According to news reporting out of Beijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Previous research has demonstrated t he influence of commensal dining between humans on food choices, whereas we cond ucted two studies to examine how the presence of a robot might influence people' s choices between meat-heavy and vegetable-forward meals in imaginary scenarios. In Study 1, participants were instructed to choose three desirable dishes from a set of two meat and two vegetable dishes while they imagined eating alone, wit h a human, or with a robot." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Tsinghua University , "Although the meat dishes were rated as more palatable and pleasant, the femal e participants chose fewer meat-heavy meals when eating alone or with a robot th an when eating with a human, whereas no such effect was observed for the male pa rticipants. We also replicated these patterns in Study 2, as the female particip ants chose fewer meat-heavy meals when eating with a robot and a human than when eating with two humans."

According to news reporting from Taipei, Taiwan, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Obstacle avoidance is essential for the effective operation of autonomous mobile robots, enabling them to detect and navigate around obstacles in their environment." Funders for this research include Ministry of Science And Technology, Taiwan. The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from National Taiwan Uni versity of Science and Technology: "While deep learning provides significant ben efits for autonomous navigation, it typically requires large, accurately labeled datasets, making the data's preparation and processing time-consuming and labor -intensive. To address this challenge, this study introduces atransfer learning (TL)-based automatic labeling segmentation (ALS) framework. This framework util izes a pretrained attention-based network, DifferNet, to efficiently perform sem antic segmentation tasks on new, unlabeled datasets. DifferNet leverages prior k nowledge from the Cityscapes dataset to identify high-entropy areas as road obst acles by analyzing differences between the input and resynthesized images. The r esulting road anomaly map was refined using depth information to produce a robus t drivable area and map of road anomalies. Several off-the-shelf RGB-D semantic segmentation neural networks were trained using pseudo-labels generated by the A LS framework, with validation conducted on the GMRPD dataset."

Financial supporters for this research include Telecom Paris, L'institut Polytec hnique De Paris, France. Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Telecom Paris: " We assume a single-user massive mmWave MIMO, Uplink, using a fully analog archit ecture. Assuming large-dimension codebooks of possible beam patterns at U E and B S , this data-driven and model-based approach aims to partially and blindly so und a small subset of beams from these codebooks. The proposed BA is blind (no C SI), based on Received Signal Energies (RSEs), and circumvents the need for exha ustively sounding all possible beams. A sub-sampled subset of beams is then used to train several ML models such as low-rank Matrix Factorization (MF), non-negative MF (NMF), and shallow Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). We provide an extensive mathematical description of these models and the algorithms for each of them. O ur extensive numerical results show that, by sounding only 10 % of the beams from the U E and B S codebooks, the proposed ML tools are able to acc urately predict the non-sounded beams through multiple transmitted power regimes ."

According to news reporting out of Tamil Nadu, India, by NewsRx ed itors, research stated, "Federated learning is an upcoming concept used widely i n distributed machine learning. Federated learning (FL) allows a large number of users to learn a single machine learning model together while the training data is stored on individual user devices." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the PSG College of Technology, "Nonetheless, federated learning lessens threats to data privacy. Ba sed on iterative model averaging, our study suggests a feasible technique for th e federated learning of deep networks with improved security and privacy. We als o undertake athorough empirical evaluation while taking various FL frameworks a nd averaging algorithms into consideration. Secure multi party computation, secu re aggregation, and differential privacy are implemented to improve the security and privacy in a federated learning environment. In spite of advancements, conc erns over privacy remain in FL, as the weights or parameters of atrained model may reveal private information about the data used for training. Our work demons trates that FL can be prone to label-flipping attack and a novel method to preve nt label-flipping attack has been proposed. We compare standard federated model aggregation and optimization methods, FedAvg and FedProx using benchmark data se ts. Experiments are implemented in two different FL frameworks-Flower and PySy ft and the results are analyzed. Our experiments confirm that classification acc uracy increases in FL framework over a centralized model and the model performan ce is better after adding all the security and privacy algorithms."

According to news originating from Hubei, People's Republic of China , by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Tunnels represent complex, highrisk, and technically demanding underground construction projects. The safety of cons truction workers in tunnels is influenced by various factors, including physiolo gical indicators, tunnel dimensions, and internal environmental conditions." Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Wuhan University of S cience and Technology: "Analyzing safety based solely on static factors is inade quate for modern tunnel engineering safety management requirements. To address t his challenge, this paper provides a comprehensive analysis of factors impacting safety and employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to identify seven signi ficant factors with high importance: body temperature, heart rate, internal temp erature, internal humidity, CO concentration, chlorine concentration, and the re lative positioning of personnel. Considering these factors essential for assessi ng worker safety, we introduce a novel model named Tunnel-APH-AD. For training m odels aimed at anomaly detection, we performed data augmentation and utilized fo ur distinct machine learning models. Additionally, ensemble learning techniques were applied to aggregate the predictions from individual models, thereby enhanc ing the effectiveness of detecting safety states for tunnel workers. We also eva luated the performance of these models on out-of-distribution (OOD) samples to t est their robustness and generalizability. The experimental results indicate that, under similar ventilation and tunnel conditions, the ensemble learning model exhibits superior overall performance compared to individual models, underscorin g the effectiveness of model combination in improving the accuracy and reliabili ty of safety alerts."
