    Abstract This study aims to develop a computational pathology approach that can properly detect and distinguish histology nuclei. This is crucial for histopathological image analysis, as it involves segmenting cell nuclei. However, challenges exist, such as determining the boundary region of normal and deformed nuclei and identifying small, irregular nuclei structures. Deep learning approaches are currently dominant in digital pathology for nucleus recognition and classification, but their complex features limit their practical use in clinical settings. The existing studies have limited accuracy, significant processing costs, and a lack of resilience and generalizability across diverse datasets. We… More >

    Abstract In convolutional neural networks, pooling methods are used to reduce both the size of the data and the number of parameters after the convolution of the models. These methods reduce the computational amount of convolutional neural networks, making the neural network more efficient. Maximum pooling, average pooling, and minimum pooling methods are generally used in convolutional neural networks. However, these pooling methods are not suitable for all datasets used in neural network applications. In this study, a new pooling approach to the literature is proposed to increase the efficiency and success rates of convolutional neural… More >

    Abstract Recent advancements in natural language processing have given rise to numerous pre-training language models in question-answering systems. However, with the constant evolution of algorithms, data, and computing power, the increasing size and complexity of these models have led to increased training costs and reduced efficiency. This study aims to minimize the inference time of such models while maintaining computational performance. It also proposes a novel Distillation model for PAL-BERT (DPAL-BERT), specifically, employs knowledge distillation, using the PAL-BERT model as the teacher model to train two student models: DPAL-BERT-Bi and DPAL-BERT-C.
