Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”

Toward Adaptive Unsupervised and Blind Image Forgery Localization with ViT-VAE and a Gaussian Mixture Model by Haichang Yin, KinTak U, Jing Wang, Wuyue Ma

“…Despite their success, there are still some limitations: (1) A simple Gaussian distribution assumption in the latent space constrains performance due to the diverse distribution of forged images. (2) Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) introduce non-convex log-sum-exp functions in the Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence term, leading to gradient instability and convergence issues during training. (3) Estimating GMM mixing coefficients typically involves either the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm before VAE training or a multilayer perceptron (MLP), both of which increase computational complexity. …”
