFR) provides a promising distributed paradigm to address these concerns by enabling privacy-preserving recommendations directly on user devices. In this survey, we review and categorize current progress in CUFR, focusing on four key aspects: privacy, security, accuracy, and efficiency. Firstly,we conduct an in-depth privacy analysis, discuss various cases of privacy leakage, and then review recent methods for privacy protection. Secondly, we analyze security concerns and review recent methods for untargeted and targeted *** untargeted attack methods, we categorize them into data poisoning attack methods and parameter poisoning attack methods. For targeted attack methods, we categorize them into user-based methods and item-based methods. Thirdly,we provide an overview of the federated variants of some representative methods, and then review the recent methods for improving accuracy from two categories: data heterogeneity and high-order information. Fourthly, we review recent methods for improving training efficiency from two categories: client sampling and model compression. Finally, we conclude this survey and explore some potential future research topics in CUFR.
