Decoding methane concentration in Alberta oil sands: A machine learning exploration by Liubov Sysoeva, Ilhem Bouderbala, Miles H. Kent, Esha Saha, B.A. Zambrano-Luna, Russell Milne, Hao Wang

“…Additionally, stationing advanced monitoring devices either inside or in the vicinity of methane emitting sources can be expensive, and may require permits that are hard to obtain. Interpretable machine learning techniques, coupled with existing data from weather monitoring stations, offer a cost-effective alternative approach for modeling and understanding methane emissions sources. …”

Using partially shared radiomics features to simultaneously identify isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation status and epilepsy in glioma patients from MRI images by Yida Wang, Ankang Gao, Hongxi Yang, Jie Bai, Guohua Zhao, Huiting Zhang, Yang Song, Chenglong Wang, Yong Zhang, Jingliang Cheng, Guang Yang

“…The proposed models can identify IDH status and epilepsy with fewer features, thus having better interpretability and lower risk of overfitting. This not only improves its chance of application in clinical settings, but also provides a new scheme to study multiple correlated clinical tasks.…”

A Fine-Grained Aircraft Target Recognition Algorithm for Remote Sensing Images Based on YOLOV8 by Xiao-Nan Jiang, Xiang-Qian Niu, Fan-Lu Wu, Yao Fu, He Bao, Yan-Chao Fan, Yu Zhang, Jun-Yan Pei

“…Fine-grained recognition plays a pivotal role in the field of remote sensing image analysis, particularly in critical applications such as reconnaissance and early warning, intelligence analysis, and intelligent interpretation. However, the extensive coverage of remote sensing images, the low pixel ratio of targets, and the subtlety of features pose significant challenges for fine-grained recognition of aircraft targets. …”

Self-Examination Low-Cost Full-Field Optical Coherence Tomography (SELFF-OCT) for neovascular age-related macular degeneration: a cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study by Peter Koch, Inke König, Johann Roider, Jan Tode, Konstantine Purtskhvanidze, Claus von der Burchard, Helge Sudkamp, Cristoph Ehlken, Moritz Moltmann, Britta Heimes, Michael Münst, Malte vom Endt, Timo Kepp, Dirk Theisen-Kunde, Gereon Hüttmann

“…All images were graded by at least 2 masked investigators in a reading centre.Primary outcome measure Rate of successful self-measurements.Secondary outcome measures Sensitivity and specificity of SELFF-OCT versus SD-OCT for different biomarkers and necessity for antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment.Results In 86% of all examined eyes, OCT self-acquisition resulted in interpretable retinal OCT volume scans. In these patients, the sensitivity for detection of anti-VEGF treatment necessity was 0.94 (95% CI 0.79 to 0.99) and specificity 0.95 (95% CI 0.82 to 0.99).Conclusions SELFF-OCT was used successfully for retinal self-examination in most patients, and it could become a valuable tool for retinal home monitoring in the future. …”
