• Comparison of computer systems and ranking criteria for automatic melanoma detection in dermoscopic images 

      Møllersen, Kajsa; Zortea, Maciel; Schopf, Thomas Roger Griesbeck; Kirchesch, Herbert M.; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-21)
      Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and early detection is crucial for patient survival. Computer systems can assist in melanoma detection, but are not widespread in clinical practice. In 2016, an open challenge in classification of dermoscopic images of skin lesions was announced. A training set of 900 images with corresponding class labels and semi-automatic/manual segmentation masks ...
    • Compatibility, multi-brackets and integrability of systems of PDEs 

      Kruglikov, Boris; Lychagin, Valentin V. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-20)
      We establish an efficient compatibility criterion for a system of generalized complete intersection type in terms of certain multi-brackets of differential operators. These multi-brackets generalize the higher Jacobi- Mayer brackets, important in the study of evolutionary equations and the integrability problem. We also calculate Spencer δ-cohomology of generalized complete intersections and ...
    • Comprehensive uncertainty estimation of the timing of Greenland warmings in the Greenland ice core records 

      Myrvoll-Nilsen, Eirik; Riechers, Keno; Rypdal, Martin Wibe; Boers, Niklas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-20)
      Paleoclimate proxy records have non-negligible uncertainties that arise from both the proxy measurement and the dating processes. Knowledge of the dating uncertainties is important for a rigorous propagation to further analyses, for example, for identification and dating of stadial– interstadial transitions in Greenland ice core records during glacial intervals, for comparing the variability in ...
    • Computer-aided decision support for melanoma detection applied on melanocytic and non-melanocytic skin lesions: a comparison of two systems based on automatic analysis of dermoscopic images 

      Møllersen, Kajsa; Kirchesch, Herbert M.; Zortea, Maciel; Schopf, Thomas Roger Griesbeck; Hindberg, Kristian; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Commercially available clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) for skin cancer have been designed for the detection of melanoma only. Correct use of the systems requires expert knowledge, hampering their utility for nonexperts. Furthermore, there are no systems to detect other common skin cancer types, that is, nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). As early diagnosis of skin cancer is essential, there ...

    • Condition Monitoring System for Internal Blowout Prevention (IBOP) in Top Drive Assembly System using Discrete Event Systems and Deep Learning Approaches 

      Noori, Nadia Saad; Waag, Tor Inge; Bianchi, Filippo Maria (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2020-07-19)
      <p>Offshore oil drilling is a complex process that requires careful coordination of hardware and control systems. Fault monitoring systems play an important role in such systems for safe and profitable operations. Thus, predictive maintenance and monitoring operating conditions of drilling systems are critical to the overall production cycle. In this paper, we are addressing the topic of condition ...
    • Conformal differential invariants 

      Kruglikov, Boris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-27)
      We compute the Hilbert polynomial and the Poincar´e function counting the number of fixed jet-order differential invariants of conformal metric structures modulo local diffeomorphisms, and we describe the field of rational differential invariants separating generic orbits of the diffeomorphism pseudogroup action. This resolves the local recognition problem for conformal structures.
    • Constraining two climate field reconstruction methodologies over the North Atlantic realm using pseudo-proxy experiments 

      Nilsen, Tine; Talento, Stefanie; Werner, Johannes P (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-06)
      This study presents pseudo-proxy experiments to quantify the reconstruction skill of two climate field reconstruction methodologies for a marine proxy network subject to age uncertainties. The BARCAST methodology (Bayesian Algorithm for Reconstructing Climate Anomalies in Space and Time) is tested for sea surface temperature (SST) reconstruction for the first time over the northern North Atlantic ...
    • Constructing a partially transparent computational boundary for UPPE using leaky modes 

      Juhász, Dávid; Jakobsen, Per Kristen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-19)
      In this paper, we introduce a method for creating a transparent computational boundary for the simulation of unidirectional propagation of optical beams and pulses using leaky modes. The key element of the method is the introduction of an artificial-index material outside a chosen computational domain and utilization of the quasi-normal modes associated with such artificial structure. The method is ...
    • Continuum mechanics of media with inner structures 

      Duyunova, Anna; Lychagin, Valentin; Tychkov, Sergey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)
      We propose a geometrical approach to the mechanics of continuous media equipped with inner structures and give the basic (Navier–Stokes, mass conservation and energy conservation) equations of their motion.
    • Control of Blood Glucose for Type-1 Diabetes by Using Reinforcement Learning with Feedforward Algorithm 

