The solving of dynamic matrix square root (DMSR) problems is frequently encountered in many scientific and engineering fields. Although the original zeroing neural network is powerful for solving the DMSR, it cannot vanish the influence of the noise perturbations, and its constant‐coefficient design scheme cannot accelerate the convergence speed. Therefore, a noise‐tolerate and adaptive coefficient zeroing neural network (NTACZNN) is raised to enhance the robust noise immunity performance and accelerate the convergence speed simultaneously. Then, the global convergence and robustness of the proposed NTACZNN are theoretically analysed under an ideal environment and noise‐perturbed circumstances. Furthermore, some illustrative simulation examples are designed and performed in order to substantiate the efficacy and advantage of the NTACZNN for the DMSR problem solution. Compared with some existing ZNNs, the proposed NTACZNN possesses advanced performance in terms of noise tolerance, solution accuracy, and convergence rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The second-leading cause of death for women is breast cancer. Consequently, a precise early diagnosis is essential. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, computer-aided diagnosis can efficiently assist radiologists in diagnosing breast problems. Mammography images, breast thermal images, and breast ultrasound images are the three ways to diagnose breast cancer. The paper will discuss some recent developments in machine learning and deep learning in three different breast cancer diagnosis methods. The three components of conventional machine learning methods are image preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and image classification. Deep learning includes convolutional neural networks, transfer learning, and other methods. Additionally, the benefits and drawbacks of different methods are thoroughly contrasted. Finally, we also provide a summary of the challenges and potential futures for breast cancer diagnosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are revolutionizing human activities in various fields, with medicine and infectious diseases being not exempt from their rapid and exponential growth. Furthermore, the field of explainable AI and ML has gained particular relevance and is attracting increasing interest. Infectious diseases have already started to benefit from explainable AI/ML models. For example, they have been employed or proposed to better understand complex models aimed at improving the diagnosis and management of coronavirus disease 2019, in the field of antimicrobial resistance prediction and in quantum vaccine algorithms. Although some issues concerning the dichotomy between explainability and interpretability still require careful attention, an in-depth understanding of how complex AI/ML models arrive at their predictions or recommendations is becoming increasingly essential to properly face the growing challenges of infectious diseases in the present century. AI and ML are revolutionizing human activities in various fields, and infectious diseases are not exempt from their rapid and exponential growth. Despite some notable challenges, explainable AI/ML could provide insights into the decision-making process, making the outcomes of models more transparent. Improved transparency can help to build trust among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the general public in leveraging AI/ML-based systems to face the growing challenges of infectious diseases in the present century.

Cell counting and segmentation are critical tasks in biology and medicine. The traditional methods for cell counting are labor‐intensive, time‐consuming, and prone to human errors. Recently, deep learning‐based cell counting methods have become a trend, including point‐based counting methods, such as cell detection and cell density prediction, and non‐point‐based counting, such as cell number regression prediction. However, the point‐based counting method heavily relies on well‐annotated datasets, which are scarce and difficult to obtain. On the other hand, nonpoint‐based counting is less interpretable. The task of cell counting by dividing it into two subtasks is approached: cell number prediction and cell distribution prediction. To accomplish this, a deep learning network for spatial‐based super‐resolution reconstruction (SSRNet) is proposed that predicts the cell count and segments the cell distribution contour. To effectively train the model, an optimized multitask loss function (OM loss) is proposed that coordinates the training of multiple tasks. In SSRNet, a spatial‐based super‐resolution fast upsampling module (SSR‐upsampling) is proposed for feature map enhancement and one‐step upsampling, which can enlarge the deep feature map by 32 times without blurring and achieves fine‐grained detail and fast processing. SSRNet uses an optimized encoder network. Compared with the classic U‐Net, SSRNet's running memory read and write consumption is only 1/10 of that of U‐Net, and the total number of multiply and add calculations is 1/20 of that of U‐Net. Compared with the traditional sampling method, SSR‐upsampling can complete the upsampling of the entire decoder stage at one time, reducing the complexity of the network and achieving better performance. Experiments demonstrate that the method achieves state‐of‐the‐art performance in cell counting and segmentation tasks. The method achieves nonpoint‐based counting, eliminating the need for exact position annotation of each cell in the image during training. As a result, it has demonstrated excellent performance on cell counting and segmentation tasks. The code is public on GitHub (https://github.com/Roin626/SSRnet). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Facial expression recognition (FER) is widely used in many fields. To further improve the accuracy of FER, this paper proposes a method based on double‐code LBP‐layer spatial‐attention network (DLSANet). The backbone model for the DLSANet is an emotion network (ENet), which is modified with a double‐code LBP (DLBP) layer and a spatial attention module. The DLBP layer is at the front of the first convolutional layer. More valuable features can be extracted by inputting the image processed by DLBP into convolutional layers. The JAFFE and CK+ datasets are used, which contain seven expressions: happiness, anger, disgust, neutral, fear, sadness, and surprise. The average of fivefold cross‐validation shows that DLSANet achieves a recognition accuracy of 93.81% and 98.68% on the JAFFE and CK+ datasets. The experiment reveals that the DLSANet can produce better classification results than state‐of‐the‐art methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complexity of AI-related theories may impede the applications of AI to MBD healthcare Deep learning (DL) is currently the most popular AI category. There are roughly six main categories of common AI methods [[21]]: deep learning, machine learning, neural networks, computer vision, robotics, and natural language processing, as shown in Figure 2. Big data have altered the way we manage, explore, evaluate, analyze, and leverage data across many different industries [[1]]. However, most MBD research thus far still focuses on either (i) traditional AI methods [[38]] due to the complexity of AI categories and sub-categories; or (ii) small-sized healthcare datasets involving the expensive collection of healthcare-related samples [[39]].

