Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated that the high-order features (HOFs) of blood test data can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with different types of cancer. Although the majority of blood HOFs can be divided into inflammatory or nutritional markers, there are still numerous that have not been classified correctly, with the same feature being named differently. It is an urgent need to reclassify the blood HOFs and comprehensively assess their potential for cancer prognosis.
Methods: Initially, a review of existing literature was conducted to identify the high-order features (HOFs) and classify them based on their calculation method. Subsequently, a cohort of patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was established, and their clinical information prior to treatment was collected, including low-order features (LOFs) obtained from routine blood tests. The HOFs were then computed and their associations with clinical features were examined. Using the LOF and HOF data sets, a deep learning algorithm called DeepSurv was utilized to predict the prognostic risk values. The effectiveness of each data set's prediction was evaluated using the decision curve analysis (DCA). Finally, a prognostic model in the form of a nomogram was developed, and its accuracy was assessed using the calibration curve.
Results: From 1210 documents, over 160 blood HOFs were obtained, arranged into 110, and divided into three distinct categories: 76 proportional features, 6 composition features, and 28 scoring features. Correlation analysis did not reveal a strong association between blood features and clinical features; however, the risk value predicted by the DeepSurv LOF- and HOF-models is significantly linked to the stage. Results from DCA showed that the HOF model was superior to the LOF model in terms of prediction, and that the risk value predicted by the blood data model could be employed as a complementary factor to enhance the prognosis of patients. A nomograph was created with a C-index value of 0.74, which is capable of providing a reasonably accurate prediction of 1-year and 3-year overall survival for patients.
Conclusions: This research initially explored the categorization and nomenclature of blood HOF, and proved its potential in lung cancer prognosis.

In the complex process of gene expression and regulation, RNA-binding proteins occupy a pivotal position for RNA. Accurate prediction of RNA-protein binding sites can help researchers better understand RNA-binding proteins and their related mechanisms. And prediction techniques based on machine learning algorithms are both cost-effective and efficient in identifying these binding sites.

Due to the slender geometry and low-amplitude vibrations of stayed cables, existing vision-based methods often fail to accurately identify their full-field dynamic parameters, especially the higher-order modes. This paper proposes a novel holographic vision-based method to accurately identify the high-order full-field dynamic parameters and estimate the tension of the stayed cables. Particularly, a full-field optical flow tracking algorithm is proposed to obtain the full-field dynamic displacement information of the stayed cable by tracking the changes in the optical flow field of the continuous motion signal spectral components of holographic feature points.

In recommender systems research, the data sparsity problem has driven the development of hybrid recommendation algorithms integrating multimodal information and the application of graph neural networks (GNNs). However, conventional GNNs relying on homogeneous Euclidean embeddings fail to effectively model the non-Euclidean geometric manifold structures prevalent in real-world scenarios, consequently constraining the representation capacity for heterogeneous interaction patterns and compromising recommendation accuracy. As a consequence, the representation capability for heterogeneous interaction patterns is restricted, thereby affecting the overall representational power and recommendation accuracy of the models.

High-order correlations, which capture complex interactions among multiple entities, extend beyond traditional graph representations and support a wider range of applications. However, existing neural network models for high-order correlations encounter scalability issues on large datasets due to the substantial computational complexity involved in processing large-scale structures. In addition, long-tailed distributions, which are common in real-world data, result in underrepresented categories and hinder the model's ability to learn effective high-order interaction patterns for rare instances.
