    48-49页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Machine Learning is th e subject of a report. According to news reporting from Beijing, People's Republ ic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for the global carbon cycle and environmentally sustainable development . Meanwhile, the fast, convenient remote sensing technology has become one of th e notable means to monitor SOC content." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from China Agricultur al University, "Nowadays, limitations are found in the inversion of SOC content with high-precision and complex spatial relationships based on scarce ground sam ple points. It is restrained by the spatial difference in the relationship betwe en SOC content and remote sensing spectra due to the problem of different spectr a for the same substance and the influence of topographic and environment (e.g. vegetation and climate). In this regard, the two-point machine learning (TPML) m ethod, which can overcome above problems and deal with complex spatial heterogen eity of relationships between SOC and remote sensing spectra, was used to invert the SOC content in Hailun County, Heilongjiang Province, combined with derived variables from Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, topography and environment. Based on 10-f old cross-validation and t-test, results indicated that the TPML method boasts t he highest inversion accuracy, followed by random forest, gradient boosting regr ession tree, partial least squares regression and support vector machine. The av erage r, MAE, RMSE, and RPD of TPML were 0.854, 0.384 %, 0.558 % , and 1.918. Further, the TPML method has been proven to be equal to evaluating the uncertainty of inversion results, by comparing the actual and theoretical er ror of the inversion result in one subset. The spatial inversion result of SOC c ontent with 10 m resolution by TPML is smoother and has more real details than o ther models, which are consistent with the distribution of SOC content in differ ent land use types."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in Artificial Intelligence. According to news originating from Rome, Italy, by News Rx correspondents, research stated, "Gaining clinicians' trust will unleash the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, and explaining AI de cisions is seen as the way to build trustworthy systems. However, explainable ar tificial intelligence (XAI) methods in medicine often lack a proper evaluation." Financial support for this research came from HORIZON EUROPE Health. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from San Raffaele Roma O pen University, "In this paper, we present our evaluation methodology for XAI me thods using forward simulatability. We define the Forward Simulatability Score ( FSS) and analyze its limitations in the context of clinical predictors. Then, we applied FSS to our XAI approach defined over an ML-RO, a machine learning clini cal predictor based on random optimization over a multiple kernel support vector machine (SVM) algorithm.To Compare FSS values before and after the explanation phase, we test our evaluation methodology for XAI methods on three clinical dat asets, namely breast cancer, VTE, and migraine. The ML-RO system is a good model on which to test our XAI evaluation strategy based on the FSS. Indeed, ML-RO ou tperforms two other base models-a decision tree (DT) and a plain SVM-in the thre e datasets and gives the possibility of defining different XAI models: TOPK, MIG F, and F4G. The FSS evaluation score suggests that the explanation method F4G fo r the ML-RO is the most effective in two datasets out of the three tested, and i t shows the limits of the learned model for one dataset. Our study aims to intro duce a standard practice for evaluating XAI methods in medicine."

According to news originating from Madhya Pradesh, India, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Precisely determining the thickness of soil, w hich is an essential parameter in environmental modelling, presents difficulties when applied to heterogenic large-scale areas. Current prediction models primar ily concentrate on shallow soil depths and lack comprehensive spatial coverage." Financial support for this research came from Department of Science & Technology (India). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Indian Institut e of Technology (IIT) Indore, "This study addresses this limitation by presentin g the results of soil thickness assessment along three important roads in the Jo shimath region (Indian Himalaya). Three different methods were examined incorpor ating geological and geomorphological data as input to obtain soil thickness map s: (1) a customized version of the conventional geomorphologically indexed soil thickness (GIST) model, modified specifically for the peculiarities of the resea rch area, (2) the GIST model enhanced by Monte Carlo simulations (GIST-MCS), and (3) the random forest (RF) algorithm integrated with the GIST model (GIST-RF). By quantifying their errors and conducting validation using geophysical tests, t he effectiveness of the models was assessed. Moreover, a critical comparison of the results provided useful insights to understand the peculiarities of the test site and how to adapt the site-specific customization of the models to the loca l features. The results indicate that the GIST model inadequately accounted for the substantial spatial variations in soil thickness observed across the study a rea."

    University of Bath Reports Findings in Machine Learning (Assessing the anticholi nergic cognitive burden classification of putative anticholinergic drugs using d rug properties)

    54-55页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Machine Learning is th e subject of a report. According to news originating from Bath, United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "This study evaluated the use of mach ine learning to leverage drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) data together with physicochemical and pharmacological data to develop a novel anticholinergic burden scale and compare its performance to previously pu blished scales. Experimental and in silico ADME, physicochemical and pharmacolog ical data were collected for antimuscarinic activity, blood-brain barrier penetr ation, bioavailability, chemical structure and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate p rofile." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of B ath, "These five drug properties were used to train an unsupervised model to ass ign anticholinergic burden scores to drugs. The model performance was evaluated through 10-fold cross-validation and compared with the clinical Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) scale and nonclinical Anticholinergic Toxicity Scores (AT S) scale, which is based primarily on muscarinic binding affinity. In silico sof tware (ADMET Predictor) used for screening drugs for their blood-brain barrier ( BBB) penetration correctly identified some drugs that do not cross the BBB. The mean area under the curve for the unsupervised and ACB scale based on the five s elected variables was 0.76 and 0.64, respectively. The unsupervised model agreed with the ACB scale on the classification of more than half of the drugs (49 of 88) agreed on the classification of less than half the drugs in the ATS scale (1 2 of 25). Our findings suggest that the commonly used ACB scale may misclassify certain drugs due to their inability to cross the BBB. By contrast, the ATS scal e would misclassify drugs solely depending on muscarinic binding affinity withou t considering other drug properties."
