Due to the tremendous increase in the amount of digital data, effective large scale data classification is playing an increasingly important role. In active learning algorithms a “classifier” is used to classify the unlabeled data. To ensure reliable performance of the classifier, it must be trained using a number of labeled examples, or the classifier’s...

Development and refinement of surgical skills of novice surgeons is critical and time consuming processes. Demand for better performance and accountability has resulted in shifting the focus of training from subjective to objective evaluation. Modern surgeon training techniques are moving towards a ‘hands-on’ approach and eliminating the process...

Nanotechnology is the study of the control of matter at the atomic and molecular level, and is focused mainly on the creation of materials and equipment to work within that scale. One thing holding back the advancement of this technology is the lack of experimental tools capable of visualizing nanoprocesses in real time across their full range of...
