We present a transformative approach to histopathological cancer detection and grading by introducing a very powerful feature extraction method based on the latest topological data analysis tools. By analyzing the evolution of topological patterns in different color channels, we discovered that every tumor class leaves its own topological footprint in histopathological images, allowing to extract feature vectors that can be used to reliably identify tumor *** topological signatures, even when combined with traditional machine learning methods, provide very fast and highly accurate results in various settings. While most DL models work well for one type of cancer, our model easily adapts to different scenarios, and consistently gives highly competitive results with the state-of-the-art models on benchmark datasets across multiple cancer types including bone, colon, breast, cervical (cytopathology), and prostate cancer. Unlike most DL models, our proposed Topo-ML model does not need any data augmentation or pre-processing steps and works perfectly on small datasets. The model is computationally very efficient, with end-to-end processing taking only a few hours for datasets consisting of thousands of images.

In recent years, drone-based delivery systems have gained significant attention for last-mile logistics in various domains. This study focuses on optimizing drone deliveries in mixed-grid environments, which combine urban and rural areas. The objective is to minimize the sum of distances between the delivery locations and the drone’s depot. By selecting the optimal depot placement, we aim to improve factors such as expected delivery time, energy consumption, and environmental impacts. To address this optimization problem, we conducted a comprehensive comparison of several state-of-the-art algorithms specifically designed for computing the drone placement in mixed-grid environments. Our evaluation utilized synthetic and quasi-real data and two distinct scenarios were considered: the full-grid scenario, and the partial-grid scenario. Through empirical analyses, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms and provide valuable insights into their trade-offs in terms of performance and time complexity.

In this paper, we analyze two versions of a texture synthesis algorithm, study the cases in which they fail to produce a successful result and present modifications that could be made to lessen their rates of failure. This algorithm, Model Synthesis, and its variation Wave Function Collapse are designed to take in a small sample input image, or set of image constraints, and produce a larger pseudorandom output image in which every region of the output image is locally similar to an element of the input image. Both versions of the algorithm accomplish this task by considering their output image as a grid of cells with each cell initially in a superposition of all possibilities for itself and resolving cells one by one until all cells have been resolved from their superposition to a fixed value. One of the key differences between the two versions of the algorithm is the order in which cells are selected to be resolved, one simply selects in a scanline order, while the other resolves first those cells that have the minimum entropy, and thus which we can be most certain of their eventual state. For many inputs, the minimum entropy model reaches a state in which its output is not consistent with the input and thus fails, while the scanline model does not. This paper looks at the cases in which this occurs and concludes that this is often caused by the minimum entropy model creating regions of elevated constraints in its solution. Finally, it presents a possible alteration to the algorithm which allows a minimum entropy model to avoid this manner of failure among a subset of test cases.

The local derivatives of Hermite type cubic splines are optimally determined on each subinterval of a given mesh through a set of five classical interpolation procedures in order to minimize a certain objective function. We construct an iterative method that selects on each subinterval, the adequate algorithm for providing the local derivatives which minimize the objective function such that the values of the local derivatives computed at the previous subinterval are preserved in order to keep the smoothness of the spline. The admissible set of classical interpolation procedures consists of the natural cubic spline, the Catmull-Rom cubic spline, the Akima's cubic spline, and the cubic splines with minimal derivative oscillation and those with minimal deviation by the data polygon. A numerical experiment is presented in order to illustrate the performances of the algorithm.