      Ngo, Phuong; Wei, Susan; Holubova, Anna; Muzik, Jan; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-30)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Type-1 diabetes is a condition caused by the lack of insulin hormone, which leads to an excessive increase in blood glucose level. The glucose kinetics process is difficult to control due to its complex and nonlinear nature and with state variables that are difficult to measure.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: This paper proposes a method for automatically calculating the basal and ...
    • Convergence and completeness for square-well Stark resonant state expansions 

      Juhász, David; Kolesik, Miro; Jakobsen, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-02)
      In this paper, we investigate the completeness of the Stark resonant states for a particle in a square-well potential. We find that the resonant state expansions for target functions converge inside the potential well and that the existence of this convergence does not depend on the depth of the potential well, <i>V</i><sub>0</sub>. By analyzing the asymptotic form of the terms in these expansions, ...
    • COPD in primary lung cancer patients: prevalence and mortality 

      Ytterstad, Elinor; Moe, Per Christian; Hjalmarsen, Audhild (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2016-03-23)
      Background: Previous studies have relied on international spirometry criteria to diagnose COPD in patients with lung cancer without considering the effect lung cancer might have on spirometric results. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of COPD and emphysema at the time of primary lung cancer diagnosis and to examine factors associated with survival. Materials and methods: Medical ...
    • Cosheaves 

      Prasolov, Andrei (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-21)
      The categories pCS(X,Pro(k)) of precosheaves and CS(X,Pro(k)) of cosheaves on a small Grothendieck site X, with values in the category Pro(k) of prok-modules, are constructed. It is proved that pCS(X,Pro(k)) satisfies the AB4 and AB5* axioms, while CS(X,Pro(k)) satisfies AB3 and AB5*. Homology theories for cosheaves and precosheaves, based on quasi-projective resolutions, are constructed and investigated.
    • Data-Driven Robust Control Using Reinforcement Learning 

      Ngo, Phuong; Tejedor Hernandez, Miguel Angel; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-21)
      This paper proposes a robust control design method using reinforcement learning for controlling partially-unknown dynamical systems under uncertain conditions. The method extends the optimal reinforcement learning algorithm with a new learning technique based on the robust control theory. By learning from the data, the algorithm proposes actions that guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system ...
    • De-identifying Swedish EHR text using public resources in the general domain 

      Chomutare, Taridzo; Yigzaw, Kassaye Yitbarek; Budrionis, Andrius; Makhlysheva, Alexandra; Godtliebsen, Fred; Dalianis, Hercules (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Sensitive data is normally required to develop rule-based or train machine learning-based models for de-identifying electronic health record (EHR) clinical notes; and this presents important problems for patient privacy. In this study, we add non-sensitive public datasets to EHR training data; (i) scientific medical text and (ii) Wikipedia word vectors. The data, all in Swedish, is used to train a ...
    • Decomposable (5, 6)-solutions in eleven-dimensional supergravity 

      Chi, Hanci; Chrysikos, Ioannis; Schneider, Eivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-08)
      We present decomposable (5, 6)-solutions M<sup>1,4</sup>×M<sup>6</sup> in eleven-dimensional supergravity by solving the bosonic supergravity equations for a variety of non-trivial flux forms. Many of the bosonic backgrounds presented here are induced by various types of null flux forms on products of certain totally Ricci-isotropic Lorentzian Walker manifolds and Ricci-flat Riemannian manifolds. ...
    • Deformation of big pseudoholomorphic disks and application to the Hanh pseudonorm 

      Kruglikov, Boris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2003-04-14)
      We simplify proof of the theorem that close to any pseudoholomorphic disk there passes a pseudoholomorphic disk of arbitrary close size with any pre-described sufficiently close direction. We apply these results to the Kobayashi and Hanh pseudodistances. It is shown they coincide in dimensions higher than four. The result is new even in the complex case.

    • Density ridge manifold traversal 

      Myhre, Jonas Nordhaug; Kampffmeyer, Michael C.; Jenssen, Robert (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017-06-19)
      The density ridge framework for estimating principal curves and surfaces has in a number of recent works been shown to capture manifold structure in data in an intuitive and effective manner. However, to date there exists no efficient way to traverse these manifolds as defined by density ridges. This is unfortunate, as manifold traversal is an important problem for example for shape estimation in ...
