Aims: The International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR), a global alliance of major (inter‐)national pathology and cancer organisations, is an initiative aimed at providing a unified international approach to reporting cancer. ICCR recently published new data sets for the reporting of invasive breast carcinoma, surgically removed lymph nodes for breast tumours and ductal carcinoma in situ, variants of lobular carcinoma in situ and low‐grade lesions. The data set in this paper addresses the neoadjuvant setting. The aim is to promote high‐quality, standardised reporting of tumour response and residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment that can be used for subsequent management decisions for each patient. Methods: The ICCR convened expert panels of breast pathologists with a representative surgeon and oncologist to critically review and discuss current evidence. Feedback from the international public consultation was critical in the development of this data set. Results: The expert panel concluded that a dedicated data set was required for reporting of breast specimens post‐neoadjuvant therapy with inclusion of data elements specific to the neoadjuvant setting as core or non‐core elements. This data set proposes a practical approach for handling and reporting breast resection specimens following neoadjuvant therapy. The comments for each data element clarify terminology, discuss available evidence and highlight areas with limited evidence that need further study. This data set overlaps with, and should be used in conjunction with, the data sets for the reporting of invasive breast carcinoma and surgically removed lymph nodes from patients with breast tumours, as appropriate. Key issues specific to the neoadjuvant setting are included in this paper. The entire data set is freely available on the ICCR website. Conclusions: High‐quality, standardised reporting of tumour response and residual disease after neoadjuvant treatment are critical for subsequent management decisions for each patient.

The harmful code application known as a rootkit is designed to be loaded and run directly from the operating system's (OSs') Kernel. Rootkits deployed in the Kernel, called Kernel-mode rootkits, can alter the OS. The intention behind these Kernel changes is to conceal the hack. Detecting a Kernel rootkit in a target machine is found to be quite challenging. Numerous techniques can be employed to modify the Kernel of a system. Kernel rootkits also create hidden access for attacks, enabling unauthorized entry to be gained by attackers on the machine. The ultimate consequence is that essential computer data can be modified, personal information can be gathered, and hackers can observe behavior. Synthetic neural networks support artificial intelligence, a branch of deep learning that models the human brain and operates on large datasets. This study proposed the Kernel rootkit detection multi-class deep learning techniques (KRDMCDLT). Deep learning algorithms are utilized to recognize the Kernel rootkit from a batch of data by selecting essential properties for learning tracking models. Thus, by identifying the OS malware, trojan assaults can be stopped before they can access infected data. This Kernel rootkit detection was tested in a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) computing system.

Microphysical observations of precipitating particles are critical data sources for numerical weather prediction models and remote sensing retrieval algorithms. However, obtaining coherent data sets of particle microphysics is challenging as they are often unindexed, distributed across disparate institutions, and have not undergone a uniform quality control process. This work introduces a unified, comprehensive Northern Hemisphere particle microphysical data set from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration precipitation imaging package (PIP), accessible in a standardized data format and stored in a centralized, public repository. Data is collected from 10 measurement sites spanning 34° latitude (37°N–71°N) over 10 years (2014–2023), which comprise a set of 1,070,000 precipitating minutes. The provided data set includes measurements of a suite of microphysical attributes for both rain and snow, including distributions of particle size, vertical velocity, and effective density, along with higher‐order products including an approximation of volume‐weighted equivalent particle densities, liquid equivalent snowfall, and rainfall rate estimates. The data underwent a rigorous standardization and quality assurance process to filter out erroneous observations to produce a self‐describing, scalable, and achievable data set. Case study analyses demonstrate the capabilities of the data set in identifying physical processes like precipitation phase‐changes at high temporal resolution. Bulk precipitation characteristics from a multi‐site intercomparison also highlight distinct microphysical properties unique to each location. This curated PIP data set is a robust database of high‐quality particle microphysical observations for constraining future precipitation retrieval algorithms, and offers new insights toward better understanding regional and seasonal differences in bulk precipitation characteristics. Plain Language Summary: This work introduces a new particle microphysics data set that is useful for improving weather prediction models and in enhancing precipitation estimation techniques.

BACKGROUND: Rapid and accurate segmentation of tumor regions from rectal cancer images can better understand the patient’s lesions and surrounding tissues, providing more effective auxiliary diagnostic information. However, cutting rectal tumors with deep learning still cannot be compared with manual segmentation, and a major obstacle to cutting rectal tumors with deep learning is the lack of high-quality data sets. OBJECTIVE: We propose to use our Re-segmentation Method to manually correct the model segmentation area and put it into training and training ideas. The data set has been made publicly available. Methods: A total of 354 rectal cancer CT images and 308 rectal region images labeled by experts from Jiangxi Cancer Hospital were included in the data set. Six network architectures are used to train the data set, and the region predicted by the model is manually revised and then put into training to improve the ability of model segmentation and then perform performance measurement. RESULTS: In this study, we use the Resegmentation Method for various popular network architectures. CONCLUSION: By comparing the evaluation indicators before and after using the Re-segmentation Method, we prove that our proposed Re-segmentation Method can further improve the performance of the rectal cancer image segmentation model.

