According to news reporting out of Chengdu, Peop le's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Thyroid cancer (TC) prone to cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis both before and after surgery. Ul trasonography (US) is the first-line imaging method for evaluating the thyroid g land and CLNs." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Sichuan University, "However, this assessment relies mainly on the subjective judgment of the sonog rapher and is very much dependent on the sonographer's experience. This prospect ive study was designed to construct a machine learning model based on contrast-e nhanced ultrasound (CEUS) videos of CLNs to predict the risk of CLN metastasis i n patients with TC. Patients who were proposed for surgical treatment due to TC from August 2019 to May 2020 were prospectively included. All patients underwent US of CLNs suspected of metastasis, and a 2- minute imaging video was recorded. After target tracking, feature extraction, and feature selection through the lym ph node imaging video, three machine learning models, namely, support vector mac hine, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and decision tree (DT), were construct ed, and the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of each model for diagnosing lymph nodes were calculated by leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV). A total o f 75 lymph nodes were included in the study, with 42 benign cases and 33 maligna nt cases. Among the machine learning models constructed, the support vector mach ine had the best diagnostic efficacy, with a sensitivity of 93.0%, a specificity of 93.8%, and an accuracy of 93.3%."

    Findings from Beijing Jiaotong University in the Area of Machine Learning Descri bed (Machine Learning Based Laser Homogenization Method)

    52-53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 Machine Learning is now available. According to news reporting originating from Beijing, People's Repub lic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Laser is widely used i n various fields such as laser processing, optical imaging, and optical trapping due to its high monochromaticity, directionality, and high energy density. Howe ver, the beam generated by the laser is a Gaussian beam with non-uniform distrib ution of optical energy, and this non-uniform distribution affects the interacti on between the laser and the matter." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China (NSFC). Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Beijing Jiaotong Univer sity, "Therefore, it is necessary to reshape the Gaussian beam into homogenized light spots with uniform distribution of optical energy. Laser beam homogenizati on method aims to change the spatial distribution of the Gaussian beam, precisel y controlling the shape and intensity of the laser beam to achieve homogenized l ight spots. However, the existing laser beam homogenization methods encounter so me problems such as complicated component preparation and poor flexibility. They also fail to address experimental errors caused by stray light and zero-order l ight interference, leading to discrepancies between the experimental results and the expected results. These limitations seriously restrict the widespread appli cation of laser technology in various fields. A laser homogenization method base d on machine learning is proposed for spatial light modulator (SLM) laser homoge nization in this work. The preliminary approach to laser homogenization is to ge nerate a phase hologram by using the Gerchberg-Saxton (G-S) algorithm and modula te the incident light beam into homogenized light spots by using an SLM. However , the inherent homogenization error of the SLM prevents laser homogenization fro m improving uniformity. The machine learning method is proposed as a means of co mpensating for homogenization errors, thereby improving the uniformity of the li ght spot. The corresponding supervised learning regression task on the experimen tal dataset establishes mapping relationships between the homogenization target images and the experimental detection images. The results of homogenization erro r compensation are validated through experiments. Compared with the traditional SLM laser homogenization methods, the proposed method reduces the non-uniformity of the light spot by 13%. The laser homogenization method based on machine learning is an efficient way to achieve laser beam homogenization. The proposed laser beam homogenization method can serve as a reference for machine l earning-based method. This method possesses significant technical value for lase r applications such as laser processing, optical imaging, and optical manipulati on."

    Findings from Anhui University Yields New Data on Computational Intelligence (A Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search for Capacit ated Electric Vehicle Routing Problems)

    53-54页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Researchers detail new data in Machine Learning - Computational Intelligence. According to news reporting out of Hefei , People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "The Capacitat ed Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (CEVRP) poses a novel chAllenge within the Field of vehicle routing optimization, as it requires consideration of both custo mer service requirements and electric vehicle recharging schedules. In addressin g the CEVRP, Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search (ALNS) has garnered widespread a cclaim due to its remarkable adaptability and versatility." Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China ( NSFC), Natural Science Foundation of Anhui Province. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Anhui University, " However, the original ALNS, using a weight-based scoring method, relies solely o n the past performances of operators to determine their weights, thereby failing to capture crucial information about the ongoing search process. Moreover, it o ften employs a fixed single charging strategy for the CEVRP, neglecting the pote ntial impact of alternative charging strategies on solution improvement. Therefo re, this study treats the selection of operators as a Markov Decision Process and introduces a novel approach based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) for ope rator selection. This approach enables adaptive selection of both destroy and re pair operators, alongside charging strategies, based on the current state of the search process. More specificAlly, a state extraction method is devised to extr act features not only from the problem itself but also from the solutions genera ted during the iterative process. AdditionAlly, a novel reward function is desig ned to guide the DRL network in selecting an appropriate operator portfolio for the CEVRP. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm excels i n instances with fewer than 100 customers, achieving the best values in 7 out of 8 test instances."

    Tsinghua University Reports Findings in Sepsis (Prediction of sepsis within 24 h ours at the triage stage in emergency departments using machine learning)

    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 Blood Diseases and Con ditions - Sepsis is the subject of a report. According to news reporting origina ting from Beijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, researc h stated, "Sepsis is one of the main causes of mortality in intensive care units (ICUs). Early prediction is critical for reducing injury." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Tsinghua University, "A s approximately 36 % of sepsis occur within 24 h after emergency de partment (ED) admission in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV ), a prediction system for the ED triage stage would be helpful. Previous method s such as the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) are more suitabl e for screening than for prediction in the ED, and we aimed to find a light-weig ht, convenient prediction method through machine learning. We accessed the MIMIC -IV for sepsis patient data in the EDs. Our dataset comprised demographic inform ation, vital signs, and synthetic features. Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) was used to predict the risk of developing sepsis within 24 h after ED admission . AdditionAlly, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was employed to provide a c omprehensive interpretation of the model's results. Ten percent of the patients were randomly selected as the testing set, while the remaining patients were use d for training with 10-fold cross-validation. For 10-fold cross-validation on 14 ,957 samples, we reached an accuracy of 84.1%±0.3% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.92±0.02. The model achieved similar performance on the testing set of 1,662 patients. SHA P values showed that the five most important features were acuity, arrival trans portation, age, shock index, and respiratory rate. Machine learning models such as XGBoost may be used for sepsis prediction using only a smAll amount of data c onveniently collected in the ED triage stage."