Purpose: In this article, the elementary notions and aggregation operations of single-valued neutrosophic parameterized complex fuzzy hypersoft set (sv-NPCFHSS) are characterized initially. Then by using matrix version of sv-NPCFHSS, a decision-support system is constructed for the evaluation of real estate residential projects by observing various risk factors. Design/methodology/approach: Two approaches are utilized in this research: set-theoretic approach and algorithmic approach. The first approach is used to investigate the notions of sv-NPCFHSS and its some aggregations whereas the second approach is used to propose an algorithm for designing its decision-support system by using the aggregation operations like reduced fuzzy matrix, decision matrix, etc. of sv-NPCFHSS. The adopted algorithm is validated in real estate scenario for the selection of residential project by observing various risk factors to avoid any expected investment loss. Findings: The proposed approach is more flexible and reliable as it copes with the shortcomings of literature on sv-neutrosophic set, sv-neutrosophic soft set and other fuzzy soft set-like structures by considering hypersoft setting, complex setting and neutrosophic setting collectively. Research limitations/implications: It has limitations for complex intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set, complex neutrosophic hypersoft set and other complex neutrosophic hypersoft set-like models. Practical implications: The scope of this research may cover a wide range of applications in several fields of mathematical sciences like artificial intelligence, optimization, MCDM, theoretical computer science, soft computing, mathematical statistics etc. Originality/value: The proposed model bears the characteristics of most of the relevant existing fuzzy soft set-like models collectively and fulfills their limitations.

With the increasing requirements for aerodynamic performance, aerodynamic configuration design of aircraft based on traditional design experience has gradually failed to meet the needs of the future. Therefore, the new concept aerodynamic shape design will be the development trend for future aircraft, but the current new concept aerodynamic shape design is still based on the designer's understanding of the existing flow physics. One novel technology that can be useful is topology design. Compared with traditional design, topology design not only has more undetermined parameters, but also its topology variables have a greater impact on the design goals. In this perspective, we propose the concept of Artificial Intelligent Topology Design (AITD) for aerodynamic configuration design based on topology design and artificial intelligence technology and discuss its potential in the application of the new concept of aerodynamic configuration design.

One of the concerns people have is how to get the diagnosis online without privacy being jeopardized. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving intelligent medical diagnosis system (IMDS), which can efficiently solve the problem. In IMDS, users submit their health examination parameters to the server in a protected form; this submitting process is based on Paillier cryptosystem and will not reveal any information about their data. And then the server retrieves the most likely disease (or multiple diseases) from the database and returns it to the users. In the above search process, we use the oblivious keyword search (OKS) as a basic framework, which makes the server maintain the computational ability but cannot learn any personal information over the data of users. Besides, this paper also provides a preprocessing method for data stored in the server, to make our protocol more efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
