医学图像分割模型的性能指标用于衡量参考注释和预测之间的一致性。在开发此类模型中,使用了一组通用指标,以使结果更具可比性。但是,公共数据集中的分布与临床实践中遇到的案例之间存在不匹配。许多常见的指标无法衡量这种不匹配的影响,尤其是对于包含不确定,小或空参考注释的临床数据集。因此,可能无法通过此类指标来验证模型在临床上有意义的一致性。评估临床价值的维度包括独立于参考注释量的大小,考虑参考注释的不确定性,体积计和/或位置一致性的奖励以及对空参考注释正确分类的奖励。与普通的公共数据集不同,我们的内部数据集更具代表性。它包含不确定的,小或空的参考注释。我们研究了有关深度学习框架的预测的公开度量指标,以确定哪些设置共同指标可提供有意义的结果。我们将公共基准数据集进行比较而没有不确定,小或空参考注释。该代码将发布。

We present a Machine Learning (ML) study case to illustrate the challenges of clinical translation for a real-time AI-empowered echocardiography system with data of ICU patients in LMICs. Such ML case study includes data preparation, curation and labelling from 2D Ultrasound videos of 31 ICU patients in LMICs and model selection, validation and deployment of three thinner neural networks to classify apical four-chamber view. Results of the ML heuristics showed the promising implementation, validation and application of thinner networks to classify 4CV with limited datasets. We conclude this work mentioning the need for (a) datasets to improve diversity of demographics, diseases, and (b) the need of further investigations of thinner models to be run and implemented in low-cost hardware to be clinically translated in the ICU in LMICs. The code and other resources to reproduce this work are available at https://github.com/vital-ultrasound/ai-assisted-echocardiography-for-low-resource-countries.

Common disabilities like stroke and spinal cord injuries may cause loss of motor function in hands. They can be treated with robot assisted rehabilitation techniques, like continuously opening and closing the hand with help of a robot, in a cheaper, and less time consuming manner than traditional methods. Hand exoskeletons are developed to assist rehabilitation, but their bulky nature brings with it certain challenges. As soft robots use elastomeric and fabric elements rather than heavy links, and operate with pneumatic, hydraulic or tendon based rather than traditional rotary or linear motors, soft hand exoskeletons are deemed a better option in relation to rehabilitation.

Modal verbs (e.g., "can", "should", or "must") occur highly frequently in scientific articles. Decoding their function is not straightforward: they are often used for hedging, but they may also denote abilities and restrictions. Understanding their meaning is important for various NLP tasks such as writing assistance or accurate information extraction from scientific text. To foster research on the usage of modals in this genre, we introduce the MIST (Modals In Scientific Text) dataset, which contains 3737 modal instances in five scientific domains annotated for their semantic, pragmatic, or rhetorical function. We systematically evaluate a set of competitive neural architectures on MIST. Transfer experiments reveal that leveraging non-scientific data is of limited benefit for modeling the distinctions in MIST. Our corpus analysis provides evidence that scientific communities differ in their usage of modal verbs, yet, classifiers trained on scientific data generalize to some extent to unseen scientific domains.

Stock and flow diagrams are already an important tool in epidemiology, but category theory lets us go further and treat these diagrams as mathematical entities in their own right. In this chapter we use communicable disease models created with our software, StockFlow.jl, to explain the benefits of the categorical approach. We first explain the category of stock-flow diagrams, and note the clear separation between the syntax of these diagrams and their semantics, demonstrating three examples of semantics already implemented in the software: ODEs, causal loop diagrams, and system structure diagrams. We then turn to two methods for building large stock-flow diagrams from smaller ones in a modular fashion: composition and stratification. Finally, we introduce the open-source ModelCollab software for diagram-based collaborative modeling. The graphical user interface of this web-based software lets modelers take advantage of the ideas discussed here without any knowledge of their categorical foundations.

