  Deep learning-based automated image analysis (DL-AIA) has been shown to outperform trained pathologists in tasks related to feature quantification. Related to these capabilities, the use of DL-AIA tools is currently extending from proof-of-principle studies to routine applications, including the evaluation of patient samples (diagnostic pathology), regulatory safety assessment (toxicologic pathology), and recurrent research tasks. To ensure that DL-AIA applications are safe and reliable, it is critical to conduct a thorough and objective generalization performance assessment to evaluate an algorithm’s ability to accurately predict patterns of interest and possibly evaluate model robustness (ie, the algorithm’s capacity to maintain predictive accuracy on images from different sources). In this article, we review the practices for performance assessment in veterinary pathology publications by which 2 main approaches were identified: (1) exclusive visual performance assessment (ie, eyeballing algorithmic predictions) plus validation of the model’s application utilizing secondary performance indices and (2) statistical performance assessment (alongside other methods), which requires creation of a test set with ground truth labels that is a hold-out from model development. This article compares the strengths and weaknesses of statistical and visual performance assessment methods. Furthermore, we discuss relevant considerations for rigorous statistical performance evaluation including metric selection, test data set image composition, ground truth label quality, resampling methods such as bootstrapping, statistical comparison of multiple models, and evaluation of model stability. It is our conclusion that visual and statistical evaluation have complementary strengths and a combined approach provides the greatest insight into the DL model’s performance and sources of error.

• Inherent uninterruptible power supply via directly grid-connected machines and variable inertia flywheels

  Rettig, A., Jahromi, S. N., Jauch, C., & Reese, L. (2026). Inherent uninterruptible power supply via directly grid-connected machines and variable inertia flywheels. Electric Power Systems Research, 256, 11. http://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsr.2026.112880 (Original work published 2026)

  This paper analyses the potential of a novel hydraulic variable inertia flywheel to improve standby power systems when attached to directly grid-connected electrical machines. Conventional standby power systems often require several seconds to reach full operation after a grid outage. During this time, critical loads may be left without power, unless supported by an additional uninterruptible power supply system. By flange-mounting a hydraulic variable inertia flywheel to an existing grid-connected electrical machine, emergency power can be provided immediately without the need for power electronics. The ability of the hydraulic variable inertia f lywheel to discharge at a quasi-constant speed offers improved frequency and voltage stability. The performance of the hydraulic variable inertia flywheel is compared with traditional flywheels of equivalent inertia and energy content across the two most common machines. The simulation results identify the most appropriate machine- f lywheel configuration to complement standby power systems. Combining a hydraulic variable inertia f lywheel with an electrically excited synchronous machine provides the most stable voltage and frequency support. The application of the widely used induction machine is found to be not preferable. Beyond acting as supplementary technology for standby power systems, combining directly grid-connected electrical machines with flywheels also offers secondary and tertiary benefits.

  This paper synthesizes insights from a scoping workshop funded by the Volkswagen Foundation that focused on reading competencies in the digital age. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the current state of research, identify actionable next steps and outline considerations for future work in the context of learning to read in a digital world. The conference brought together German researchers with a wide range of backgrounds and expertise in reading research including computer science, psychology, language processing and educational science. Presentations and discussions during the conference centred broadly on potentials and challenges of learning to read and reading support in the context of digitalization—focusing on issues related to artificial intelligence and app-based learning. Results of the workshop and subsequent writing sessions include a synthesis of key considerations and core questions for the field of research on digital approaches to support reading. Findings highlight the need for the field at large to identify and develop digital tools for diagnosing readers’ abilities and providing them with the support they need, and to do so with increased interdisciplinary collaboration, open science practices and communication among scholars.

• Intratumoral distribution of anisokaryosis in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors

  Bertram, C. A., Wilm, F., Parlak, E., Donovan, T. A., Janout, H., Bolfa, P., … Bartel, A. (2026). Intratumoral distribution of anisokaryosis in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors. Veterinary Pathology, 03009858261465447. http://doi.org/10.1177/03009858261465447 (Original work published Juli 2026)

  Abstract

  Automated measurements of anisokaryosis in canine cutaneous mast cell tumors (ccMCTs) have been shown to be predictive of survival, but questions remain regarding the intratumoral distribution of anisokaryosis. Whole-slide images of 96 ccMCTs were analyzed with a deep learning-based segmentation algorithm to quantify anisokaryosis using the standard deviation (SD) of the nuclear area. In 35/96 cases, \textgreater5\% of the non-overlapping 256 × 256 µm 2 regions were hotspots (SD ≥11.5 µm 2 ). Regions selected by 7 pathologists within these 35 cases matched hotspots in 32\% of the instances. Outcome analysis (tumor-related death) based on single tumor regions yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.901 for pathologist-selected hotspots, falling between random region selection (AUC: 0.862) and 90th-percentile targeted selection (AUC: 0.956). Whole-slide analysis of the hotspot proportion predicted survival with an AUC of 0.956, with 20\% of hotspots as a prognostically meaningful threshold. Whereas pathologists-selected tumor regions are prognostically meaningful for nuclear morphometry, whole-slide analysis may provide additional prognostic information.

• Data set creation for supervised deep learning–based analysis of microscopic images: Review of important considerations and recommendations

  Bertram, C. A., Weiss, V., Ammeling, J., Schabel, M., Donovan, T. A., Wilm, F., … Aubreville, M. (2026). Data set creation for supervised deep learning–based analysis of microscopic images: Review of important considerations and recommendations.

  Abstract

  Supervised deep learning (DL) receives great interest for automated analysis of microscopic images with an increasing body of literature supporting its potential. The development and testing of those DL models rely heavily on the availability of high-quality, large-scale data sets. However, creating such data sets is a complex and resource-intensive process, often hindered by challenges such as time constraints, domain variability, and risks of bias in image collection and label creation. This review provides a comprehensive guide to the critical steps in data set creation, including (1) image acquisition, (2) selection of annotation software, and (3) annotation creation. For image acquisition, besides ensuring a sufficiently large number, it is important to address sources of image variability (domain shifts), such as those related to slide preparation and digitization, that could lead to algorithmic errors if not adequately represented in the training data. For annotations, key quality criteria are the 3 “C”s: correctness, consistency, and completeness. For mitigation of annotation bias of a single annotator, this review explores advanced annotation methods (eg, computer-assisted annotations). To support data set creators, a standard operating procedure is provided as supplemental material, summarizing all important considerations for data set creation. Furthermore, this article underscores the importance of open data sets in driving innovation and enhancing reproducibility of DL research. By addressing the challenges and offering practical recommendations, this review aims to advance the creation and availability of high-quality, large-scale data sets, ultimately contributing to the development of generalizable and robust DL models for pathology applications.
