Path Tracking In Ultrasound System for Device Tracking
5 Feb 20
A method for determining a projected track of an object (230) includes measuring movement from frame to frame of a detected object point in a field of view by periodic comparison of positions, extrapolating a locus of periodically detected object points, and qualifying the locus by calculating and applying a threshold to the linearity in a sequence of positions and a threshold to consistency in strength.

Unsupervised Text Simplification Using Autoencoders with a Constrained Decoder
5 Feb 20
A method of producing an unsupervised constrained text simplification autoencoder including an encoder and a constrained decoder, including: encoding, by the encoder, input text to produce a code; combining a complexity parameter with the code; decoding, by constrained decoder, the combined code to produce a plurality of outputs, wherein the constrained decoder uses a dropout function to randomize the parameters of the constrained decoder; evaluating a loss function for each of the plurality of outputs, wherein the loss function is based upon the complexity parameter, indicates an achieved text simplification level, and produces an output indicating the difference between the achieved text simplification level and a desired text simplification level; and optimizing the constrained text simplification autoencoder by repeatedly evaluating the loss function for each input text in an input text training data set while varying parameters of the encoder, the parameters of the constrained decoder, and the complexity parameter until the output of the loss function is minimized.

Device and Method for Modelling a Composition of an Object of Interest
5 Feb 20
The present invention relates to a method (100) for modelling a composition of an object of interest, the method comprising the following steps: a) segmenting (101) object of interest image data provided by computer tomography image data resulting in a plurality of image segments; b) extracting (102) a determined Hounsfield density value from the object of interest image data for each image segment; c) defining (104) a component ratio of at least two component classes for the object of interest, the at least two component classes having different component Hounsfield density values; d) assigning (105) at least one component class to each image segment based on the corresponding determined Hounsfield density value resulting in simulated image segments comprising the component Hounsfield density values, the simulated image segments defining simulated image data of the object of interest; wherein a ratio of the assigned component classes corresponds to the component ratio; e) determining (107) a deviation between the simulated image data and the object of interest image data; and f) repeating (108) steps c) to e) with varied component ratios until the deviation corresponds to a predefined minimum deviation resulting in a final component ratio.
