Visual integration deficits associated with psychosis are independent of diagnosis by Mia Geljic, Matthew Mitchell, Keri-Anne Stevens, Henry Holbrook, Hayley Darke, Patrick Goodbourn, Christina Damicoucas, Mohammad Asghari-Jafarabadi, Suresh Sundram, Olivia Carter

“…The findings indicate that contour integration deficits are not specific to schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and instead the neurobiological underpinnings of visual integration impairment may share commonality with psychosis more generally. The findings are also consistent with cognitive factors playing a potential role in JOVI performance and highlight the difficulty in teasing apart altered perceptual and cognitive function in psychiatric patient groups.…”

Detection of Masses in Mammogram Images Based on the Enhanced RetinaNet Network With INbreast Dataset by Wang M, Liu R, Luttrell IV J, Zhang C, Xie J

“…Additionally, we introduced transfer learning techniques into training process through leveraging pre-trained weights from other RetinaNet applications, and fine-tuned our improved model using the INbreast dataset.Results: The aforementioned innovations facilitate superior performance of the enhanced RetiaNet model on the public dataset INbreast, as evidenced by a mAP (mean average precision) of 1.0000 and TPR (true positive rate) of 1.00 at 0.00 FPPI (false positive per image) on the INbreast dataset.Conclusion: The experimental results demonstrate that our enhanced RetinaNet model defeats the existing models by having more generalization performance than other published studies, and it can also be applied to other types of patients to assist doctors in making a proper diagnosis. …”
