Resolvi: A Reference Architecture for Extensible, Scalable and Interoperable Entity Resolution (2025)

Context: Entity resolution (ER) plays a pivotal role in data management by determining whether multiple records correspond to the same real-world entity. Because of its critical importance across domains such as healthcare, finance, and machine learning and its long research history designing and implementing ER systems remains challenging in practice due to the wide…

Challenges in Software Metrics Adoption: Insights from Cluj-Napoca’s Development Community (2025)

Established research directions yield concrete outcomes on the benefits of using software metrics in software development processes, such as notable correlations between software metric values and various quality attributes of software systems or defect prediction. A discrepancy exists between academic proposals and actual practices used in software development, influenced by factors like budget constraints,…

PyResolveMetrics: A Standards-Compliant and Efficient Approach to Entity Resolution Metrics (2024)

Entity resolution, the process of discerning whether multiple data refer to the same real-world entity, is crucial across various domains, including education. Its quality assessment is vital due to the extensive practical applications in fields such as analytics, personalized learning or academic integrity. With Python emerging as the predominant programming language in these areas,…

Significance of Training Images and Feature Extraction in Lesion Classification (2024)

Proper treatment of breast cancer is essential to increase survival rates. Mammography is a widely used, non-invasive screening method for breast cancer. A challenging task in mammogram analysis is to distinguish between tumors. In the current study, we address this problem using different feature extraction and classification methods. In the literature, numerous feature extraction…

A Light, 3D UNet-based Architecture for Fully Automatic Segmentation of Prostate Lesions from T2-MRI Images. (2023)

INTRODUCTION Prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been recently integrated into the pathway of diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). However, the lack of an optimal contrast-to-noise ratio hinders automatic recognition of suspicious lesions, thus developing a solution for proper delimitation of the tumour and its separation from the healthy parenchyma, which is of primordial…

Fully automated bladder tumor segmentation from T2 MRI images using 3D U-Net algorithm (2023)

Introduction Bladder magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been recently integrated in the diagnosis pathway of bladder cancer. However, automatic recognition of suspicious lesions is still challenging. Thus, development of a solution for proper delimitation of the tumor and its separation from the healthy tissue is of primordial importance. As a solution to this unmet…

Generalizing an Improved GrowCut Algorithm for Mammography Lesion Detection (2023)

In the past five years, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancer is curable if it is discovered in early stages. Therefore, mammography screening is essential. But, since interpretation can prove difficult, various automated interpretation systems have been proposed so far. A crucial step of the interpretation process is segmentation: identifying…

Towards an Improved Unsupervised Graph-Based MRI Brain Segmentation Method (2023)

Brain disorders are becoming more prevalent, and accurate brain segmentation is a vital component of identifying the appropriate treatment. This study introduces an enhanced graph-based image segmentation technique. The node selection process involves creating an ellipsoid centered at the image’s center of mass. The proposed approach is evaluated using the NFBS dataset and demonstrates…

Linear Discriminant Analysis Tumour Classification for Unsupervised Segmented Mammographies (2023)

Between 2015 and 2020, 7.8 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer. If the cancer is discovered early, it can be completely cured. Computer-aided detection and diagnosis systems are a helpful tool. We propose such a system: after pre-processing the mammography, the region of interest is identified using an unsupervised manner. Textural features are…
