The pathological diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease(GTD) takes a long time, relies heavily on the experience of pathologists, and the consistency of initial diagnosis is low, which seriously threatens maternal health and reproductive outcomes. We developed an expert model for GTD pathological diagnosis, named GTDoctor. GTDoctor can perform pixel-based lesion segmentation on pathological slides, and output diagnostic conclusions and personalized pathological analysis results. We developed a software system, GTDiagnosis, based on this technology and conducted clinical trials. The retrospective results demonstrated that GTDiagnosis achieved a mean precision of over 0.91 for lesion detection in pathological slides (n=679 slides). In prospective studies, pathologists using GTDiagnosis attained a Positive Predictive Value of 95.59% (n=68 patients). The tool reduced average diagnostic time from 56 to 16 seconds per case (n=285 patients). GTDoctor and GTDiagnosis offer a novel solution for GTD pathological diagnosis, enhancing diagnostic performance and efficiency while maintaining clinical interpretability.

Derivative-free optimization algorithms play an important role in scientific and engineering design optimization problems, especially when derivative information is not accessible. In this paper, we study the framework of sequential classification-based derivative-free optimization algorithms. By introducing learning theoretic concept hypothesis-target shattering rate, we revisit the computational complexity upper bound of SRACOS (Hu, Qian, and Yu 2017). Inspired by the revisited upper bound, we propose an algorithm named RACE-CARS, which adds a random region-shrinking step compared with SRACOS. We further establish theorems showing the acceleration by region shrinking. Experiments on the synthetic functions as well as black-box tuning for language-model-as-a-service demonstrate empirically the efficiency of RACE-CARS. An ablation experiment on the introduced hyperparameters is also conducted, revealing the mechanism of RACE-CARS and putting forward an empirical hyper-parameter tuning guidance.

Body-fitted arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) methods provide a sharp representation of the fluid-structure interface but rely on mesh-update strategies that incrementally deform a reference configuration. To address this issue, we reformulate the ALE mesh-motion problem in the isogeometric setting as a sequence of independent domain parameterization problems. At each time step, a multi-patch spline parameterization of the fluid domain is constructed from the current interface geometry. Three technical components realize this framework: (i) a barrier-function-based spline parameterization that enforces a strictly positive Jacobian at every time step; (ii) a tangential-slip reparameterization that handles unbounded cumulative rotations of closed domains, where no fixed boundary-to-parameter correspondence is admissible; and (iii) a constant-preserving quasi-interpolation operator for solution transfer between consecutive parameterizations, ensuring that the discrete geometric conservation law holds algebraically. We validate the method on three two-dimensional FSI benchmarks, covering standard and large-rotation regimes, and on a three-dimensional rotor problem. On a rotating-square benchmark, the tangential-slip strategy enables simulations under sustained rotation far beyond the range accessible to classical mesh-update schemes--a regime that is fundamentally inaccessible to any mesh-deformation formulation, not merely numerically difficult. A three-dimensional rotor example further demonstrates that the framework extends naturally to volumetric spline parameterizations. Finally, we show that the per-step spline parameterizations can be used directly within a standard finite element solver.

Fast and reliable wireless communication has become a critical demand in human life. In the case of mission-critical (MC) scenarios, for instance, when natural disasters strike, providing ubiquitous connectivity becomes challenging by using traditional wireless networks. In this context, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based aerial networks offer a promising alternative for fast, flexible, and reliable wireless communications. Due to unique characteristics such as mobility, flexible deployment, and rapid reconfiguration, drones can readily change location dynamically to provide on-demand communications to users on the ground in emergency scenarios. As a result, the usage of UAV base stations (UAV-BSs) has been considered an appropriate approach for providing rapid connection in MC scenarios. In this paper, we study how to control multiple UAV-BSs in both static and dynamic environments. We use a system-level simulator to model an MC scenario in which a macro BS of a cellular network is out of service and multiple UAV-BSs are deployed using integrated access and backhaul (IAB) technology to provide coverage for users in the disaster area. With the data collected from the system-level simulation, a deep reinforcement learning algorithm is developed to jointly optimize the three-dimensional placement of these multiple UAV-BSs, which adapt their 3-D locations to the on-ground user movement. The evaluation results show that the proposed algorithm can support the autonomous navigation of the UAV-BSs to meet the MC service requirements in terms of user throughput and drop rate.

Fast and reliable connectivity is essential to enhancing situational awareness and operational efficiency for public safety mission-critical (MC) users. In emergency or disaster circumstances, where existing cellular network coverage and capacity may not be available to meet MC communication demands, deployable-network-based solutions such as cells-on-wheels/wings can be utilized swiftly to ensure reliable connection for MC users. In this paper, we consider a scenario where a macro base station (BS) is destroyed due to a natural disaster and an unmanned aerial vehicle carrying BS (UAV-BS) is set up to provide temporary coverage for users in the disaster area. The UAV-BS is integrated into the mobile network using the 5G integrated access and backhaul (IAB) technology. We propose a framework and signalling procedure for applying machine learning to this use case. A deep reinforcement learning algorithm is designed to jointly optimize the access and backhaul antenna tilt as well as the three-dimensional location of the UAV-BS in order to best serve the on-ground MC users while maintaining a good backhaul connection. Our result shows that the proposed algorithm can autonomously navigate and configure the UAV-BS to improve the throughput and reduce the drop rate of MC users.

In many situations, classes of data points of primary interest also happen to be those that are least numerous. A well-known example is detection of fraudulent transactions among the collection of all financial transactions, the vast majority of which are legitimate. These types of problems fall under the label of `rare-category detection.' There are two challenging aspects of these problems. The first is a general lack of labeled examples of the rare class and the second is the potential non-separability of the rare class from the majority (in terms of available features). Statistics related to the geometry of the rare class (such as its intrinsic dimension) can be significantly different from those for the majority class, reflecting the different dynamics driving variation in the different classes. In this paper we present a new supervised learning algorithm that uses a dimension-driven statistic, called the kappa-profile, to classify whether unlabeled points belong to a rare class. Our algorithm requires very few labeled examples and is invariant with respect to translation so that it performs equivalently on both separable and non-separable classes.
