    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 originating from Toulouse, Fr ance, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Can we use data on the biograp hies of historical figures to estimate the GDP per capita of countries and regio ns? Here, we introduce a machine learning method to estimate the GDP per capita of dozens of countries and hundreds of regions in Europe and North America for the past seven centuries starting from data on the places of birth, death, and oc cupations of hundreds of thousands of historical figures. We build an elastic ne t regression model to perform feature selection and generate out-of-sample estim ates that explain 90 % of the variance in known historical income l evels." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Toulo use, "We use this model to generate GDP per capita estimates for countries, regi ons, and time periods for which these data are not available and externAlly vali date our estimates by comparing them with four proxies of economic output: urban ization rates in the past 500 y, body height in the 18 century, well-being in 18 50, and church building activity in the 14 and 15 century. AdditionAlly, we show our estimates reproduce the well-known reversal of fortune between southwestern and northwestern Europe between 1300 and 1800 and find this is largely driven b y countries and regions engaged in Atlantic trade. These findings validate the u se of fine-grained biographical data as a method to augment historical GDP per c apita estimates."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Cardiovascular Disease s and Conditions - Venous Thromboembolism is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "We developed a predictive model to assess the risk of major bleeding (MB) within 6 months of primary venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients receiving anti coagulant treatment. We also sought to describe the prevalence and incidence of VTE in cancer patients, and to describe clinical characteristics at baseline and bleeding events during follow-up in patients receiving anticoagulants." Financial support for this research came from BMS-Pfizer Alliance. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Hospital General Un iversitario Gregorio Maranon, "This observational, retrospective, and multicente r study used natural language processing and machine learning (ML), to analyze u nstructured clinical data from electronic health records from nine Spanish hospi tals between 2014 and 2018. All adult cancer patients with VTE receiving anticoa gulants were included. Both clinicAlly- and ML-driven feature selection was perf ormed to identify MB predictors. Logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), a nd random forest (RF) algorithms were used to train predictive models, which wer e validated in a hold-out dataset and compared to the previously developed CAT-B LEED score. Of the 2,893,108 cancer patients screened, in-hospital VTE prevalenc e was 5.8% and the annual incidence ranged from 2.7 to 3.9% . We identified 21,227 patients with active cancer and VTE receiving anticoagula nts (53.9% men, median age of 70 years). MB events after VTE diagn osis occurred in 10.9% of patients within the first six months. MB predictors included: hemoglobin, metastasis, age, platelets, leukocytes, and se rum creatinine. The LR, DT, and RF models had AUC-ROC (95% confide nce interval) values of 0.60 (0.55, 0.65), 0.60 (0.55, 0.65), and 0.61 (0.56, 0. 66), respectively. These models outperformed the CAT-BLEED score with values of 0.53 (0.48, 0.59)."

    Studies from Beijing Institute of Technology Further Understanding of Robotics ( W-VSLAM: A Visual Mapping Algorithm for Indoor Inspection Robots)

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-Data detailed on robotics have been presented. Ac cording to news reporting from Beijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx jo urnalists, research stated, "In recent years, with the widespread application of indoor inspection robots, high-precision, robust environmental perception has b ecome essential for robotic mapping." The news editors obtained a quote from the research from Beijing Institute of Te chnology: "Addressing the issues of visual-inertial estimation inaccuracies due to redundant pose degrees of freedom and accelerometer drift during the planar m otion of mobile robots in indoor environments, we propose a visual SLAM percepti on method that integrates wheel odometry information. First, the robot's body po se is parameterized in SE(2) and the corresponding camera pose is parameterized in SE(3). On this basis, we derive the visual constraint residuals and their Jac obian matrices for reprojection observations using the camera projection model. We employ the concept of pre-integration to derive pose-constraint residuals and their Jacobian matrices and utilize marginalization theory to derive the relati ve pose residuals and their Jacobians for loop closure constraints. This approac h solves the nonlinear optimization problem to obtain the optimal pose and landm ark points of the ground-moving robot. A comparison with the ORBSLAM3 algorithm reveals that, in the recorded indoor environment datasets, the proposed algorith m demonstrates significantly higher perception accuracy, with root mean square e rror (RMSE) improvements of 89.2% in translation and 98.5% in rotation for absolute trajectory error (ATE)."

    University of British Columbia Reports Findings in Machine Learning (Predictive modelling of Immunogenicity to Botulinumtoxin A Treatments for Glabellar Lines)

    45-46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 originating from Vancouver, C anada, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A), d erived from Clostridium botulinum, is widely used in medical and aesthetic treat ments. Its clinical application extends from managing chronic conditions like ce rvical dystonia and migraine to reducing facial wrinkles." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Briti sh Columbia, "Despite its efficacy, a significant chAllenge associated with BoNT -A therapy is immunogenicity, where the immune system produces neutralising anti bodies (NAbs) against BoNT-A, reducing its effectiveness over time. This issue i s critical for patients requiring repeated treatments. The study aims to compare FDA-approved BoNT-A products, examining the factors influencing NAbs developmen t using advanced machine learning techniques. This research analysed data from r andomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving five main BoNT-A products. The stud y selected trials based on detailed immunogenic responses to these treatments, p articularly for glabellar lines. Machine learning models, including logistic reg ression, random forest classifiers, and Bayesian logistic regression, were emplo yed to assess how treatment specifics and BoNT-A product types affect the develo pment of NAbs. Analysis of 14 studies with 8,190 participants revealed that dosa ge and treatment frequency are key factors influencing the risk of NAbs developm ent. Among BoNT-A products, IncobotulinumtoxinA shows the lowest, and Abobotulin umtoxinA the highest likelihood of inducing NAbs. The study's machine learning a nd logistic regression findings indicated that treatment planning must consider these variables to minimise immunogenicity. The study underscores the importance of understanding BoNT-A immunogenicity in clinical practice. By identifying the main predictors of NAbs development and differentiating the immunogenic potenti al of BoNT-A products, the research provides insights for clinicians in optimisi ng treatment strategies."

According to news reporting from Yale Universi ty by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Retrosynthesis, the strategy of devi sing laboratory pathways by working backwards from the target compound, is cruci al yet chAllenging." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Yale University: "Enhan cing retrosynthetic efficiency requires overcoming the vast complexity of chemic al space, the limited known interconversions between molecules, and the chAlleng es posed by limited experimental datasets. This study introduces generative mach ine learning methods for retrosynthetic planning. The approach features three in novations: generating reaction templates instead of reactants or synthons to cre ate novel chemical transformations, Allowing user selection of specific bonds to change for human-influenced synthesis, and employing a conditional kernel-elast ic autoencoder (CKAE) to measure the similarity between generated and known reac tions for chemical viability insights. These features form a coherent retrosynth etic framework, validated experimentAlly by designing a 3-step synthetic pathway for a chAllenging smAll molecule, demonstrating a significant improvement over previous 5-9 step approaches."
