According to news reporting originating from Hangzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Head gesture is a natural and non-verbal communication method for human-computer and human-robot interaction, conveying attitudes and intentions. However, the existing vision-based recognition methods cannot meet the precision and robustness of interaction requirements.” Funders for this research include Key Research and Development Project of Zhejiang Province, Fundamental Research Funds for the Provincial Universities of Zhejiang, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Hangzhou Dianzi University, “Due to the limited computational resources, applying most high-accuracy methods to mobile and onboard devices is challenging. Moreover, the wearable device-based approach is inconvenient and expensive. To deal with these problems, an end-to-end two-stream fusion network named TSIR3D is proposed to identify head gestures from videos for analyzing human attitudes and intentions. Inspired by Inception and ResNet architecture, the width and depth of the network are increased to capture motion features sufficiently. Meanwhile, convolutional kernels are expanded from the spatial domain to the spatiotemporal domain for temporal feature extraction. The fusion position of the two-stream channel is explored under an accuracy/complexity trade-off to a certain extent. Furthermore, a dynamic head gesture dataset named DHG and a behavior tree are designed for human-robot interaction. Experimental results show that the proposed method has advantages in real-time performance on the remote server or the onboard computer. Furthermore, its accuracy on the DHG can surpass most state-of-the-art vision-based methods and is even better than most previous approaches based on head-mounted sensors.”

According to news originating from Beijing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “In order to enhance application scenarios and increase the proportion of industrial robots in the field of drilling composites, the damage caused by carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer robotic drilling is studied.” Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from AVIC Manufacturing Technology Institute: “The shortcomings of the existing damage evaluation factors are analyzed, and new damage evaluation factors for carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer laminates made of unidirectional prepreg are proposed. A robot and a brad-and-spur drill were used to drill carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer laminates to study the influence of the process parameters on robotic drilling damage. Digital image correlation equipment and industrial computed tomography were used to study the formation process and the damage forms of the hole on the exit side with different process parameters. The test results show that delamination and tearing are significantly affected by the feed rate and spindle speed, while burrs are less affected by the cutting parameters. Appropriately increasing the spindle speed and reducing the feed rate are beneficial to reducing the comprehensive damage factor and improving the hole quality.”

    查看更多>>摘要:New research on Artificial Intelligence is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating in Calgary, Canada, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in medical research and is garnering increased attention in the public consciousness. This represents a critical time period in which medical researchers, healthcare providers, insurers, regulatory agencies, and patients are all developing and shaping their beliefs and policies regarding the use of AI in the healthcare sector.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Calgary, “The successful deployment of AI will require support from all these groups. This commentary proposes that widespread support for medical AI must be driven by clear and transparent scientific reporting, beginning at the earliest stages of scientific research. A review of relevant guidelines and literature describing how scientific reporting plays a central role at key stages in the life cycle of an AI software product was conducted. To contextualize this principle within a specific medical domain, we discuss the current state of predictive tissue outcome modeling in acute ischemic stroke and the unique challenges presented therein. Translating AI methods from the research to the clinical domain is complicated by challenges related to model design and validation studies, medical product regulations, and healthcare providers’ reservations regarding AI’s efficacy and affordability. However, each of these limitations is also an opportunity for high-impact research that will help to accelerate the clinical adoption of state-of-the-art medical AI.”

    New Findings from Shanghai University Describe Advances in Cyborg and Bionic Systems (Camera-Radar Fusion with Modality Interaction and Radar Gaussian Expansion for 3D Object Detection)

    查看更多>>摘要:Researchers detail new data in cyborg and bionic systems. According to news reporting out of Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “The fusion of millimeterwave radar and camera modalities is crucial for improving the accuracy and completeness of 3-dimensional (3D) object detection.” Financial supporters for this research include Shanghai Sailing Program; National Natural Science Foundation of China. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Shanghai University: “Most existing methods extract features from each modality separately and conduct fusion with specifically designed modules, potentially resulting in information loss during modality transformation. To address this issue, we propose a novel framework for 3D object detection that iteratively updates radar and camera features through an interaction module. This module serves a dual purpose by facilitating the fusion of multimodal data while preserving the original features. Specifically, radar and image features are sampled and aggregated with a set of sparse 3D object queries, while retaining the integrity of the original radar features to prevent information loss. Additionally, an innovative radar augmentation technique named Radar Gaussian Expansion is proposed. This module allocates radar measurements within each voxel to neighboring ones as a Gaussian distribution, reducing association errors during projection and enhancing detection accuracy.”

The clinicopathological data and 30-d postoperative complications of gastric cancer patients were collected. Three machine learning methods, lasso regression, random forest, and artificial neural networks, were used to construct postoperative complication prediction models for laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and laparoscopic total gastrectomy, and their prediction efficacy and accuracy were evaluated. The constructed complication model, particularly the random forest model, could better predict serious complications in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. It exhibited stable performance in external validation and is worthy of further promotion in more centers. Using the risk factors identified in multicenter datasets, highly sensitive risk prediction models for complications following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were established.”

    Research from University of Koblenz-Landau Yields New Data on Machine Learning (Can Data and Machine Learning Change the Future of Basic Income Models? A Bayesian Belief Networks Approach)

    83-84页
    查看更多>>摘要:Data detailed on artificial intelligence have been presented. According to news reporting out of Koblenz, Germany, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Appeals to governments for implementing basic income are contemporary.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University of Koblenz-Landau: “The theoretical backgrounds of the basic income notion only prescribe transferring equal amounts to individuals irrespective of their specific attributes. However, the most recent basic income initiatives all around the world are attached to certain rules with regard to the attributes of the households. This approach is facing significant challenges to appropriately recognize vulnerable groups.” According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “A possible alternative for setting rules with regard to the welfare attributes of the households is to employ artificial intelligence algorithms that can process unprecedented amounts of data. Can integrating machine learning change the future of basic income by predicting households vulnerable to future poverty? In this paper, we utilize multidimensional and longitudinal welfare data comprising one and a half million individuals’ data and a Bayesian beliefs network approach to examine the feasibility of predicting households’ vulnerability to future poverty based on the existing households’ welfare attributes.”
