Joint replacement is the most common inpatient surgical treatment in the US. We investigate the clinical pathway optimization for knee replacement, which is a sequential decision process from onset to recovery. Based on episodic claims from…
Liver transplantation continues to be the gold standard for treating patients with end-stage liver diseases. However, despite the huge success of liver transplantation in improving patient outcomes, long term graft survival continues to be…
Mutual exclusion is one of the most commonly used techniques to handle contention in concurrent systems. Traditionally, mutual exclusion algorithms have been designed under the assumption that a process does not fail while…
Adapters have become a widely adopted strategy for efficient fine-tuning of large pretrained models, particularly in resource-constrained settings. However, their performance under extreme data scarcity, common in medical imaging due to…
Planning problems are hard, motion planning, for example, isPSPACE-hard. Such problems are even more difficult in the presence of uncertainty. Although, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) provide a formal framework for such problems, finding…
Incurable diseases continue to pose major challenges to global healthcare systems, with their prevalence shaped by lifestyle, economic, social, and genetic factors. Among these, kidney disease remains a critical global health issue,…
Knowledge Graph Embedding (KGE) is a common approach for Knowledge Graphs (KGs) in AI tasks. Embedding dimensions depend on application scenarios. Requiring a new dimension means training a new KGE model from scratch, increasing cost and…
We consider regularized cutting-plane methods to minimize a convex function that is the sum of a large number of component functions. One important example is the dual problem obtained from Lagrangian relaxation on a decomposable problem.…
We propose a scheme for performing quantum key distribution (QKD) which has the potential to beat schemes based on the direct transmission of photons between the communicating parties. In our proposal, the communicating parties exchange…
Period-prevalent cohorts are often used for their cost-saving potential in epidemiological studies of survival outcomes. Under this design, prevalent patients allow for evaluations of long-term survival outcomes without the need for long…
In this paper, we propose a robust optimization-based heuristic algorithm for the chance-constrained binary knapsack problem (CKP). We assume that the weights of items are independent normally distributed. By utilizing the properties of the…
In this paper, we show that the optimal receive antenna subset selection problem for maximizing the mutual information in a point-to-point MIMO system is sub-modular. Consequently, a greedy step-wise optimization approach, where at each…
Scarcity of health care resources could result in the unavoidable consequence of rationing. For example, ventilators are often limited in supply, especially during public health emergencies or in resource-constrained health care settings,…
The segmentation of kidney layer structures, including cortex, outer stripe, inner stripe, and inner medulla within human kidney whole slide images (WSI) plays an essential role in automated image analysis in renal pathology. However, the…
Renal structure segmentation from computed tomography angiography~(CTA) is essential for many computer-assisted renal cancer treatment applications. Kidney PArsing~(KiPA 2022) Challenge aims to build a fine-grained multi-structure dataset…
This paper proposes an algorithm to efficiently solve multistage stochastic programs with block separable recourse where each recourse problem is a multistage stochastic program with stage-wise independent uncertainty. The algorithm first…
Networks are essential for analyzing complex systems. However, their growing size necessitates backbone extraction techniques aimed at reducing their size while retaining critical features. In practice, selecting, implementing, and…
For scalar maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, the conventional repair schemes that achieve the cut-set bound with equality for the single-node repair have been proven to require a super-exponential sub-packetization level.As is well…
Cutting planes (cuts) are crucial for solving Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problems. Advanced MILP solvers typically rely on manually designed heuristic algorithms for cut selection, which require much expert experience and…
We study a setting where a set of agents engage in pairwise exchanges of freely replicable goods (e.g., digital goods such as data), where two agents grant each other a copy of a good they possess in exchange for a good they lack. Such…
