大型和深度电子医疗保健记录（EHR）数据集的可用性有可能更好地了解现实世界中的患者旅行，并鉴定出新的患者亚组。基于ML的EHR数据集合主要是工具驱动的，即基于可用或新开发的方法的构建。但是，这些方法，它们的输入要求以及最重要的是，通常难以解释产量，尤其是没有深入的数据科学或统计培训。这危害了需要进行可行且具有临床意义的解释的最后一步。这项研究研究了使用大型EHR数据集和多种聚类方法进行临床研究的方法进行大规模进行患者分层分析的方法。我们已经开发了几种工具来促进无监督的患者分层结果的临床评估和解释，即模式筛查，元聚类，替代建模和策展。这些工具可以在分析中的不同阶段使用。与标准分析方法相比，我们证明了凝结结果并优化分析时间的能力。在元聚类的情况下，我们证明了患者簇的数量可以从72减少到3。在另一个分层的结果中，通过使用替代模型，我们可以迅速确定如果有血液钠测量值可用，则可以对心力衰竭患者进行分层。由于这是对所有心力衰竭患者进行的常规测量，因此表明数据偏差。通过使用进一步的队列和特征策展，可以去除这些患者和其他无关的特征以提高临床意义。这些示例显示了拟议方法的有效性，我们希望鼓励在该领域的进一步研究。

Non-invasive prostate cancer detection from MRI has the potential to revolutionize patient care by providing early detection of clinically-significant disease (ISUP grade group >= 2), but has thus far shown limited positive predictive value. To address this, we present an MRI-based deep learning method for predicting clinically significant prostate cancer applicable to a patient population with subsequent ground truth biopsy results ranging from benign pathology to ISUP grade group~5. Specifically, we demonstrate that mixed supervision via diverse histopathological ground truth improves classification performance despite the cost of reduced concordance with image-based segmentation. That is, where prior approaches have utilized pathology results as ground truth derived from targeted biopsies and whole-mount prostatectomy to strongly supervise the localization of clinically significant cancer, our approach also utilizes weak supervision signals extracted from nontargeted systematic biopsies with regional localization to improve overall performance. Our key innovation is performing regression by distribution rather than simply by value, enabling use of additional pathology findings traditionally ignored by deep learning strategies. We evaluated our model on a dataset of 973 (testing n=160) multi-parametric prostate MRI exams collected at UCSF from 2015-2018 followed by MRI/ultrasound fusion (targeted) biopsy and systematic (nontargeted) biopsy of the prostate gland, demonstrating that deep networks trained with mixed supervision of histopathology can significantly exceed the performance of the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) clinical standard for prostate MRI interpretation.

语言模型既展示了定量的改进，又展示了新的定性功能，随着规模的增加。尽管它们具有潜在的变革性影响，但这些新能力的特征却很差。为了为未来的研究提供信息，为破坏性的新模型能力做准备，并改善社会有害的效果，至关重要的是，我们必须了解目前和近乎未来的能力和语言模型的局限性。为了应对这一挑战，我们介绍了超越模仿游戏基准（Big Bench）。 Big Bench目前由204个任务组成，由132家机构的442位作者贡献。任务主题是多样的，从语言学，儿童发展，数学，常识性推理，生物学，物理学，社会偏见，软件开发等等。 Big-Bench专注于被认为超出当前语言模型的功能的任务。我们评估了OpenAI的GPT型号，Google内部密集变压器体系结构和大型基础上的开关稀疏变压器的行为，跨越了数百万到数十亿个参数。此外，一个人类专家评估者团队执行了所有任务，以提供强大的基准。研究结果包括：模型性能和校准都随规模改善，但绝对的术语（以及与评估者的性能相比）；在模型类中的性能非常相似，尽管带有稀疏性。逐渐和预测的任务通常涉及大量知识或记忆成分，而在临界规模上表现出“突破性”行为的任务通常涉及多个步骤或组成部分或脆性指标；社交偏见通常会随着含糊不清的环境而随着规模而增加，但这可以通过提示来改善。

时间序列数据的生成和分析与许多从经济学到流体力学的定量字段相关。在物理科学中，诸如亚稳态和连贯的组的结构，慢松弛过程，集体变量显性过渡途径或歧管流动流动的概率流动可能非常重视理解和表征系统的动力动力学和机械性质。 Deeptime是一种通用Python库，提供各种工具来估计基于时间序列数据的动态模型，包括传统的线性学习方法，例如马尔可夫状态模型（MSM），隐藏的马尔可夫模型和Koopman模型，以及内核和深度学习方法如vampnets和深msms。该库主要兼容Scikit-Searn，为这些不同的模型提供一系列估计器类，但与Scikit-Ge劳说相比，还提供了深度模型类，例如，在MSM的情况下，提供了多种分析方法来计算有趣的热力学，动力学和动态量，例如自由能，松弛时间和过渡路径。图书馆专为易于使用而设计，而且易于维护和可扩展的代码。在本文中，我们介绍了Deeptime软件的主要特征和结构。

