Using Monotonicity-Constrained Deep Geometric Learning to Predict Alzheimer’s Disease Progression Background Introduction Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder that gradually leads to irreversible cognitive decline, eventually resulting in dementia. Early identification and progression prediction of this disease are c...

Background Introduction Over the long term, normative and descriptive models have been trying to explain and predict human decision-making behavior in the face of risk choices such as products or gambling. A recent study discovered a more accurate human decision model by training Neural Networks (NNs) on a new large-scale online dataset called choi...

Differentiating Visual and Semantic Information in Human Perception and Memory Using Deep Neural Networks Introduction In cognitive science, the study of how humans recognize individuals and objects during perception and memory processes has long been of interest. Successful recognition of people and objects relies on matching representations gener...

Background Introduction Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) is a type of malignant disease that is confirmed to be metastatic through histopathology but whose primary site cannot be identified using conventional baseline diagnostic methods. CUP presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in clinical practice and is believed to account fo...
