Plastic shopping bags that get carried away from the side of roads and tangled on cotton plants can end up at cotton gins if not removed before the harvest. Such bags may not only cause problem in the ginning process but might also get embodied in cotton fibers reducing its quality and marketable value. Therefore, it is required to detect, locate, and remove the bags before cotton is harvested. Manually detecting and locating these bags in cotton fields is labor intensive, time-consuming and a costly process. To solve these challenges, we present application of four variants of YOLOv5 (YOLOv5s, YOLOv5m, YOLOv5l and YOLOv5x) for detecting plastic shopping bags using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)-acquired RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images. We also show fixed effect model tests of color of plastic bags as well as YOLOv5-variant on average precision (AP), mean average precision (mAP@50) and accuracy. In addition, we also demonstrate the effect of height of plastic bags on the detection accuracy. It was found that color of bags had significant effect (p < 0.001) on accuracy across all the four variants while it did not show any significant effect on the AP with YOLOv5m (p = 0.10) and YOLOv5x (p = 0.35) at 95% confidence level. Similarly, YOLOv5-variant did not show any significant effect on the AP (p = 0.11) and accuracy (p = 0.73) of white bags, but it had significant effects on the AP (p = 0.03) and accuracy (p = 0.02) of brown bags including on the mAP@50 (p = 0.01) and inference speed (p < 0.0001). Additionally, height of plastic bags had significant effect (p < 0.0001) on overall detection accuracy. The findings reported in this paper can be useful in speeding up removal of plastic bags from cotton fields before harvest and thereby reducing the amount of contaminants that end up at cotton gins.

Boll Weevil（Anthonomus Grandis L.）是一种严重的害虫，主要以棉花为食。由于亚热带气候条件，在德克萨斯州的下里奥格兰德山谷等地方，棉花植物可以全年生长，因此，收获期间上一个季节的剩下的种子可以在玉米中的旋转中继续生长（Zea Mays L.）和高粱（高粱双色L.）。这些野性或志愿棉花（VC）植物到达Pinhead平方阶段（5-6叶阶段）可以充当Boll Weevil Pest的宿主。得克萨斯州的鲍尔象鼻虫根除计划（TBWEP）雇用人们在道路或田野侧面生长的风险投资和消除旋转作物的田间生长，但在田野中生长的植物仍未被发现。在本文中，我们证明了基于您的计算机视觉（CV）算法的应用，仅在三个不同的生长阶段（V3，V6）（V3，V6）中检测出在玉米场中生长的VC植物，以检测在玉米场中生长的VC植物的应用。使用无人飞机系统（UAS）遥感图像。使用Yolov5（S，M，L和X）的所有四个变体，并根据分类精度，平均平均精度（MAP）和F1得分进行比较。发现Yolov5s可以在玉米的V6阶段检测到最大分类精度为98％，地图为96.3％，而Yolov5s和Yolov5m的地图为96.3％，而Yolov5m的分类精度为85％，Yolov5m和Yolov5m的分类准确性最小，而Yolov5L的分类精度最少。在VT阶段，在尺寸416 x 416像素的图像上为86.5％。开发的CV算法有可能有效地检测和定位在玉米场中间生长的VC植物，并加快TBWEP的管理方面。

为了控制棉花场中的鲍尔象鼻虫（Anthonomus Grandis L.）害虫重新感染，目前的志愿棉花（VC）（VC）（gossypium hirsutum L.）植物检测玉米（Zea Mays L.）和Sorghum等旋转作物中的植物检测（高粱双色L.）涉及在田野边缘的手动田地侦察。这导致许多风险植物在田野中间生长仍未被发现，并继续与玉米和高粱并肩生长。当他们到达Pinhead平方阶段（5-6片叶子）时，它们可以充当鲍尔维尔虫害的宿主。因此，需要检测，定位，然后精确地用化学物质进行斑点。在本文中，我们介绍了Yolov5M在放射线和伽马校正的低分辨率（1.2兆像素）的多光谱图像中的应用，以检测和定位在康沃尔场的流苏中间（VT）生长阶段生长的VC植物。我们的结果表明，可以以平均平均精度（地图）为79％，分类精度为78％，大小为1207 x 923像素的分类精度为78％，平均推理速度在NVIDIA上的平均推理速度接近47帧（FPS） NVIDIA JETSON TX2 GPU上的Tesla P100 GPU-16GB和0.4 fps。我们还证明了基于开发的计算机视觉（CV）算法的定制无人飞机系统（UAS）的应用应用程序应用程序，以及如何将其用于近乎实时检测和缓解玉米领域中VC植物的近乎实时检测和缓解为了有效地管理鲍尔象鼻虫害虫。

