Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss. Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is a related condition where fluid accumulates in the macula, leading to retinal thickening. Early detection of both DR and DME is critical for effective treatment. However, current detection methods are timeconsuming and challenging. In this paper, we propose a novel approach using Capsule Networks and GAN to automatically detect and classify DR and DME using retinal images. We also investigate the correlation between the two conditions and develop a cross-disease grading system using image-level supervision. Our proposed model is tested on two publicly available datasets, Messidor and IDRiD, and achieves promising results. Our approach represents a significant advance in the automated detection of DR and DME using deep learning techniques.

Power converter control techniques must evolve to accommodate power system complexity and renewable energy integration. Traditional control methods may be difficult to adapt to these dynamic and uncertain systems. Reinforcement learning (RL) can build optimal control policies in complex and unpredictable situations, making it a promising intelligent control solution in this scenario. This research examines how reinforcement learning can control power converters in energy systems. Advanced reinforcement learning methods, notably deep reinforcement learning, are used to improve power converter efficiency in varied operational scenarios. This research examines the integration of reinforcement learning (RL)-based controllers into power converter systems, focusing on their autonomous learning and adaptation. The explored method uses Reinforcement Learning (RL) flexibility to address power system time-varying conditions, non-linearities, and uncertainties. This research considers practical concerns such RL-based control's effects on real-time execution, processing requirements, and safety. The report concludes with suggestions for future research including expanding RL-based intelligent control systems to power system applications. Reinforcement learning keywords include stability, efficiency, reliability, renewable energy, deep reinforcement learning, power converters, intelligent control, and energy systems.

Pioneer efforts have been dedicated to action segmentation that predicts what step is occurring in a video frame. Existing studies focus on improving the accuracy of video segmentation, but neglect the temporal continuity of intersegments and semantic consistency of intra-segments, which are necessary for developing computer-assisted systems. Meanwhile, Temporal Convolutional Networks have shown good performance in action segmentation tasks, but their high layers tend to lose fine-grained information and impact the results. Toward this end, we devise a multi-feature and multi-branch action segmentation framework for modeling long-term and short-term dependencies. Specifically, we present a multi-feature fusion to enhance temporal video representation and design a multi-branch predictor for extracting both segment-level and frame-level information. We justify our framework over three datasets and experimental results demonstrate its superiority, especially in Edit and F1 metrics, which means our framework is more applicable to computer-assisted systems.

Brain atrophy and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) are critical neuroimaging features for ascertaining brain injury in cerebrovascular disease and multiple sclerosis. Automated segmentation and quantification is desirable but existing methods require high-resolution MRI with good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This precludes application to clinical and low-field portable MRI (pMRI) scans, thus hampering large-scale tracking of atrophy and WMH progression, especially in underserved areas where pMRI has huge potential. Here we present a method that segments white matter hyperintensity and 36 brain regions from scans of any resolution and contrast (including pMRI) without retraining. We show results on eight public datasets and on a private dataset with paired high- and low-field scans (3T and 64mT), where we attain strong correlation between the WMH (ρ=.85) and hippocampal volumes (ρ=.89) estimated at both fields. Our method is publicly available as part of FreeSurfer, at: http://***/fswiki/WMH-SynthSeg.

In this paper we study two-player bilinear zero-sum games with constrained strategy spaces. An instance of natural occurrences of such constraints is when mixed strategies are used, which correspond to a probability simplex constraint. We propose and analyze the alternating mirror descent algorithm, in which each player takes turns to take action following the mirror descent algorithm for constrained optimization. We interpret alternating mirror descent as an alternating discretization of a skew-gradient flow in the dual space, and use tools from convex optimization and modified energy function to establish an O(K-2/3) bound on its average regret after K iterations. This quantitatively verifies the algorithm's better behavior than the simultaneous version of mirror descent algorithm, which is known to diverge and yields an O(K-1/2) average regret bound. In the special case of an unconstrained setting, our results recover the behavior of alternating gradient descent algorithm for zero-sum games which was studied in [2].

We present a novel quantum high-dimensional linear regression algorithm with an 1-penalty based on the classical LARS (Least Angle Regression) pathwise algorithm. Similarly to available classical numerical algorithms for Lasso, our quantum algorithm provides the full regularisation path as the penalty term varies, but quadratically faster per iteration under specific conditions. A quadratic speedup on the number of features/predictors d is possible by using the simple quantum minimum-finding subroutine from Dürr and Høyer (arXiv’96) in order to obtain the joining time at each iteration. We then improve upon this simple quantum algorithm and obtain a quadratic speedup both in the number of features d and the number of observations n by using the approximate quantum minimum-finding subroutine from Chen and de Wolf (ICALP’23). In order to do so, we construct a quantum unitary based on quantum amplitude estimation to approximately compute the joining times to be searched over by the approximate quantum minimum-finding subroutine. Since the joining times are no longer exactly computed, it is no longer clear that the resulting approximate quantum algorithm obtains a good solution. As another main contribution, we prove, via an approximate version of the KKT conditions and a duality gap, that the LARS algorithm (and therefore our quantum algorithm) is robust to errors. This means that it still outputs a path that minimises the Lasso cost function up to a small error if the joining times are only approximately computed. Furthermore, we show that, when the observations are sampled from a Gaussian distribution, our quantum algorithm’s complexity only depends polylogarithmically on n, exponentially better than the classical LARS algorithm, while keeping the quadratic improvement on d. Moreover, we propose a dequantised version of our quantum algorithm that also retains the polylogarithmic dependence on n, albeit presenting the linear scaling on d from the standard LARS algorit
We characterize the extremal trees that maximize the number of almost-perfect matchings, which are matchings covering all but one or two vertices, and those that maximize the number of strong almost-perfect matchings,...
