Breast cancer is a leading cause of death in women worldwide, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed to assist doctors in identifying breast cancer on ultrasound images. In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy relative-position-coding (FRPC) Transformer to classify breast ultrasound (BUS) images for breast cancer diagnosis. The proposed FRPC Transformer utilizes the self-attention mechanism of Transformer networks combined with fuzzy relative-position-coding to capture global and local features of the BUS images. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated on one benchmark dataset and compared with those obtained by …

On The Geodesic Centers Of Polygonal Domains, Haitao Wang

Computer Science Faculty and Staff Publications

In this paper, we study the problem of computing Euclidean geodesic centers of a polygonal domain P of n vertices. We give a necessary condition for a point being a geodesic center. We show that there is at most one geodesic center among all points of P that have topologically-equivalent shortest path maps. This implies that the total number of geodesic centers is bounded by the size of the shortest path map equivalence decomposition of P, which is known to be O(n^{10}). One key observation is a pi-range property on shortest path lengths when points are moving. With these observations, …

Ε-Kernel Coresets For Stochastic Points, Haitao Wang, Lingxiao Huang, Jian Li, Jeff Mark Phillips

With the dramatic growth in the number of application domains that generate probabilistic, noisy and uncertain data, there has been an increasing interest in designing algorithms for geometric or combinatorial optimization problems over such data. In this paper, we initiate the study of constructing epsilon-kernel coresets for uncertain points. We consider uncertainty in the existential model where each point's location is fixed but only occurs with a certain probability, and the locational model where each point has a probability distribution describing its location. An epsilon-kernel coreset approximates the width of a point set in any direction. We consider approximating the …
