Article Abstract

Purpose: To develop habitat and deep learning (DL) models from multi-phase contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) habitat images categorized using the K-means clustering algorithm. Additionally, we aim to assess the predictive value of identified regions for early evaluation of the responsiveness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients to treatment with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) plus molecular targeted therapies (MTT) and anti-PD-(L)1.

Methods: A total of 102 patients with HCC from two institutions (A, n = 63 and B, n = 39) who received TACE plus systemic therapy were enrolled from September 2020 to January 2024. Multiple CE-MRI sequences were used to outline 3D volumes of interest (VOI) of the lesion. Subsequently, K-means clustering was applied to categorize intratumoral voxels into three distinct subgroups, based on signal intensity values of images. Using data from institution A, the habitat model was built with the ExtraTrees classifier after extracting radiomics features from intratumoral habitats. Similarly, the Crossformer model and ResNet50 model were trained on multi-channel data in institution A, and a DL model with Transformer-based aggregation was constructed to predict the response. Finally, all models underwent validation at institution B.

Results: The Crossformer model and the habitat model both showed high area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of 0.869 and 0.877 (training cohort). In validation, AUC was 0.762 for the Crossformer model and 0.721 for the habitat model.

Conclusion: The habitat model and DL model based on CE-MRI possesses the capability to non-invasively predict the efficacy of TACE plus systemic therapy in HCC patients, which is critical for precision treatment and patient outcomes.

Pedestrian trajectory prediction is essential for autonomous driving systems, aiming to foresee pedestrian movements and improve safety by anticipating their future positions and paths. Traditional methods often fail to capture the full complexity of pedestrian behavior due to their limited ability to account for subtle gestures, environmental factors, and social interactions, which critically affect movement patterns. This lead to the system making incorrect predictions, potentially leading to unsafe driving decisions.

Sports event revenue prediction is a complex, multimodal task that requires effective integration of diverse data sources. Traditional models struggle to combine real-time data streams with historical time-series data, resulting in limited prediction accuracy. To address this challenge, we propose F-TransR, a Transformer-based multimodal revenue prediction model.

Background: Accurate detection of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is crucial for treatment planning. This study developed a deep learning model using dual-energy CT to improve LNM detection.

Methods: Preoperative dual-energy CT images (Iodine Map, Fat Map, monoenergetic 70 keV, and RHO/Z Map) and clinical data were collected from two centers.

Accurate blood glucose prediction can enable novel interventions for type 1 diabetes treatment including personalized insulin and dietary adjustments. Although recent advances in transformer-based architectures have demonstrated the power of attention mechanisms in complex multivariate time series prediction, their potential for blood glucose (BG) prediction remains underexplored. We present a comparative analysis of transformer models for multi-horizon BG prediction, examining forecasts up to 4 hours and input history up to 1 week.

Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning-based feature ensemble model using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting tumor budding (TB) grading in patients with rectal cancer (RC).

Methods: A retrospective cohort of 458 patients with pathologically confirmed rectal cancer (RC) from three institutions was included. Among them, 355 patients from Center 1 were divided into two groups at a 7:3 ratio: the training cohort (n = 248) and the internal validation cohort (n = 107).
