Investigating the relationship between thought interference, somatic passivity and outcomes in patients with psychosis: a natural language processing approach using a clinical reco... by Robert Stewart, Anna Kolliakou, Jyoti Sanyal, Rashmi Patel, Thibault Thierry Magrangeas

“…Objectives We aimed to apply natural language processing algorithms in routine healthcare records to identify reported somatic passivity (external control of sensations, actions and impulses) and thought interference symptoms (thought broadcasting, insertion, withdrawal), first-rank symptoms traditionally central to diagnosing schizophrenia, and determine associations with prognosis by analysing routine outcomes.Design Four algorithms were developed on deidentified mental healthcare data and applied to ascertain recorded symptoms over the 3 months following first presentation to a mental healthcare provider in a cohort of patients with a primary schizophreniform disorder (ICD-10 F20-F29) diagnosis.Setting and participants From the electronic health records of a large secondary mental healthcare provider in south London, 9323 patients were ascertained from 2007 to the data extraction date (25 February 2020).Outcomes The primary binary dependent variable for logistic regression analyses was any negative outcome (Mental Health Act section, >2 antipsychotics prescribed, >22 days spent in crisis care) over the subsequent 2 years.Results Final adjusted models indicated significant associations of this composite outcome with baseline somatic passivity (prevalence 4.9%; adjusted OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.88), thought insertion (10.7%; 1.24, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.55) and thought withdrawal (4.9%; 1.36, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.69), but not independently with thought broadcast (10.3%; 1.05, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.22).Conclusions Symptoms traditionally central to the diagnosis of schizophrenia, but under-represented in current diagnostic frameworks, were thus identified as important predictors of short-term to medium-term prognosis in schizophreniform disorders.…”

Region versus query based instance segmentation models: application to the estimation of aggregated TiO2 particles size distribution measured by SEM by Paul Monchot, Loïc Coquelin, Nicolas Fischer

“…Although, it is necessary to help improving state-of-the-art models, it remains far from critical industrial application where accurate measurement is required to ensure optimal process control, quality assurance and safety. This paper compares the performance of ready-to-deploy state-of-the-art instance segmentation models, specifically region and query-based models, across COCO and task-specific designed metrics in the context of the estimation of aggregated TiO _2 particle size distribution from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. …”
