In current benchmarks for evaluating large language models (LLMs), there are issues such as evaluation content restriction, untimely updates, and lack of optimization guidance. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for the measurement of…
Machine learning has been widely adopted in biomedical research, fueled by the increasing availability of data. However, integrating datasets across institutions is challenging due to legal restrictions and data governance complexities.…
Data irregularity in cancer genomics studies has been widely observed in the form of outliers and heavy-tailed distributions in the complex traits. In the past decade, robust variable selection methods have emerged as powerful alternatives…
Previous deep learning approaches for survival analysis have primarily relied on ranking losses to improve discrimination performance, which often comes at the expense of calibration performance. To address such an issue, we propose a novel…
Vast quantities of person-generated health data (wearables) are collected but the process of annotating to feed to machine learning models is impractical. This paper discusses ways in which self-supervised approaches that use contrastive…
In the analysis of survival outcome supplemented with both clinical information and high-dimensional gene expression data, use of the traditional Cox proportional hazards model (1972) fails to meet some emerging needs in biomedical…
Survival prediction is a crucial task associated with cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. This paper presents a novel approach to survival prediction by harnessing comprehensive information from CT and PET scans, along with associated…
In Natural Language Processing (NLP), the Elo rating system, originally designed for ranking players in dynamic games such as chess, is increasingly being used to evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) through "A vs B" paired comparisons.…
This paper addresses patient heterogeneity associated with prediction problems in biomedical applications. We propose a systematic hypothesis testing approach to determine the existence of patient subgroup structure and the number of…
For medical image segmentation, contrastive learning is the dominant practice to improve the quality of visual representations by contrasting semantically similar and dissimilar pairs of samples. This is enabled by the observation that…
Assessing cancer progression in liver CT scans is a clinical challenge, requiring a comparison of scans at different times for the same patient. Practitioners must identify existing tumors, compare them with prior exams, identify new…
In medical imaging, organ/pathology segmentation models trained on current publicly available and fully-annotated datasets usually do not well-represent the heterogeneous modalities, phases, pathologies, and clinical scenarios encountered…
Lengthy subject- or session-specific data acquisition and calibration remain a key barrier to deploying electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) outside the laboratory. Previous work has shown that cross subject,…
The widespread adoption of electronic health records has created new opportunities for translational clinical research, yet this promise remains constrained by fragmented data across privacy-siloed institutions and substantial heterogeneity…
The growing use of model-selection principles in ecology for statistical inference is underpinned by information criteria (IC) and cross-validation (CV) techniques. Although IC techniques, such as Akaike's Information Criterion, have been…
This work is motivated by multimodality breast cancer imaging data, which is quite challenging in that the signals of discrete tumor-associated microvesicles (TMVs) are randomly distributed with heterogeneous patterns. This imposes a…
Leave-one-out (LOO) prediction provides a principled, data-dependent measure of generalization, yet guarantees in fully transductive settings remain poorly understood beyond specialized models. We introduce Median of Level-Set Aggregation…
Biomedical challenges have become the de facto standard for benchmarking biomedical image analysis algorithms. While the number of challenges is steadily increasing, surprisingly little effort has been invested in ensuring high quality…
The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of the ROC curve are widely used to compare the performance of diagnostic and prognostic assays. The ROC curve has the advantage that it is independent of…
The future predictive performance of a Bayesian model can be estimated using Bayesian cross-validation. In this article, we consider Gaussian latent variable models where the integration over the latent values is approximated using the…