It takes a long time to detect target information in noisy radar information and reduce the probability of false alarm. Therefore, it has become a research direction to reduce the probability of false alarm and the time of effective target detection. This paper introduces a new method to reduce the occurrence of false alarm in non-uniform environment and improve the efficiency of target detection. The proposed method involves a faster and more stable method that involves preprocessing the data set, splitting it into smaller parts, and utilizing a KTH minimum value M determined by an ordered statistics class constant false alarm detection algorithm. Each data point in the small segment is then compared to M, anything above M is classified as a target, and anything below M is ignored as clutter. Then ESVI-CFAR detection was performed on the selected target to obtain the final detection result. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the traditional VI-CFAR and has better target detection performance.

Aims: Mesothelioma is a rare malignancy of the serosal membranes that is commonly related to exposure to asbestos. Despite extensive research and clinical trials, prognosis to date remains poor. Consistent, comprehensive and reproducible pathology reporting form the basis of all future interventions for an individual patient, but also ensures that meaningful data are collected to identify predictive and prognostic markers. Methods and results: This article details the International Collaboration on Cancer Reporting (ICCR) process and the development of the international consensus mesothelioma reporting data set. It describes the 'core' and 'non‐core' elements to be included in pathology reports for mesothelioma of all sites, inclusive of clinical, macroscopic, microscopic and ancillary testing considerations. An international expert panel consisting of pathologists and a medical oncologist produced a set of data items for biopsy and resection specimens based on a critical review and discussion of current evidence, and in light of the changes in the 2021 WHO Classification of Tumours. The commentary focuses particularly upon new entities such as mesothelioma in situ and provides background on relevant and essential ancillary testing as well as implementation of the new requirement for tumour grading. Conclusion: We recommend widespread and consistent implementation of this data set, which will facilitate accurate reporting and enhance the consistency of data collection, improve the comparison of epidemiological data, support retrospective research and ultimately help to improve clinical outcomes. To this end, all data sets are freely available worldwide on the ICCR website (www.iccr‐cancer.org/data‐sets). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article considers one of the main problems of data analysis, i.e., estimation of parameters characterizing the data sample of a constant quantity. Data analysis is required in all areas of experimental physics to obtain reliable measurement results. To describe sample units under bilateral constraints on their error, the apparatus of interval analysis and statistics is used. In particular, data homogeneity in the sample is described using various consistency measures. A set of three consistency measures is presented that describe different relationships between sample units. On the basis of the considered set, a combined sample consistency measure is proposed that can simultaneously provide outer and inner estimates of the quantity under study. The specified estimates are important in solving a massive data processing problem (i.e., processing of a set of samples obtained under different measurement conditions). The article provides necessary information on interval analysis and various interval arithmetics. The relationships between the proposed combined measure and the results of computations with interval twins and fuzzy sets are considered. This combined measure can be used in solving the massive data processing problem typically addressed in theoretical and applied semiconductor physics. A practical example is presented of using the combined sample consistency measure in the testing of solar transducers against a reference transducer as part of the study of their spectral properties and quantum yield.

This article describes a new database (named "EMAP") of 145 individuals' reactions to emotion‐provoking film clips. It includes electroencephalographic and peripheral physiological data as well as moment‐by‐moment ratings for emotional arousal in addition to overall and categorical ratings. The resulting variation in continuous ratings reflects inter‐individual variability in emotional responding. To make use of the moment‐by‐moment data for ratings as well as neurophysiological activity, we used a machine learning approach. The results show that algorithms that are based on temporal information improve predictions compared to algorithms without a temporal component, both within and across participant modeling. Although predicting moment‐by‐moment changes in emotional experiences by analyzing neurophysiological activity was more difficult than using aggregated experience ratings, selecting a subset of predictors improved the prediction. This also showed that not only single features, for example, skin conductance, but a range of neurophysiological parameters explain variation in subjective fluctuations of subjective experience. To increase our understanding of emotion, realistic, constantly changing reports of experience are needed to investigate relationships between subjective ratings and physiological reactions. A new data set to explore moment‐by‐moment personal experiences of emotion in conjunction with neurophysiological responses is presented. Initial modeling results show that although it is difficult to predict moment‐by‐moment ratings, predictions are improved by algorithms that take temporal information into account.

Data classification is an important task in the field of data mining, which can be used to mine the model of important data and forecast the future trend of those data. Although some breakthroughs have been made in data classification theoretically and technically, there are still some problems, such as lack accuracy of classification modeling algorithm, poor comprehensibility of classification rules and so on. Accuracy improvement and accurate achievement of classification has become hot research topics. Gene expression programming (GEP) has been considered a powerful evolutionary method for data classification. Aiming at the shortage of basic GEP classification algorithm, a novel classification algorithm based on GEP named O_GEPCA has been proposed in this paper. By using this method the initialization and mutation operator adjustment method, calibration set, evolution function and correction strategy will be improved, and the basic GEP classification algorithm will be optimized. The proposed O_GEPCA method shows significantly improvement after comparative study between our proposed O_GEPCA methods and the primitive GEP. The efficiency and capability of our proposed O_GEPCA for data classification will be tested in four well-studied benchmark test cases including card, cancer, heart, glass classification problem demonstrate.