Covid-19在大流行的不同阶段对公众构成了不成比例的心理健康后果。我们使用一种计算方法来捕获引发在线社区对大流行的焦虑的特定方面,并研究这些方面如何随时间变化。首先,我们使用主题分析在R/covid19 \ _support的Reddit帖子样本($ n $ = 86)中确定了九个焦虑(SOA)。然后,我们通过在手动注释的样本($ n $ = 793)上训练Reddit用户的焦虑来自动将SOA标记在较大的年代样本中($ n $ = 6,535)。 9个SOA与最近开发的大流行焦虑测量量表中的项目保持一致。我们观察到,在大流行的前八个月,Reddit用户对健康风险的担忧仍然很高。尽管案件激增稍后发生,但这些担忧却大大减少了。通常,随着大流行的进展,用户的语言披露了SOA的强烈强度。但是,在本研究涵盖的整个期间,人们对心理健康的担忧和未来稳步增长。人们还倾向于使用更强烈的语言来描述心理健康问题,而不是健康风险或死亡问题。我们的结果表明,尽管Covid-19逐渐削弱,但由于适当的对策而逐渐削弱了作为健康威胁,但该在线小组的心理健康状况并不一定会改善。我们的系统为人口健康和流行病学学者奠定了基础,以及时检查引起大流行焦虑的方面。

我们根据计算一个扎根于每个顶点的某个加权树的家族而构成的相似性得分提出了一种有效的图形匹配算法。对于两个erd \ h {o} s-r \'enyi图$ \ mathcal {g}(n,q)$,其边缘通过潜在顶点通信相关联,我们表明该算法正确地匹配了所有范围的范围,除了所有的vertices分数外,有了很高的概率,前提是$ nq \ to \ infty $,而边缘相关系数$ \ rho $满足$ \ rho^2> \ alpha \ ailpha \大约0.338 $,其中$ \ alpha $是Otter的树木计数常数。此外,在理论上是必需的额外条件下,可以精确地匹配。这是第一个以显式常数相关性成功的多项式图匹配算法,并适用于稀疏和密集图。相比之下,以前的方法要么需要$ \ rho = 1-o(1)$,要么仅限于稀疏图。该算法的症结是一个经过精心策划的植根树的家族,称为吊灯,它可以有效地从同一树的计数中提取图形相关性,同时抑制不同树木之间的不良相关性。

使用深度学习技术,可以在MRI图像中自动检测到旁那鼻鼻窦系统中的异常,并可以根据其体积,形状和其他参数(例如局部对比度)进行进一步分析和分类。但是,由于培训数据有限,传统的监督学习方法通​​常无法概括。现有的旁那间异常分类中的深度学习方法最多可诊断出一种异常。在我们的工作中,我们考虑三个异常。具体而言,我们采用3D CNN来分离上颌鼻窦体积,而没有异常的鼻窦体积,并具有异常。为了从一个小标记的数据集中学习强大的表示形式,我们提出了一种新颖的学习范式,结合了对比损失和跨内向损失。特别是,我们使用有监督的对比损失,鼓励有或没有异常的上颌窦量的嵌入来形成两个不同的簇,而跨层损失则鼓励3D CNN保持其歧视能力。我们报告说,两种损失的优化是有利的,而不是仅通过一次损失而优化。我们还发现我们的培训策略会提高标签效率。使用我们的方法,3D CNN分类器的AUROC为0.85,而用横向渗透损失优化的3D CNN分类器可实现0.66的AUROC。

多模式信息在医疗任务中经常可用。通过结合来自多个来源的信息,临床医生可以做出更准确的判断。近年来,在临床实践中使用了多种成像技术进行视网膜分析:2D眼底照片,3D光学相干断层扫描(OCT)和3D OCT血管造影等。我们的论文研究了基于深度学习的三种多模式信息融合策略,以求解视网膜视网膜分析任务:早期融合,中间融合和分层融合。常用的早期和中间融合很简单,但不能完全利用模式之间的互补信息。我们开发了一种分层融合方法,该方法着重于将网络多个维度的特征组合在一起,并探索模式之间的相关性。这些方法分别用于使用公共伽马数据集(Felcus Photophs和OCT)以及Plexelite 9000(Carl Zeis Meditec Inc.)的私人数据集,将这些方法应用于青光眼和糖尿病性视网膜病变分类。我们的分层融合方法在病例中表现最好,并为更好的临床诊断铺平了道路。
