Multi-Step Forecasting of Chlorophyll Concentration with Multi-Attention Collaborative Network by Yingying Jin, Feng Zhang, Xia Wang, Lei Wang, Kuo Chen, Liangyu Chen, Yutao Qin, Ping Wu

“…Although existing methods for predicting chlorophyll concentration have achieved encouraging performance, there are still two limitations: (i) they primarily focus on the correlation between variables while ignoring negative noise from non-predictive variables and (ii) they are unable to distinguish the impact of chlorophyll from that of non-predictive variables on chlorophyll concentration at future time points. In order to overcome these obstacles, we propose a Multi-Attention Collaborative Network (MACN)-based triangle-structured prediction system. …”

“…In case of metastases, surgical excision can be performed considering extent of disease, number and type of distant lesions, disease free interval from the initial diagnosis to the time of metastases, and expected life span. We illustrate a case of uterine LMS metastasis in the upper buccal gingiva that occurred during chemotherapy in a 63-year-old woman that underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for a diagnosis of LMS staged as pT2bN0 and that developed lung metastases eight months after primary treatment. …”
