According to news reporting originating from Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Multimodal communication is a human feature that enables diverse interactions. In human-robot interaction (HRI), ro bots have to communicate using human skills so that they can seem natural and as sist effectively.” Financial supporters for this research include MCIN/AEI, ERDF A way of making Eu rope, European Union (EU), Mejora del nivel de madurez tecnologica del robot Min i (MeNiR) - MCIN/AEI, Portable Social Robot with high level of Engagement (PoSoR o) - MCIN/AEI. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Carlo s III Madrid, “Most research uses predefined gestures to equip robots with socia l abilities. However, researchers scarcely consider generating bioinspired invol untary behavior to improve a robot’s expressiveness and communication. Human stu dies revealed that involuntary behavior affects how others perceive communicativ e intentions. Therefore, mimicking human involuntary behavior may positively aff ect HRI. This article extends our previous work on equipping robots with involun tary behavior with a user study that evaluates the use of bioinspiration for com plementing gestures. A preliminary test is conducted with 15 participants to det ermine if they can perceive the intensities of the involuntary processes heart r ate, pupil size, blink rate, breathing rate, and motor activity. 63 new particip ants interacted with a robot with bioinspired behaviors or a robot only showing predefined gestures to evaluate the robots’ warmth, competence, and discomfort. The results show that the preliminary test participants differentiated the inten sities of the involuntary processes. Participants in the second study find the r obot with bioinspired behaviors significantly warmer and more competent than the robot with predefined gestures, with no discomfort difference.”

According to news reporting from Hefei, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The intelligently efficient, reliable, economical and portable onsite assay toward pyrethroid pesticides (PPs ) residues is critical for food safety analysis and environmental pollution trac eability. Here, a fluorescent nanozyme Cu- ATP@ [Ru(bpy)] with laccase-like activity was designed to develop a versatile machine learning- assisted colorimetric and fluorescence dual-modal assay for efficient onsite int elligent decision recognition and quantification of PPs residues.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Hefei Univer sity of Technology, “In the presence of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the laccase- like activity of Cu-ATP@ [Ru(bpy)] was enh anced to oxidize colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) into dark-yellow 2,3-diamino phenazine (DAP) via electron transfer, appearing a new yellow fluorescence at 55 0 nm. Meanwhile, the red fluorescence of Cu-ATP@ [Ru(bpy)] at 600 nm was quenched due to the internal filter effect (IFE) of DAP towards Cu -ATP@ [Ru(bpy)]. However, the selective in hibition of PPs toward ALP activity enabled to observe a dual-modal response of PPs concentration-dependent decrease in colorimetric signal and enhancement in t he fluorescence intensity ratio of F/F.”

According to news reporting from the University of Liver pool by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Our paper aims to explore how doct oral EdD students in their thesis stage made use of digital technologies, social media (SM), and artificial intelligence (AI) tools.” Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University of Li verpool: “In this study, AI does not involve data on the use of the new generati on of AI, which has been introduced in more recent years after this study took p lace. This paper refers to a 2nd stage qualitative analysis of semistructured i nterviews collected from research undertaken in 2018 into student use of digital technologies in an online professional doctorate programme. The original study utilised an exploratory case study approach, an online survey (n = 28), and a se ries of semi-structured interviews (n = 9). This study will add further qualitat ive findings and perspectives to those that emerged in the previous study. This study will help to provide new insights into the interview data that was used to inform the initial paper resulting from the research in 2018. We argue that the unique characteristics of online doctoral students as both individuals and lear ners determine the popularity of some digital tools and that, in order to make t he best use of the full range available they need to develop new skills and a be tter understanding of the pedagogy associated with those digital tools and the v alue they can add to an educational context.”

According to news originating from Zhoushan, Peop le’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Due to the i ncreasing impact of climate change and human activities on marine ecosystems, th ere is an urgent need to study marine water quality. The use of remote sensing f or water quality inversion offers a precise, timely, and comprehensive way to ev aluate the present state and future trajectories of water quality.” Financial supporters for this research include Science And Technology Bureau of Zhejiang. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang Ocean Univ ersity: “In this paper, a remote sensing inversion model utilizing machine learn ing was developed to evaluate water quality variations in the Ma’an Archipelago Marine Special Protected Area (MMSPA) over a long-time series of Landsat images. The concentrations of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), phosphate, and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the sea area from 2002 to 2022 were inverted and analyzed. Th e spatial and temporal characteristics of these variations were investigated. Th e results indicated that the random forest model could reliably predict Chl-a, p hosphate, and DIN concentrations in the MMSPA. Specifically, the inversion resul ts for Chl-a showed the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.741, the root mea n square error (RMSE) of 3.376 mg/L, and the mean absolute percentage error (MAP E) of 16.219%. Regarding spatial distribution, the concentrations o f these parameters were notably elevated in the nearshore zones, especially in t he northwest, contrasted with lower concentrations in the offshore and southeast areas. Predominantly, the nearshore regions with higher concentrations were in proximity to the aquaculture zones. Additionally, nutrients originating from lan d sources, transported via rivers such as the Yangtze River, as well as influenc ed by human activities, have shaped this nutrient distribution. Over the long te rm, the water quality in the MMSPA has shown considerable interannual fluctuatio ns during the past two decades.”

    Beijing University of Technology Reports Findings in Machine Learning (Unravelin g the determinants of traffic incident duration: A causal investigation using th e framework of causal forests with debiased machine learning)

    78-79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, “Predicting the duration of traffic incidents is challenging due to their stochastic nature. Accurate predi ctions can greatly benefit end-users by informing their route choices and safety warnings, while helping traffic operation managers more effectively manage non- recurrent traffic congestion and enhance road safety.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Beijing Univ ersity of Technology, “This study conducts a comprehensive causal analysis of tr affic incident duration using a data collected over a long time and including di fferent types of roads across the city of Tianjin, China. Employing the innovati ve framework of causal forests with biased machine learning (CF-DML) techniques, this study advances beyond traditional methods by focusing on interpreting the causal relationships between various factors and incident duration, emphasizing the role of heterogeneity among these factors. The CF-DML framework enables the assessment of the average treatment effects (ATEs) of various factors on inciden t duration. Notably, the significant influence of road type and suburban setting on treatment effects is underscored, which is generally consistent with the res ults obtained through classical methods. Second, to look more closely at the imp ortant factors such as road and collision types, a conditional average treatment effects (CATE) analysis is conducted, explaining heterogeneity through a causal heterogeneity tree. Third, based on insights from causal analysis, policies rel ated to lane configurations are explored, emphasizing the necessity of consideri ng causal effects in traffic management decisions.”