自1800年代后期从墨西哥进入美国以来，棉花象鼻虫是Anthonomus Grandis Boheman是美国棉花行业的严重害虫，其损失超过160亿美元。这种害虫几乎被根除了。但是，得克萨斯州南部仍然面临这个问题，由于其亚热带气候可以全年生长，因此每年始终容易恢复有害生物。一旦到达销售虫（玉米），一旦它们到达销售虫的植物，志愿棉花（VC）植物一旦到达销子，可以作为这些害虫的宿主，一旦它们到达销钉头阶段（5-6叶阶段），因此需要检测到，位于，位于，位置，并被摧毁或喷涂。在本文中，我们介绍了一项研究，用于使用Yolov3在无人飞机系统（UAS）收集的三个频段航空图像上检测玉米田中的VC植物。本文的两倍目标是：（i）确定Yolov3是否可以使用UAS和（II）收集的RGB（红色，绿色和蓝色）在玉米场中进行VC检测来研究行为基于平均精度（AP），平均平均精度（MAP）和95％的95％的图像（320 x 320，s1; 416 x 416，s2; 416 x 416，s2;和512 x 512，s3像素）的图像上的yolov3的图像。信心水平。在三个量表之间，MAP没有显着差异，而S1和S3之间的AP存在显着差异（P = 0.04），S2和S3（P = 0.02）。 S2和S3之间的F1分数也存在显着差异（P = 0.02）。在所有三个量表上，MAP缺乏显着差异表明，训练有素的Yolov3模型可用于基于计算机视觉的远程试验的航空应用系统（RPAA），以实时实时实时进行VC检测和喷雾应用。

Recent work has reported that AI classifiers trained on audio recordings can accurately predict severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2) infection status. Here, we undertake a large scale study of audio-based deep learning classifiers, as part of the UK governments pandemic response. We collect and analyse a dataset of audio recordings from 67,842 individuals with linked metadata, including reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test outcomes, of whom 23,514 tested positive for SARS CoV 2. Subjects were recruited via the UK governments National Health Service Test-and-Trace programme and the REal-time Assessment of Community Transmission (REACT) randomised surveillance survey. In an unadjusted analysis of our dataset AI classifiers predict SARS-CoV-2 infection status with high accuracy (Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve (ROCAUC) 0.846 [0.838, 0.854]) consistent with the findings of previous studies. However, after matching on measured confounders, such as age, gender, and self reported symptoms, our classifiers performance is much weaker (ROC-AUC 0.619 [0.594, 0.644]). Upon quantifying the utility of audio based classifiers in practical settings, we find them to be outperformed by simple predictive scores based on user reported symptoms.

Since early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there has been interest in using artificial intelligence methods to predict COVID-19 infection status based on vocal audio signals, for example cough recordings. However, existing studies have limitations in terms of data collection and of the assessment of the performances of the proposed predictive models. This paper rigorously assesses state-of-the-art machine learning techniques used to predict COVID-19 infection status based on vocal audio signals, using a dataset collected by the UK Health Security Agency. This dataset includes acoustic recordings and extensive study participant meta-data. We provide guidelines on testing the performance of methods to classify COVID-19 infection status based on acoustic features and we discuss how these can be extended more generally to the development and assessment of predictive methods based on public health datasets.

The UK COVID-19 Vocal Audio Dataset is designed for the training and evaluation of machine learning models that classify SARS-CoV-2 infection status or associated respiratory symptoms using vocal audio. The UK Health Security Agency recruited voluntary participants through the national Test and Trace programme and the REACT-1 survey in England from March 2021 to March 2022, during dominant transmission of the Alpha and Delta SARS-CoV-2 variants and some Omicron variant sublineages. Audio recordings of volitional coughs, exhalations, and speech were collected in the 'Speak up to help beat coronavirus' digital survey alongside demographic, self-reported symptom and respiratory condition data, and linked to SARS-CoV-2 test results. The UK COVID-19 Vocal Audio Dataset represents the largest collection of SARS-CoV-2 PCR-referenced audio recordings to date. PCR results were linked to 70,794 of 72,999 participants and 24,155 of 25,776 positive cases. Respiratory symptoms were reported by 45.62% of participants. This dataset has additional potential uses for bioacoustics research, with 11.30% participants reporting asthma, and 27.20% with linked influenza PCR test results.

Many state-of-the-art deep learning models for computer vision tasks are based on the transformer architecture. Such models can be computationally expensive and are typically statically set to meet the deployment scenario. However, in real-time applications, the resources available for every inference can vary considerably and be smaller than what state-of-the-art models use. We can use dynamic models to adapt the model execution to meet real-time application resource constraints. While prior dynamic work has primarily minimized resource utilization for less complex input images while maintaining accuracy and focused on CNNs and early transformer models such as BERT, we adapt vision transformers to meet system dynamic resource constraints, independent of the input image. We find that unlike early transformer models, recent state-of-the-art vision transformers heavily rely on convolution layers. We show that pretrained models are fairly resilient to skipping computation in the convolution and self-attention layers, enabling us to create a low-overhead system for dynamic real-time inference without additional training. Finally, we create a optimized accelerator for these dynamic vision transformers in a 5nm technology. The PE array occupies 2.26mm$^2$ and is 17 times faster than a NVIDIA TITAN V GPU for state-of-the-art transformer-based models for semantic segmentation.

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。

用于探索美国国家航空航天局的搜索工具（广告）可以相当丰富和赋予（例如，类似和趋势的运营商），但研究人员尚未允许完全杠杆语义搜索。例如，对“普朗克任务的结果”查询应该能够区分普朗克（人，任务，常量，机构和更多）的所有各种含义，而无需从用户进一步澄清。在广告中，我们正在将现代机器学习和自然语言处理技术应用于我们最近的天文出版物的数据集，以培训Astrobert，这是一种基于Google研究的深刻语境语言模型。使用AstrBert，我们的目标是丰富广告数据集并提高其可发现性，特别是我们正在开发自己的命名实体识别工具。我们在这里展示我们初步的结果和经验教训。
