Nonetheless, it is still open to guarantee that the convergence, stability and privacy properties of such systems are mathematically rigorous. In this paper, a functional-analytic, nonlinear-optimization system of federated cross-platform image computation is developed in which local image modalities, and global learning goals are posed as nonlinear variational problems, with local image modalities modelled as an element of separable Hilbert spaces. We present a Nonlinear Federated Proximal Operator (NFPO) that provides a privacy limiting functionality by a dual functional mechanism. We prove existence and uniqueness results of the global minimizer in the presence of coercivity and strong monotonicity, convergence of the NFPO in a contractive mapping argument, and test the framework on synthetic multimodal image datasets given across a plurality of virtual platforms. Numerical experiments show that the proposed approach provides better privacy guarantees with the competitive reconstruction and classification performance. This paper introduces a mathematical based theoretical foundation of a privacy-<br>conserving federated image computation to cross-platform and multi-modal imaging systems.</p> Janarthanam S, Raja Sarath Kumar Boddu, B.

Proper forecasting of disease in order to intervene early and plan therapy is crucial. The current research will develop a hybrid modelling system that combines machine learning with nonlinear differential equations to predict the development of osteoporosis through longitudinal bone density imaging. A model of nonlinear bone remodelling is derived based on the coupled system of osteoclast and osteoblast functions, the parameters of the resorption and formation process are adaptively determined with the help of machine learning. External inputs include imaging biomarkers of DXA, QCT and HR-pQCT scans which are used to calibrate<br>patient-specific remodelling behaviour. It is also extended to a neural differential equation module that is designed to improve the faithfulness of prediction by learning nonlinearities of higher-order that are not modelled by classical physiology-based equations. On of the longitudinal bone imaging dataset, experiments show that the hybrid model has a high prediction accuracy, which decreases<br>the mean absolute BMD error by 23% relative to standalone ML models and 31 relative to classical ODE models. Noise, missing modalities and variation in the follow-up interval The robustness testing demonstrates that there is negligible predictive power loss with robustness testing. These results imply the possibility of the machine-learning-enhanced nonlinear models yielding predictions on osteoporosis progression that could be used in practise.</p> K.

Conventional empirical evaluation techniques are inadequate in the description of nonlinear relationships of physicochemical parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate concentration, and conductivity). This paper hypothesizes a streamlined hybrid machine learning model, which combines Support Vector Machines (SVM) with Random Forest (RF) with nonlinear functional analysis to add predictive accuracy. The model uses nonlinear mapping of kernels, ranking of the importance of variables and functional decomposition to approximate interactions involving complex parameters. It also introduces a multi-stage optimization process that incorporates grid search and cross-validation with nonlinear functional transformation in order to find the best hyperparameters to use in SVM and RF models. Multiyear datasets (collected at freshwater sources) were experimented, and it was found that predictive accuracy improved significantly, with the hybrid model showing that the RMSE was 14.2% lower, and the Pearson correlation coefficient was 9.1 times higher than baseline ML models. The analysis of feature sensitivity and functional interaction demonstrates that nutrient load and dissolved oxygen have a strong nonlinear relationship, which confirms the potential of the proposed framework to represent the ecological relationships. These results indicate that nonlinear functional analysis can allow more consistent and interpretable machine learning models to predict water quality to support the environmental monitoring system in a sustainable way.</p> G.
