    Glueability of Resource Proof-Structures: Inverting the Taylor Expansion

    Get PDF
    A Multiplicative-Exponential Linear Logic (MELL) proof-structure can be expanded into a set of resource proof-structures: its Taylor expansion. We introduce a new criterion characterizing those sets of resource proof-structures that are part of the Taylor expansion of some MELL proof-structure, through a rewriting system acting both on resource and MELL proof-structures

    Machine learning approach for segmenting glands in colon histology images using local intensity and texture features

    Colon Cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. The treatment is planned to depend on the grade or stage of cancer. One of the preconditions for grading of colon cancer is to segment the glandular structures of tissues. Manual segmentation method is very time-consuming, and it leads to life risk for the patients. The principal objective of this project is to assist the pathologist to accurate detection of colon cancer. In this paper, the authors have proposed an algorithm for an automatic segmentation of glands in colon histology using local intensity and texture features. Here the dataset images are cropped into patches with different window sizes and taken the intensity of those patches, and also calculated texture-based features. Random forest classifier has been used to classify this patch into different labels. A multilevel random forest technique in a hierarchical way is proposed. This solution is fast, accurate and it is very much applicable in a clinical setup

    Computing a Minimum-Cost k-Hop Steiner Tree in Tree-Like Metrics

    We consider the problem of computing a Steiner tree of minimum cost under a k-hop constraint which requires the depth of the tree to be at most k. Our main result is an exact algorithm for metrics induced by graphs of bounded treewidth that runs in time n^O(k). For the special case of a path, we give a simple algorithm that solves the problem in polynomial time, even if k is part of the input. The main result can be used to obtain, in quasi-polynomial time, a near-optimal solution that violates the k-hop constraint by at most one hop for more general metrics induced by graphs of bounded highway dimension and bounded doubling dimension

    The main scientific heritage of Corrado B\"ohm consists of ideas about computing, concerning concrete algorithms, as well as models of computability. The following will be presented. 1. A compiler that can compile itself. 2. Structured programming, eliminating the 'goto' statement. 3. Functional programming and an early implementation. 4. Separability in {\lambda}-calculus. 5. Compiling combinators without parsing. 6. Self-evaluation in {\lambda}-calculus
