According to news reporting originating in Goiania , Brazil, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "To evaluate the diagnostic ca pability of artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting and classifying odontogen ic cysts and tumors, with special emphasis on odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and a meloblastoma. Nine electronic databases and the gray literature were examined." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Federal University Go ias, "Humanbased studies using AI algorithms to detect or classify odontogenic cysts and tumors by using panoramic radiographs or CBCT were included. Diagnosti c tests were evaluated, and a meta-analysis was performed for classifying OKCs a nd ameloblastomas. Heterogeneity, risk of bias, and certainty of evidence were e valuated. Twelve studies concluded that AI is a promising tool for the detection and/or classification of lesions, producing high diagnostic test values. Three articles assessed the sensitivity of convolutional neural networks in classifyin g similar lesions using panoramic radiographs, specifically OKC and ameloblastom a. The accuracy was 0.893 (95% CI 0.832-0.954). AI applied to cone beam computed tomography produced superior accuracy based on only 4 studies. Th e results revealed heterogeneity in the models used, variations in imaging exami nations, and discrepancies in the presentation of metrics. AI tools exhibited a relatively high level of accuracy in detecting and classifying OKC and ameloblas toma. Panoramic radiography appears to be an accurate method for AI-based classi fication of these lesions, albeit with a low level of certainty."

The robot can be reassembled into different configurations suitabl e for various task requirements. A vision-based docking system is designed for t he AHIMR. The system primarily consists of two stages: a remote guidance stage a nd a precise docking stage. During the remote guidance stage, an object module i s identified using an illumination adaptive target recognition algorithm, and th en the active module moves to the docking area through communication with ZigBee . In the precise docking stage, the active module calculates the relative pose w ith the object module using a perspective-n-point method and dynamically adjusts its posture to dock. In this process, a Kalman filter is used to reduce target occlusion and jitter interference. In addition, the docking system feasibility i s verified via several simulation experiments. The module docking accuracy is co ntrolled within 0.01 m, which meets the reconfiguration task requirements of the AHIMR."

    Research from University of Alberta Has Provided New Study Findings on Machine L earning (Application of the Machine Learning Method to Determine Spring Load Lim its and Winter Weight Premium)

    83-84页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A new study on artificial intelligence is now available. According to news originating from Edmonton, Canada, by NewsR x correspondents, research stated, "Freight transportation plays a crucial role in sustaining the Canadian economy." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University of Alber ta: "However, heavy truck transportation also puts enormous pressure on roadway networks. Spring Load Restrictions (SLR) are implemented to minimize road damage caused by heavy traffic during the thaw-weakening season, and Winter Weight Pre mium (WWP) is used to reduce the impact of SLR on trucking operations by allowin g higher axle loads in winter. However, existing policies apply fixed dates each year for these restrictions, regardless of the actual structural capacity of th e pavement. Different methods have been proposed to improve the application of S LR and WWP; however, they rely mainly on indirect indices, such as the cumulativ e thawing index and cumulative freezing index, which pose challenges in their ca lculation. This study explores the practical implementation of machine learning models for accurately determining the start and end dates of SLR and WWP. In a n ovel approach, machine learning models directly derive the start and end dates o f SLR and WWP from frost and thaw depths in the pavement structure which are det ermined by pavement temperature and moisture content."
