As some of you may know, I spent a gazillion years as a media/telecom analyst but have been strictly cyber for ten years now.
But TechTarget commissioned me to write a series of "pillar" pieces on 5G and here's the first.
Thanks to Tom Pace of NetRise, Jack Fritz of Deloitte and Dave Krauthamer of QuSecure for their insights.

A Fast and Precise Method for Searching Rectangular Tumor Regions in Brain MR Images
Purpose: To develop a fast and precise method for searching rectangular regions in brain tumor images. Methods: The authors propose a new method for searching rectangular tumor regions in brain MR images. The proposed method consisted of a segmentation network and a fast search method with a user-controllable search metric. As the segmentation network, the U-Net whose encoder was replaced by the EfficientNet was used. In the fast search method, summed-area tables were used for accelerating sums…

A Bilevel Approach to Integrated Surgeon Scheduling and Surgery Planning solved via Branch-and-Price
In this paper, we study a multi-agent scheduling problem for organising the operations within the operating room department. The head of the surgeon group and individual surgeons are together responsible for the surgeon schedule and surgical case planning. The surgeon head allocates time blocks to individual surgeons, whereas individual surgeons determine the planning of surgical cases independently, which might degrade the schedule quality envisaged by the surgeon head. The bilevel optimisatio…

Searching for Difficult-to-Translate Test Examples at Scale
NLP models require test data that are sufficiently challenging. The difficulty of an example is linked to the topic it originates from (''seed topic''). The relationship between the topic and the difficulty of its instances is stochastic in nature: an example about a difficult topic can happen to be easy, and vice versa. At the scale of the Internet, there are tens of thousands of potential topics, and finding the most difficult one by drawing and evaluating a large number of examples across al…
