Pathology data, primarily consisting of slides and diagnostic reports, inherently contain knowledge pivotal for advancing data-driven biomedical research and clinical practice. However, the hidden and fragmented nature of this knowledge across various data modalities not only hinders its computational utilization but also impedes the effective integration of AI technologies in the domain of pathology. To systematically organize pathology knowledge for computational use, we propose PathoGraph, a representation method capable of comprehensively and structurally capturing multi-scale disease characteristics alongside pathologists’ expertise in a graph-based format. Furthermore, by leveraging existing pathology image recognition techniques, we achieved large-scale automated construction of PathoGraph, applied it to enhance the performance of downstream deep learning models, and presented two illustrative use cases that highlight its clinical potential. Collectively, we believe our efforts lay a critical foundation for constructing pathology knowledge graphs, thereby advancing AI-driven pathology practice.

There is a popular misconception that patenting software innovations is prohibited in the United States. There is also a mistaken belief that "software patents" are unenforceable. This Software Patent Presentation, as presented by Benjamin Edlavitch of Edlavitch Law PLLC, will debunk these myths and provide practical approaches to procuring patents on software innovations as well as enforcing, defending, and monetizing such patents. Ben is a USPTO registered patent attorney with unique technical backgrounds in the life sciences, software, and electrical and computer engineering. Also, with over 27 years of experience in the IT industry (8+ years as a software developer and 19+ years as an IP law specialist), Ben advises clients on complex commercial agreements and technology licenses. This includes counseling clients on open source software issues and other legal concerns associated with computing and e-commerce.

[]23 March 1912: Wernher Von Braun is born. He was a German-born American aerospace engineer and space architect, and initially worked in Nazi Germany's rocket development program as a young man. After World War II, he moved to the United States where he became a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the nation. In his later career, he became director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center. AFTER the documentary - we can have a brief discussion session.

In 2025 we will offer ‘Officer Training’ to our ‘newly’ elected AND veteran officers and volunteers; as well as any IEEE member, at any grade level or position. Our wish is to help all gain a fuller awareness of the communication and management skills used within the IEEE, how they function and how to employ them both as IEEE officers, and in your everyday work and life. Classes: As an introduction to these skills, we will offer a set of IN PERSON classes supported by study materials available through the (https://r4.ieee.org/sem/) and the (https://ieee.learningpool.com/) The virtual classes will begin in the 1st week of MARCH 2025 and conclude end of MARCH. Each class will be conducted as an overview of the topic ‘de jour’ and a discussion or Q&A session to answer questions and clarify issues. (See the agenda below:) Note: Space for these classes is not like outer space, it is limited, so you must register to receive the necessary codes and passwords to attend.