一个多世纪以前，伊万·P·帕夫洛夫（Ivan P. Pavlov）在经典实验中展示了狗如何学会将铃铛与食物联系起来，从而导致戒指导致唾液。如今，很少发现使用Pavlovian类型的关联学习用于人工智能（AI）应用程序，即使其他学习概念，尤其是对人工神经网络（ANN）的反向传播也蓬勃发展。但是，使用反向传播方法的训练在“常规” ANN上，尤其是现代深神经网络（DNNS）的形式，是计算和能量密集型的。在这里，我们在实验上展示了使用单个（或单一）关联硬件元素的无反向传播学习形式。我们使用相位变换材料与芯片级联方向耦合器相结合的集成光子平台上意识到这一点。然后，我们使用我们的Monadic Pavlovian光子硬件开发扩展的电路网络，该硬件可以基于单元素关联提供独特的机器学习框架，并且重要的是，重要的是，使用无反向传播的架构来解决一般学习任务。我们的方法通过在传统的神经网络方法中学习来减轻施加的计算负担，从而提高了速度，同时还提供了我们光子实现固有的更高带宽。

Feature selection helps reduce data acquisition costs in ML, but the standard approach is to train models with static feature subsets. Here, we consider the dynamic feature selection (DFS) problem where a model sequentially queries features based on the presently available information. DFS is often addressed with reinforcement learning (RL), but we explore a simpler approach of greedily selecting features based on their conditional mutual information. This method is theoretically appealing but requires oracle access to the data distribution, so we develop a learning approach based on amortized optimization. The proposed method is shown to recover the greedy policy when trained to optimality and outperforms numerous existing feature selection methods in our experiments, thus validating it as a simple but powerful approach for this problem.

Logic Mill is a scalable and openly accessible software system that identifies semantically similar documents within either one domain-specific corpus or multi-domain corpora. It uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to generate numerical representations of documents. Currently it leverages a large pre-trained language model to generate these document representations. The system focuses on scientific publications and patent documents and contains more than 200 million documents. It is easily accessible via a simple Application Programming Interface (API) or via a web interface. Moreover, it is continuously being updated and can be extended to text corpora from other domains. We see this system as a general-purpose tool for future research applications in the social sciences and other domains.

We demonstrate how efficient autonomous drone swarms can be in detecting and tracking occluded targets in densely forested areas, such as lost people during search and rescue missions. Exploration and optimization of local viewing conditions, such as occlusion density and target view obliqueness, provide much faster and much more reliable results than previous, blind sampling strategies that are based on pre-defined waypoints. An adapted real-time particle swarm optimization and a new objective function are presented that are able to deal with dynamic and highly random through-foliage conditions. Synthetic aperture sensing is our fundamental sampling principle, and drone swarms are employed to approximate the optical signals of extremely wide and adaptable airborne lenses.

The generalisation performance of a convolutional neural networks (CNN) is majorly predisposed by the quantity, quality, and diversity of the training images. All the training data needs to be annotated in-hand before, in many real-world applications data is easy to acquire but expensive and time-consuming to label. The goal of the Active learning for the task is to draw most informative samples from the unlabeled pool which can used for training after annotation. With total different objective, self-supervised learning which have been gaining meteoric popularity by closing the gap in performance with supervised methods on large computer vision benchmarks. self-supervised learning (SSL) these days have shown to produce low-level representations that are invariant to distortions of the input sample and can encode invariance to artificially created distortions, e.g. rotation, solarization, cropping etc. self-supervised learning (SSL) approaches rely on simpler and more scalable frameworks for learning. In this paper, we unify these two families of approaches from the angle of active learning using self-supervised learning mainfold and propose Deep Active Learning using BarlowTwins(DALBT), an active learning method for all the datasets using combination of classifier trained along with self-supervised loss framework of Barlow Twins to a setting where the model can encode the invariance of artificially created distortions, e.g. rotation, solarization, cropping etc.

This paper proposes a novel observer-based controller for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) designed to directly receive measurements from a Vision-Aided Inertial Navigation System (VA-INS) and produce the required thrust and rotational torque inputs. The VA-INS is composed of a vision unit (monocular or stereo camera) and a typical low-cost 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) equipped with an accelerometer and a gyroscope. A major benefit of this approach is its applicability for environments where the Global Positioning System (GPS) is inaccessible. The proposed VTOL-UAV observer utilizes IMU and feature measurements to accurately estimate attitude (orientation), gyroscope bias, position, and linear velocity. Ability to use VA-INS measurements directly makes the proposed observer design more computationally efficient as it obviates the need for attitude and position reconstruction. Once the motion components are estimated, the observer-based controller is used to control the VTOL-UAV attitude, angular velocity, position, and linear velocity guiding the vehicle along the desired trajectory in six degrees of freedom (6 DoF). The closed-loop estimation and the control errors of the observer-based controller are proven to be exponentially stable starting from almost any initial condition. To achieve global and unique VTOL-UAV representation in 6 DoF, the proposed approach is posed on the Lie Group and the design in unit-quaternion is presented. Although the proposed approach is described in a continuous form, the discrete version is provided and tested.
