计算机辅助方法为诊断和预测脑疾病显示了附加的价值，因此可以支持临床护理和治疗计划中的决策。本章将洞悉方法的类型，其工作，输入数据（例如认知测试，成像和遗传数据）及其提供的输出类型。我们将专注于诊断的特定用例，即估计患者的当前“状况”，例如痴呆症的早期检测和诊断，对脑肿瘤的鉴别诊断以及中风的决策。关于预测，即对患者的未来“状况”的估计，我们将缩小用例，例如预测多发性硬化症中的疾病病程，并预测脑癌治疗后患者的结局。此外，根据这些用例，我们将评估当前的最新方法，并强调当前对这些方法进行基准测试的努力以及其中的开放科学的重要性。最后，我们评估了计算机辅助方法的当前临床影响，并讨论了增加临床影响所需的下一步。

放射线学使用定量医学成像特征来预测临床结果。目前，在新的临床应用中，必须通过启发式试验和纠正过程手动完成各种可用选项的最佳放射组方法。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个框架，以自动优化每个应用程序的放射线工作流程的构建。为此，我们将放射线学作为模块化工作流程，并为每个组件包含大量的常见算法。为了优化每个应用程序的工作流程，我们使用随机搜索和结合使用自动化机器学习。我们在十二个不同的临床应用中评估我们的方法，从而在曲线下导致以下区域：1）脂肪肉瘤（0.83）； 2）脱粘型纤维瘤病（0.82）; 3）原发性肝肿瘤（0.80）; 4）胃肠道肿瘤（0.77）； 5）结直肠肝转移（0.61）; 6）黑色素瘤转移（0.45）; 7）肝细胞癌（0.75）; 8）肠系膜纤维化（0.80）; 9）前列腺癌（0.72）； 10）神经胶质瘤（0.71）; 11）阿尔茨海默氏病（0.87）;和12）头颈癌（0.84）。我们表明，我们的框架具有比较人类专家的竞争性能，优于放射线基线，并且表现相似或优于贝叶斯优化和更高级的合奏方法。最后，我们的方法完全自动优化了放射线工作流的构建，从而简化了在新应用程序中对放射线生物标志物的搜索。为了促进可重复性和未来的研究，我们公开发布了六个数据集，框架的软件实施以及重现这项研究的代码。

Context-aware decision support in the operating room can foster surgical safety and efficiency by leveraging real-time feedback from surgical workflow analysis. Most existing works recognize surgical activities at a coarse-grained level, such as phases, steps or events, leaving out fine-grained interaction details about the surgical activity; yet those are needed for more helpful AI assistance in the operating room. Recognizing surgical actions as triplets of <instrument, verb, target> combination delivers comprehensive details about the activities taking place in surgical videos. This paper presents CholecTriplet2021: an endoscopic vision challenge organized at MICCAI 2021 for the recognition of surgical action triplets in laparoscopic videos. The challenge granted private access to the large-scale CholecT50 dataset, which is annotated with action triplet information. In this paper, we present the challenge setup and assessment of the state-of-the-art deep learning methods proposed by the participants during the challenge. A total of 4 baseline methods from the challenge organizers and 19 new deep learning algorithms by competing teams are presented to recognize surgical action triplets directly from surgical videos, achieving mean average precision (mAP) ranging from 4.2% to 38.1%. This study also analyzes the significance of the results obtained by the presented approaches, performs a thorough methodological comparison between them, in-depth result analysis, and proposes a novel ensemble method for enhanced recognition. Our analysis shows that surgical workflow analysis is not yet solved, and also highlights interesting directions for future research on fine-grained surgical activity recognition which is of utmost importance for the development of AI in surgery.

Array programming provides a powerful, compact, expressive syntax for accessing, manipulating, and operating on data in vectors, matrices, and higher-dimensional arrays [1]. NumPy is the primary array programming library for the Python language [2,3,4,5]. It plays an essential role in research analysis pipelines in fields as diverse as physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology, psychology, material science, engineering, finance, and economics. For example, in astronomy, NumPy was an important part of the software stack used in the discovery of gravitational waves [6] and the first imaging of a black hole [7].Here we show how a few fundamental array concepts lead to a simple and powerful programming paradigm for organizing, exploring, and analyzing scientific data. NumPy is the foundation upon which the entire scientific Python universe is constructed. It is so pervasive that several projects, targeting audiences with specialized needs, have developed their own NumPy-like interfaces and array objects. Because of its central position in the ecosystem, NumPy increasingly plays the role of an interoperability layer between these new array computation libraries.

The number of international benchmarking competitions is steadily increasing in various fields of machine learning (ML) research and practice. So far, however, little is known about the common practice as well as bottlenecks faced by the community in tackling the research questions posed. To shed light on the status quo of algorithm development in the specific field of biomedical imaging analysis, we designed an international survey that was issued to all participants of challenges conducted in conjunction with the IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021 conferences (80 competitions in total). The survey covered participants' expertise and working environments, their chosen strategies, as well as algorithm characteristics. A median of 72% challenge participants took part in the survey. According to our results, knowledge exchange was the primary incentive (70%) for participation, while the reception of prize money played only a minor role (16%). While a median of 80 working hours was spent on method development, a large portion of participants stated that they did not have enough time for method development (32%). 25% perceived the infrastructure to be a bottleneck. Overall, 94% of all solutions were deep learning-based. Of these, 84% were based on standard architectures. 43% of the respondents reported that the data samples (e.g., images) were too large to be processed at once. This was most commonly addressed by patch-based training (69%), downsampling (37%), and solving 3D analysis tasks as a series of 2D tasks. K-fold cross-validation on the training set was performed by only 37% of the participants and only 50% of the participants performed ensembling based on multiple identical models (61%) or heterogeneous models (39%). 48% of the respondents applied postprocessing steps.

