Improved YOLO-Based Pulmonary Nodule Detection with Spatial-SE Attention and an Aspect Ratio Penalty by Xinhang Song, Haoran Xie, Tianding Gao, Nuo Cheng, Jianping Gou

“…In this study, we introduce an improved YOLOV11 framework that addresses these limitations through two primary components: a spatial squeeze-and-excitation (SSE) module that concurrently models channel-wise and spatial attention to enhance the discriminative features pertinent to nodules and explicit aspect ratio penalty IoU (EAPIoU) loss that imposes a direct penalty on the squared differences in aspect ratios to refine the bounding box regression process. …”

Propagating observation errors to enable scalable and rigorous enumeration of plant population abundance with aerial imagery by Andrii Zaiats, T. Trevor Caughlin, Jennyffer Cruz, David S. Pilliod, Megan E. Cattau, Rongsong Liu, Richard Rachman, Maisha Maliha, Donna Delparte, John D. J. Clare

“…In these landscapes, plant recruitment is crucial for ecological recovery but locally patchy, motivating the use of spatially extensive measurements from unoccupied aerial systems (UAS). Integrating >16 ha of UAS imagery with >700 georeferenced field plots, we fit our model to generate insights into the prevalence and drivers of observation errors associated with classification algorithms used to distinguish individual plants, relationships between abundance and landscape context, and to generate spatially explicit maps of shrub abundance. …”

Teaching communication skills to OTL-HNS residents: multisource feedback and simulated scenarios by Pier-Luc Beaudoin, Mathilde Labbé, Amanda Fanous, Meredith Young, Jamie Rappaport, Yoon Soo Park, John Manoukian, Lily H. P. Nguyen

“…The inclusion of a multisource assessment in the simulation curriculum is key to allow for the representation of different perspectives on communication skills, for both the assessment and the debriefing process. Future studies are needed to explore the possibility of fully integrating this educational program into residence training in order to support deliberate communication skills teaching.…”

Object Ontologies as a Priori Models for Logical-Probabilistic Machine Learning by D. N. Gavrilin, A.V. Mantsivoda

“…The combination of LPML and object ontologies is capable of solving the forecasting problems, the tasks of automated control, problem detection, decision making, and business process synthesis. The proximity of object ontologies to the LPML formalism due to the same semantic modeling background makes it possible to integrate them within a single hybrid formal system, which is presented in this paper. …”
