There has been increasing interest in modeling survival data using deep learning methods in medical research. In this paper, we proposed a Bayesian hierarchical deep neural networks model for modeling and prediction of survival data. Compared with previously studied methods, the new proposal can provide not only point estimate of survival probability but also quantification of the corresponding uncertainty, which can be of crucial importance in predictive modeling and subsequent decision making. The favorable statistical properties of point and uncertainty estimates were demonstrated by simulation studies and real data analysis. The Python code implementing the proposed approach was provided.

Differential networks (DN) are important tools for modeling the changes in conditional dependencies between multiple samples. A Bayesian approach for estimating DNs, from the classical viewpoint, is introduced with a computationally efficient thresho ld selection for graphical model determination. The algorithm separately estimates the precision matrices of the DN using the Bayesian adaptive graphical lasso procedure. Synthetic experiments illustrate that the Bayesian DN performs exceptionally well in numerical accuracy and graphical structure determination in comparison to state-of-the-art methods. The proposed method is applied to South African COVID-$19$ data to investigate the change in DN structure between various phases of the pandemic.
Bayesian optimization is an effective methodology for the global optimization of functions with expensive evaluations. It relies on querying a distribution over functions defined by a relatively cheap surrogate model. An accurate model for this distr ibution over functions is critical to the effectiveness of the approach, and is typically fit using Gaussian processes (GPs). However, since GPs scale cubically with the number of observations, it has been challenging to handle objectives whose optimization requires many evaluations, and as such, massively parallelizing the optimization. In this work, we explore the use of neural networks as an alternative to GPs to model distributions over functions. We show that performing adaptive basis function regression with a neural network as the parametric form performs competitively with state-of-the-art GP-based approaches, but scales linearly with the number of data rather than cubically. This allows us to achieve a previously intractable degree of parallelism, which we apply to large scale hyperparameter optimization, rapidly finding competitive models on benchmark object recognition tasks using convolutional networks, and image caption generation using neural language models.
Recent advances in acquisition equipment is providing experiments with growing amounts of precise yet affordable sensors. At the same time an improved computational power, coming from new hardware resources (GPU, FPGA, ACAP), has been made available at relatively low costs. This led us to explore the possibility of completely renewing the chain of acquisition for a fusion experiment, where many high-rate sources of data, coming from different diagnostics, can be combined in a wide framework of algorithms. If on one hand adding new data sources with different diagnostics enriches our knowledge about physical aspects, on the other hand the dimensions of the overall model grow, making relations among variables more and more opaque. A new approach for the integration of such heterogeneous diagnostics, based on composition of deep variational autoencoders, could ease this problem, acting as a structural sparse regularizer. This has been applied to RFX-mod experiment data, integrating the soft X-ray linear images of plasma temperature with the magnetic state. However to ensure a real-time signal analysis, those algorithmic techniques must be adapted to run in well suited hardware. In particular it is shown that, attempting a quantization of neurons transfer functions, such models can be modified to create an embedded firmware. This firmware, approximating the deep inference model to a set of simple operations, fits well with the simple logic units that are largely abundant in FPGAs. This is the key factor that permits the use of affordable hardware with complex deep neural topology and operates them in real-time.
We propose a novel Bayesian neural network architecture that can learn invariances from data alone by inferring a posterior distribution over different weight-sharing schemes. We show that our model outperforms other non-invariant architectures, when trained on datasets that contain specific invariances. The same holds true when no data augmentation is performed.
For many applications in the field of computer assisted surgery, such as providing the position of a tumor, specifying the most probable tool required next by the surgeon or determining the remaining duration of surgery, methods for surgical workflow analysis are a prerequisite. Often machine learning based approaches serve as basis for surgical workflow analysis. In general machine learning algorithms, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), require large amounts of labeled data. While data is often available in abundance, many tasks in surgical workflow analysis need data annotated by domain experts, making it difficult to obtain a sufficient amount of annotations. The aim of using active learning to train a machine learning model is to reduce the annotation effort. Active learning methods determine which unlabeled data points would provide the most information according to some metric, such as prediction uncertainty. Experts will then be asked to only annotate these data points. The model is then retrained with the new data and used to select further data for annotation. Recently, active learning has been applied to CNN by means of Deep Bayesian Networks (DBN). These networks make it possible to assign uncertainties to predictions. In this paper, we present a DBN-based active learning approach adapted for image-based surgical workflow analysis task. Furthermore, by using a recurrent architecture, we extend this network to video-based surgical workflow analysis. We evaluate these approaches on the Cholec80 dataset by performing instrument presence detection and surgical phase segmentation. Here we are able to show that using a DBN-based active learning approach for selecting what data points to annotate next outperforms a baseline based on randomly selecting data points.