深度卷积神经网络（DCNN）最初是受生物视觉原理的启发，已演变为对象识别的最佳当前计算模型，因此表明在整个与神经图像和神经时间序列数据的比较中，都表明了与腹视觉途径的强大结构和功能并行性。随着深度学习的最新进展似乎降低了这种相似性，计算神经科学面临挑战，以逆转工程，以获得有用模型的生物学合理性。虽然先前的研究表明，生物学启发的体系结构能够扩大模型的人类风格，但在本研究中，我们研究了一种纯粹的数据驱动方法。我们使用人类的眼睛跟踪数据来直接修改训练示例，从而指导模型在自然图像中对象识别期间的视觉注意力朝着或远离人类固定的焦点。我们通过GARGCAM显着性图比较和验证不同的操纵类型（即标准，类人类和非人类的注意力）与人类参与者的眼动数据。我们的结果表明，与人类相比，所提出的指导焦点操作的作用是在负方向上的意图，而非人类样模型则集中在明显不同的图像部分上。观察到的效果是高度类别特异性的，它通过动画和面部的存在增强，仅在完成前馈处理后才开发，并表明对面部检测产生了强烈的影响。然而，使用这种方法，没有发现人类的类似性。讨论了公开视觉注意力在DCNN中的可能应用，并讨论了对面部检测理论的进一步影响。

人工智能（AI）启用的自主实验为加速科学发现提供了新的范式。非平衡材料合成是复杂，资源密集型实验的象征性，其加速将是物料发现和发展的流域。最近通过高吞吐量实验加速了非平衡合成相图的映射，但仍然限制了材料研究，因为参数空间太大而无法彻底探索。我们通过科学自主推理代理（SARA）管辖的分层自主实验，证明了加速的合成和促进亚稳材料。 SARA将机器人材料合成和表征与AI方法的层次集成，有效地揭示了处理相图的结构。 SARA设计横向梯度激光尖峰退火（LG-LSA）实验，用于平行材料合成，采用光学光谱速度迅速识别相转变。利用嵌套的主动学习（AL）周期实现了多维参数空间的高效探索，该嵌套主动学习模型包括实验的底层物理以及端到端的不确定性量化。有了这个，萨拉在多种尺度处的协调体现了复杂的科学任务的AI利用。我们通过自主映射综合映射_3 $ System的综合相位边界来展示其性能，导致幅度加速度，即建立一个合成相图，其中包括动力学稳定$ \ delta $ -bi $的条件_2 $ o $ _3 $在室温下，用于氧化固体氧化物燃料电池等电化学技术的关键开发。

Strategic test allocation plays a major role in the control of both emerging and existing pandemics (e.g., COVID-19, HIV). Widespread testing supports effective epidemic control by (1) reducing transmission via identifying cases, and (2) tracking outbreak dynamics to inform targeted interventions. However, infectious disease surveillance presents unique statistical challenges. For instance, the true outcome of interest - one's positive infectious status, is often a latent variable. In addition, presence of both network and temporal dependence reduces the data to a single observation. As testing entire populations regularly is neither efficient nor feasible, standard approaches to testing recommend simple rule-based testing strategies (e.g., symptom based, contact tracing), without taking into account individual risk. In this work, we study an adaptive sequential design involving n individuals over a period of {\tau} time-steps, which allows for unspecified dependence among individuals and across time. Our causal target parameter is the mean latent outcome we would have obtained after one time-step, if, starting at time t given the observed past, we had carried out a stochastic intervention that maximizes the outcome under a resource constraint. We propose an Online Super Learner for adaptive sequential surveillance that learns the optimal choice of tests strategies over time while adapting to the current state of the outbreak. Relying on a series of working models, the proposed method learns across samples, through time, or both: based on the underlying (unknown) structure in the data. We present an identification result for the latent outcome in terms of the observed data, and demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed strategy in a simulation modeling a residential university environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to be able to perform new tasks based on a few demonstrations or natural language instructions. While these capabilities have led to widespread adoption, most LLMs are developed by resource-rich organizations and are frequently kept from the public. As a step towards democratizing this powerful technology, we present BLOOM, a 176B-parameter open-access language model designed and built thanks to a collaboration of hundreds of researchers. BLOOM is a decoder-only Transformer language model that was trained on the ROOTS corpus, a dataset comprising hundreds of sources in 46 natural and 13 programming languages (59 in total). We find that BLOOM achieves competitive performance on a wide variety of benchmarks, with stronger results after undergoing multitask prompted finetuning. To facilitate future research and applications using LLMs, we publicly release our models and code under the Responsible AI License.

在许多领域，建模代理对一组替代方案的偏好是主要问题。主要的方法是找到一个单一的奖励/效用功能，其属性是替代奖励比产生较低奖励的替代方案所优选的。但是，在许多情况下，偏好是基于多个，经常竞争的目标。单个奖励功能不足以代表此类偏好。本文提出了一种推断代理观察到的偏好的多目标奖励表示的方法。我们将代理在不同目标上的优先级建模为输入词典，因此，仅当代理关于较高优先级的目标无动于衷时，优先级较低的目标就很重要。我们提供了两个受癌症治疗启发的医疗保健中的示例申请，另一种是受器官移植的启发，以说明我们学到的词典订购的奖励如何可以更好地了解决策者的偏好，并在加强加固时帮助改善政策学习。
