      The interest in video anomaly detection systems that can detect different types of anomalies, such as violent behaviours in surveillance videos, has gained traction in recent years. The current approaches employ deep learning to perform anomaly detection in videos, but this approach has multiple problems. For example, deep learning in general has issues with noise, concept drift, explainability, ...
    • Considerations regarding carotid artery dose in radiotherapy of the cervical spine 

      Nieder, Carsten; Grant, David McKenzie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-08)
      Radiation to the carotid arteries, e.g. in the context of head and neck cancer treatment, is one of several risk factors for artery stenosis. In principle, this fact may also have implications for stereotactic cervical spine radiotherapy, because long-term survival can be achieved in patients with oligometastatic disease and favorable prognostic features. Here, we suggest that radiation dose ...

    • Independent Validation of a Unifying Prognostic Model for Intracranial and Extracranial Metastasis-directed Radiotherapy 

      Nieder, Carsten; Stanisavljevic, Luka; Mannsåker, Bård; Haukland, Ellinor Christin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-06)
      We present the first calculations of the heavy flavor diffusion coefficient using lattice QCD with light dynamical quarks corresponding to a pion mass of around 320 MeV. For temperatures 195 MeV <T< 352 MeV, the heavy quark spatial diffusion coefficient is found to be significantly smaller than previous quenched lattice QCD and recent phenomenological estimates. The result implies very fast ...
