    Abstract High-dimensional and incomplete (HDI) data are frequently encountered in big date-related applications for describing restricted observed interactions among large node sets. How to perform accurate and efficient representation learning on such HDI data is a hot yet thorny issue. A latent factor (LF) model has proven to be efficient in addressing it. However, the objective function of an LF model is nonconvex. Commonly adopted first-order methods cannot approach its second-order stationary point, thereby resulting in accuracy loss. On the other hand, traditional second-order methods are impractical for LF models since they suffer from high computational costs due to the required operations on the objective's huge Hessian matrix. In order to address this issue, this study proposes a generalized Nesterov-accelerated second-order LF (GNSLF) model that integrates twofold conceptions: 1) acquiring proper second-order step efficiently by adopting a Hessian-vector algorithm and 2) embedding the second-order step into a generalized Nesterov's acceleration (GNA) method for speeding up its linear search process. The analysis focuses on the local convergence for GNSLF's nonconvex cost function instead of the global convergence has been taken; its local convergence properties have been provided with theoretical proofs. Experimental results on six HDI data cases demonstrate that GNSLF performs better than state-of-the-art LF models in accuracy for missing data estimation with high efficiency, i.e., a second-order model can be accelerated by incorporating GNA without accuracy loss.

    Abstract Event cameras are neuromorphic sensors that capture asynchronous and sparse event stream when per-pixel brightness changes. The state-of-the-art processing methods for event signals typically aggregate events into a frame or a grid. However, events are dense in time, these works are limited to local information of events due to the stacking. In this paper, we present a novel spatiotemporal representation learning method which can capture the global correlations of all events in the event stream simultaneously by tensor decomposition. In addition, with the events are sparse in space, we propose an Elastic Net-incorporated tensor network (ENTN) model to obtain more spatial and temporal details about event stream. Empirically, the results indicate that our method can represent the spatiotemporal correlation of events with high quality, and can achieve effective results in applications like filtering noise compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

    Abstract Abstract Lateral wedge insole (LWI) is a frequently recommended treatment option for early and midterm stages of medial knee osteoarthritis. However, studies of its effects on the lower limb joints are incomplete and imperfect. The main purpose of this study was to quantitatively analyze the response of intervention of LWI on lower-limb joint kinematics, ground reaction forces (GRFs), and centre of pressure (COP). Gait analysis of 16 healthy subjects was conducted. Three-dimensional motion data and force plate measurements were collected in the control (barefoot) and experimental conditions (wearing a pair of assigned shoes with 0, 7, and 10 mm LWIs). Results showed that the peak knee flexion angle was increased by 3.43°, 3.09°, and 3.27° with 0, 7, and 10 mm LWIs, respectively (p < 0.01). The ankle peak dorsiflexion angle was significantly decreased by 3.79°, 2.19°, and 1.66° with 0, 7, and 10 mm LWIs, respectively (p = 0.02). The internal rotation angle was increased by 2.78°, 3.76°, and 4.58° with 0, 7, and 10 mm LWIs, respectively (p < 0.01). The forefoot with LWIs showed highly significantly smaller inversion, eversion, and adduction angles (all p < 0.01). The 1st peak of the vertical GRF (p = 0.016) also increased significantly by a maximum of 0.06 body weight (BW) with LWIs. These results indicated that biomechanical changes and limitations of lateral wedges insole should be analyzed in more detail, possibly leading to new guidelines for the design and application.

    Abstract Background: Studies have shown mixed results concerning the role of primary tumor volume (TV) and metastatic lymph node (NV) volume in response to the curative effect of definitive radiotherapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC).
    Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of TV and NV on the efficacy of radical radiotherapy in LAHNSCC patients, with the goal of guiding individualized therapy.
    Patients and methods: Patients with LAHNSCC who received radical radiation therapy and were reexamined within 6 months post-therapy from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected. The volumes of the primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes were calculated by software and then were divided into a large TV group vs small TV group and a large NV group vs small NV group according to the relationship with the median. Additionally, patients who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or not were divided into the CCRT group and the radiotherapy (RT) group. Patients with lymph node metastasis were divided into node concurrent chemotherapy (N-CCRT) group and a node metastatic chemotherapy (N-RT) group according to whether they received concurrent chemotherapy or not. The volume shrinkage rate (VSR), objective response rate (ORR), local control rate (LCR) and overall survival (OS) were recorded and analyzed.
    Results: 96 patients were included in the primary tumor volume group, and 73 patients were included in the metastatic lymph node group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed for objective remission (OR) endpoints, and a volume threshold was defined for TV and NV patients. The threshold primary tumor volume was 32.45 cm
    Conclusion: Primary tumor volume is not a prognostic factor for the response to curative effect radiotherapy in LAHNSCC patients. Nevertheless, metastatic lymph nodes are a prognostic factor for the response to curative effect radiotherapy in LAHNSCC patients. Patients with smaller lymph nodes have better local control.

    Abstract We present ViPRA-Haplo, a de novo strain-specific assembly workflow for reconstructing viral haplotypes in a viral population from paired-end next generation sequencing (NGS) data. The proposed Viral Path Reconstruction Algorithm (ViPRA) generates a subset of paths from a De Bruijn graph of reads using the pairing information of reads. The paths generated by ViPRA are an over-estimation of the true contigs. We propose two refinement methods to obtain an optimal set of contigs representing viral haplotypes. The first method clusters paths reconstructed by ViPRA using VSEARCH [1] based on sequence similarity, while the second method, MLEHaplo, generates a maximum likelihood estimate of viral populations. We evaluated our pipeline on both simulated and real viral quasispecies data from HIV (and real data from SARS-COV-2). Experimental results show that ViPRA-Haplo, although still an overestimation in the number of true contigs, outperforms the existing tool, PEHaplo, providing up to 9% better genome coverage on HIV real data. In addition, ViPRA-Haplo also retains higher diversity of the viral population as demonstrated by the presence of a higher percentage of contigs less than 1000 base pairs (bps), which also contain k-mers with counts less than 100 (representing rarer sequences), which are absent in PEHaplo. For SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data, ViPRA-Haplo reconstructs contigs that cover more than 90% of the reference genome and were able to validate known SARS-CoV-2 strains in the sequencing data.
