Photon-counting computed tomography in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: correlation of iodine concentration with histopathological and clinical parameters.

Enhancing Communication Security in Drones Using QRNG in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing the security and reliability of drone communications through the integration of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) systems. We propose a mult...

Bias and Fairness in Natural Language Processing

Recent advances in data-driven machine learning techniques (e.g., deep neural networks) have revolutionized many natural language processing applications. These approaches automatically learn how to make decisions based on the statistics an...

A bibliometric analysis of natural language processing in medical research

BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) has become an increasingly significant role in advancing medicine. Rich research achievements of NLP methods and applications for medical information processing are available. It is of great sig...

Economic Activity Forecasting Based on the Sentiment Analysis of News

The outbreak of war and the earlier and ongoing COVID-19 pandemic determined the need for real-time monitoring of economic activity. The economic activity of a country can be defined in different ways. Most often, the country’s economic act...

Improving Web Readability Using Video Content: A Relevance-Based Approach

With the increasing integration of multimedia elements into webpages, videos have emerged as a popular medium for enhancing user engagement and knowledge retention. However, irrelevant or poorly placed videos can hinder readability and dist...

Digital footprints as a tool to evaluate the spatiotemporal environmental impacts of grocery shopping across Great Britain

Introduction & Background Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Within this context, the food sector is a critical domain for intervention, accounting for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas...

Using 311 data to develop an algorithm to identify urban blight for public health improvement.

The growth of administrative data made available publicly, often in near-real time, offers new opportunities for monitoring conditions that impact community health. Urban blight-manifestations of adverse social processes in the urban enviro...

Study on Building Business-oriented Resource On-demand Resolution Model

To address the issue of re-analyzing and repeating development of natural language processing tools and resource ana-lysis plugins when new requirements arise during project development,this paper proposes a business-oriented on-demand reso...

A new image similarity metric for a perceptual and transparent geometric and chromatic assessment

Abstract Full-reference image quality assessment metrics such as PSNR and SSIM misalign with human perceptual judgments on texture and shape distortions, a limitation documented across multiple benchmarks. Deep perceptual metrics such as LP...

ILSA: an automated language complexity analysis tool for French

Estimating language complexity is an important aspect of educational measurement and assessment that can be used, for instance, to control for unwanted variance due to language, or to provide students with texts that are conducive to learni...

Exploring Scientific Outputs about Globalization: A Conceptual Framework Study

IntroductionBibliometric analysis is widely acknowledged as a robust and systematic approach for examining extensive scholarly literature. It serves as a vital tool for mapping the landscape of contemporary research across various academic ...

Link Predictions with Bi-Level Routing Attention

Background/Objectives: Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are often incomplete, which can significantly impact the performance of downstream applications. Manual completion of KGs is time-consuming and costly, emphasizing the importance of developing a...

Cross-modal correlations in ensemble averaging across vision, audition, and touch.

Culling Double Counting in Sequence Images for Fruit Yield Estimation

Exact yield estimation of fruits on plants guaranteed fine and timely decisions on harvesting and marketing practices. Automatic yield estimation based on unmanned agriculture offers a viable solution for large orchards. Recent years have w...

Estimating Black Oat Biomass Using Digital Surface Models and a Vegetation Index Derived from RGB-Based Aerial Images

Responsible for food production and industry inputs, agriculture needs to adapt to worldwide increasing demands and environmental requirements. In this scenario, black oat has gained environmental and economic importance since it can be use...

Fruit freshness detection based on multi-task convolutional neural network

Background: Fruit freshness detection by computer vision is essential for many agricultural applications, e.g., automatic harvesting and supply chain monitoring. This paper proposes to use the multi-task learning (MTL) paradigm to build a d...

Cross-Correlation-Based Structural System Identification Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Computer vision techniques have been employed to characterize dynamic properties of structures, as well as to capture structural motion for system identification purposes. All of these methods leverage image-processing techniques using a st...

Repurposing a commercial artificial intelligence vision platform for automated surgical instrument identification: a proof-of-concept study

Abstract Background Retained surgical items are classified as never events but continue to occur, and the count meant to prevent them is often recorded as correct even when an item is retained. Computer vision could provide an independent c...

Early Termination of CU Partition Based on Boosting Neural Network for 3D-HEVC Inter-Coding

As an extension of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, the 3D-HEVC needs to encode multiple texture videos and depth maps components. In the 3D-HEVC inter-coding test model, a large variety of Coding Unit (CU) sizes are adopte...
