Natural language processing in urology: automated extraction of clinical information from histopathology reports of uro-oncology procedures by Huang, Honghong, Lim, Fiona Xin Yi, Gu, Gary Tianyu, Han, Matthew Jiangchou, Fang, Andrew Hao Sen, Chia, Elian Hui San, Bei, Eileen Yen Tze, Tham, Sarah Zhuling, Ho, Henry Sun Sien, Yuen, John Shyi Peng, Sun, Aixin, Lim, Jay Kheng Sit

“…On the other hand, ML/DL models had poorer predictive performances due to highly imbalanced data distribution and variable writing styles between different reports and data used for domain-specific pre-trained models. Conclusion: We designed an NLP algorithm that can automate clinical information extraction accurately from histopathology reports with an overall average micro accuracy of 93.3%.…”

Optimal selection of elevation-dependent stochastic models for real-time PPP with GPS/Galileo/BDS by Liu, Peng, Ling, Keck Voon, Qin, Honglei, Jiang, Xue, Lu, Jun

“…Meanwhile, the four commonly used elevation-dependent stochastic models are compared after expressing the observation model. Specifically, as a modest breakthrough, the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is introduced to obtain theoretical evidence for possible variations in the suitability of a stochastic model with varying SSR through the mathematical relationship of positioning errors, ephemeris errors, and the stochastic model. …”

A unified framework of active transfer learning for cross-system recommendation by Zhao, Lili, Pan, Sinno Jialin, Yang, Qiang

“…In this paper, we propose a new transfer learning framework for recommender systems, which relaxes the above assumption to facilitate flexible knowledge transfer across different systems with low cost by using an active learning principle to construct entity correspondences across systems. Specifically, for the purpose of maximizing knowledge transfer, we first iteratively select entities in the target system based on some criterion to query their correspondences in the source system. …”
