Bone scintigraphy is widely used to diagnose bone diseases. Accurate hotspot segmentation is a critical task for tumor metastasis diagnosis. In this paper, we propose an interactive approach to detect and extract hotspots in thoracic region based on a new multiple instance learning (MIL) method called EM-MILBoost. We convert the segmentation problem to a multiple instance learning task by constructing positive and negative bags according to the input bounding box. In order to be robust against noisy input, we train a region-level hotspot classifier with EM-MILBoost and develop several segmentation strategies based on it. The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms other methods and is robust against various noisy input.

When controlling a complex networked system it is not feasible to control the full network because many networks, including biological, technological, and social systems, are massive in size and complexity. But neither is it necessary to control the full network. In complex networks, the giant connected components provide the essential information about the entire system. How to control these giant connected components of a network remains an open question. We derive the mathematical expression of the degree distributions for four types of giant connected components and develop an analytic tool for studying the controllability of these giant connected components. We find that for both Erdős-Rényi (ER) networks and scale-free (SF) networks with p fraction of remaining nodes, the minimum driver node density to control the giant component first increases and then decreases as p increases from zero to one, showing a peak at a critical point p=pm. We find that, for ER networks, the peak value of the driver node density remains the same regardless of its average degree 〈k〉 and that it is determined by pm〈k〉. In addition, we find that for SF networks the minimum driver node densities needed to control the giant components of networks decrease as the degree distribution exponents increase. Comparing the controllability of the giant components of ER networks and SF networks, we find that when the fraction of remaining nodes p is low, the giant in-connected, out-connected, and strong-connected components in ER networks have lower controllability than those in SF networks.

In the application of neural interface, the neural activity of neurons and neuronal groups is not fixed even under the same task conditions. Meanwhile, the recording conditions of neural signals are also very unstable, with a high degree of within-and across-day variability. This results in a very unstable firing pattern for the recorded neural spike signals. In order to get better performance, the decoder often requires a lot of online calibration samples. This brings a heavy training burden to neural interface users. To solve this problem, this paper proposes to apply transfer learning (TL) to online calibration of intracortical neural interface to reduce the dependence of decoder on a large number of online calibration samples. Experimental results show that through transferring from a large amount of historical data, decoder can achieve satisfactory classification accuracy with only a small amount of online data.
