Investigating the key principles in two-step heterogeneous transfer learning for early laryngeal cancer identification by Xinyi Fang, Chak Fong Chong, Kei Long Wong, Marco Simões, Benjamin K. Ng

“…We observe that radial vascular patterns benefit benign classification, whereas twisted and tangled patterns align more with malignant classification. Additionally, to compensate for the absence of twisted patterns in the intermediate domains, we propose the Step-Wise Fine-Tuning (SWFT) technique, guided by the Layer Class Activate Map (LayerCAM) visualization result, getting 20.4% accuracy increases compared to accuracy from THTL’s, even higher than fine-tune all layers.…”

Quality Investing and Pricing Strategies by Startups: Impacts of Demand Uncertainties and Capital Constraint by Bing Xia, Richard Y. K. Fung, Ju'e Guo

“…Results illustrate that, under stochastic environment, the profit-seeking startup makes conservative (aggressive) investment on quality by setting lower (higher) price and investing in lower (higher) quality than the deterministic case, while the survival-seeking startup always sets its price linked to quality in positive direction. In addition, the profit-seeking startup always improves its investment on quality when either the mean or the variance of DRQ increase, while the survival-seeking startup reduces its investment when either the mean of DRQ increases to a certain level or the variance of DRQ increases. …”
