A Pathology report is arguably one of the most important documents in medicine containing interpretive information about the visual findings from the patient's biopsy sample. Each pathology report has a retention period of up to 20 years after the treatment of a patient. Cancer registries process and encode high volume…

For test configurations, the Donaldson-Futaki invariant F_1 is well-known. In this note, its refinement will be discussed. Then we see that Li-Xu's pathology doesn't occur, since their example of a non-normal test configuration, with trivial normalization, actually has non-vanishing F_1 in this refined sense.

Pseudo healthy synthesis, i.e. the creation of a subject-specific `healthy' image from a pathological one, could be helpful in tasks such as anomaly detection, understanding changes induced by pathology and disease or even as data augmentation. We treat this task as a factor decomposition problem: we aim to separate wh…
