To conduct a computational investigation to explore the influence of clinical reference uncertainty on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics feature selection, modelling, and performance. This study used two sets of publicly available prostate cancer MRI = radiomics data (Dataset 1: n = 260; Dataset 2: n = 100) with Gleason score clinical references. Each dataset was divided into training and holdout testing datasets at a ratio of 7:3 and analysed independently. The clinical references of the training set were permuted at different levels (increments of 5%) and repeated 20 times. Four feature selection algorithms and two classifiers were used to construct the models. Cross-validation was employed for training, while a separate hold-out testing set was used for evaluation. The Jaccard similarity coefficient was used to evaluate feature selection, while the area under the curve (AUC) and accuracy were used to assess model performance. An analysis of variance test with Bonferroni correction was conducted to compare the metrics of each model. The consistency of the feature selection performance decreased substantially with the clinical reference permutation. AUCs of the trained models with permutation particularly after 20% were significantly lower (Dataset 1 (with ≥ 20% permutation): 0.67, and Dataset 2 (≥ 20% permutation): 0.74), compared to the AUC of models without permutation (Dataset 1: 0.94, Dataset 2: 0.97). The performances of the models were also associated with larger uncertainties and an increasing number of permuted clinical references. Clinical reference uncertainty can substantially influence MRI radiomic feature selection and modelling. The high accuracy of clinical references should be helpful in building reliable and robust radiomic models. Careful interpretation of the model performance is necessary, particularly for high-dimensional data.

This survey examines the evolution and impact of real-time brainmedia on artistic exploration, contextualizing developments within a historical framework. To enhance knowledge on the entanglement between the brain, mind, and body in an increasingly mediated world, this work defines a clear scope at the intersection of bio art and interactive art, concentrating on real-time brainmedia artworks developed in the 21st century. It proposes a set of criteria and a taxonomy based on historical notions, interaction dynamics, and media art representations. The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of real-time brainmedia, setting the stage for future explorations of new paradigms in communication between humans, machines, and the environment.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based radiomics has attracted considerable research attention in the field of medical imaging, including ultrasound diagnosis. Ultrasound imaging has unique advantages such as high temporal resolution, low cost, and no radiation exposure. This renders it a preferred imaging modality for several clinical scenarios. This review includes a detailed introduction to imaging modalities, including Brightness-mode ultrasound, color Doppler flow imaging, ultrasound elastography, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and multi-modal fusion analysis. It provides an overview of the current status and prospects of AI-based radiomics in ultrasound diagnosis, highlighting the application of AI-based radiomics to static ultrasound images, dynamic ultrasound videos, and multi-modal ultrasound fusion analysis.

Waste pollution is a significant environmental problem worldwide. With the continuous improvement in the living standards of the population and increasing richness of the consumption structure, the amount of domestic waste generated has increased dramatically, and there is an urgent need for further treatment. The rapid development of artificial intelligence has provided an effective solution for automated waste classification. However, the high computational power and complexity of algorithms make convolutional neural networks unsuitable for real-time embedded applications. In this paper, we propose a lightweight network architecture called Focus-RCNet, designed with reference to the sandglass structure of MobileNetV2, which uses deeply separable convolution to extract features from images. The Focus module is introduced to the field of recyclable waste image classification to reduce the dimensionality of features while retaining relevant information. To make the model focus more on waste image features while keeping the number of parameters small, we introduce the SimAM attention mechanism. In addition, knowledge distillation was used to further compress the number of parameters in the model. By training and testing on the TrashNet dataset, the Focus-RCNet model not only achieved an accuracy of 92[Formula: see text] but also showed high deployment mobility.

Obtaining a 3D feature description with high descriptiveness and robustness under complicated nuisances is a significant and challenging task in 3D feature matching. This paper proposes a novel feature description consisting of a stable local reference frame (LRF) and a feature descriptor based on local spatial voxels. First, an improved LRF was designed by incorporating distance weights into Z- and X-axis calculations. Subsequently, based on the LRF and voxel segmentation, a feature descriptor based on voxel homogenization was proposed. Moreover, uniform segmentation of cube voxels was performed, considering the eigenvalues of each voxel and its neighboring voxels, thereby enhancing the stability of the description. The performance of the descriptor was strictly tested and evaluated on three public datasets, which exhibited high descriptiveness, robustness, and superior performance compared with other current methods. Furthermore, the descriptor was applied to a 3D registration trial, and the results demonstrated the reliability of our approach.
