Learning endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can be challenging as the technology combines disciplines of flexible endoscopy and diagnostic radiology. In early days evolution, radiographers performed EUS independently taught gastroenterologists basic principles ultrasound. Lok Tio developed first learning tool—an atlas EUS—by correlating images with computed tomography, surgery, pathology. Robert Hawes...

The fundamental result of Li, Long, and Srinivasan [14] on approximations set systems has become a key tool across several communities such as learning theory, algorithms, computational geometry, combinatorics, data analysis. goal this paper is to give modular, self-contained, intuitive proof for finite systems. only ingredient we assume the standard Chernoff's concentration bound. This makes a...

Is spliced-leader (SL) trans-splicing an ancestral eukaryotic characteristic that has been lost in multiple lineages, or did it arise independently in the various phyla in which it occurs? Recent studies have discovered SL trans-splicing in new metazoan phyla, including the chordates. Its discovery in chordates identifies, for the first time, a phylum that clearly contains both trans-splicing a...

We introduce a novel neural easy-first decoder that learns to solve sequence tagging tasks in a flexible order. In contrast to previous easy-first decoders, our models are end-to-end differentiable. The decoder iteratively updates a “sketch” of the predictions over the sequence. At its core is an attention mechanism that controls which parts of the input are strategically the best to process ne...