The 2021 Amazon Last Mile Routing Research Challenge, hosted by Amazon.com's Last Mile Research team, and scientifically supported by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center for Transportation and Logistics, prompted participants to leverage real operational data to find new and better ways to solve a real-world routing problem. In this article, we describe the data set released for the research challenge, which includes route-, stop-, and package-level features for 9,184 historical routes performed by Amazon drivers in 2018 in five metropolitan areas in the United States. This real-world data set excludes any personally identifiable information: all route and package identifiers have been randomly regenerated and related location data have been obfuscated to ensure anonymity. Although multiple synthetic benchmark data sets are available in the literature, the data set of the 2021 Amazon Last Mile Routing Research Challenge is the first large and publicly available data set to include instances based on real-world operational routing data. History: This paper has been accepted for the Transportation Science Special Issue on Machine Learning Methods and Applications in Large-Scale Route Planning Problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Climate change is driving the loss of alpine glaciers globally, yet investigations about the water quality of rivers stemming from them are few. Here we provide an overview assessment of a biogeochemical data set containing 200+ parameters that we collected between 2019 and 2021 from the headwaters of three such rivers (Sunwapta‐Athabasca, North Saskatchewan, and Bow) which originate from the glacierized eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We used regional hydrometric data sets to accurately model discharge at our 14 sampling sites. We created a Local Meteoric Water Line (LMWL) using riverine water isotope signatures and compared it to collected regional rain, snow, and glacial ice signatures. Principal component analyses of river physicochemical measures revealed distance from glacier explained more data variability than other spatiotemporal factors (i.e., season, year, or river). Discharge, chemical concentrations, and watershed areas were then used to model site‐specific open water season yields for 25 parameters. Chemical yields followed what would generally be expected along river continuums from glacierized to montane altitudinal life zones, with landscape characteristics driving chemical sources and sinks. For instance, particulate chemical yields were generally highest near source glaciers with proglacial lakes acting as settling ponds, whereas most dissolved yields varied by parameter and site. As these headwaters continue to evolve with glacier mass loss, the data set and analyses presented here can be used as a contemporary baseline to mark future change against. Further, following this initial assessment of our data set, we encourage others to mine it for additional biogeochemical studies. Plain Language Summary: Alpine glaciers are vulnerable to climate change, with their numbers and sizes expected to decline dramatically within the current century. It is known that a decrease in glacier mass will have direct consequences on glacial meltwater quantity, but how this may impact the quality of receiving freshwaters is less understood. Our goal was to record a water quality data set of 200+ physical and chemical parameters for the headwaters of three major rivers draining glaciers on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We first used statistics to model how fast the rivers were flowing at our 14 sampling locations over our 2‐year sampling period. We then looked at how and why water isotopes collected from river, rain, snow, and glacier ice samples differed. We discovered that distance downstream from the glacier explained more statistical variation in our physical and chemical measures than season, year, or river. Finally, at each of our sampling sites, we calculated chemical yields, or the amount of chemical constituent being exported downriver per unit watershed area, and found landscape features like lakes, outwash plains, and forests influence them. We ultimately hope that others use our comprehensive data set to investigate this changing region further. Key Points: We assessed a 200+ parameter data set collected from glacial river headwaters on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky MountainsOur findings can act as a contemporary reference for future investigation of glacial headwaters in rapidly evolving alpine regionsThe possibilities for data exploration of our 260,000+ measure data set are numerous and we encourage others to mine it for new studies [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Increasing the quality indicators for identifying the information security (IS) state of individual segments of cyber-physical systems is related to processing large information arrays. A method for improving quality indicators when solving problems of identifying the IS state is proposed. Its implementation is based on the formation of individual sample segments. Analysis of the properties of these segments makes it possible to select and assign algorithms that have the best quality indicators in the current segment. Segmentation of a data sample is considered. Using real dataset data as an example, experimental values of the quality indicator for the proposed method are given for various classifiers on individual segments and the entire sample.

Estimating depth from images is a common technique in 3D perception. However, dealing with non-Lambertian materials, e.g., transparent or specular, is still nowadays an open challenge. However, to overcome this challenge with deep stereo matching networks or monocular depth estimation, data sets with non-Lambertian objects are mandatory. Currently, only few real-world data sets are available. This is due to the high effort and time-consuming process of generating these data sets with ground truth. Currently, transparent objects must be prepared, e.g., painted or powdered, or an opaque twin of the non-Lambertian object is needed. This makes data acquisition very time consuming and elaborate. We present a new measurement principle for how to generate a real data set of transparent and specular surfaces without object preparation techniques, which greatly reduces the effort and time required for data collection. For this purpose, we use a thermal 3D sensor as a reference system, which allows the 3D detection of transparent and reflective surfaces without object preparation. In addition, we publish the first-ever real stereo data set, called TranSpec3D, where ground truth disparities without object preparation were generated using this measurement principle. The data set contains 110 objects and consists of 148 scenes, each taken in different lighting environments, which increases the size of the data set and creates different reflections on the surface. We also show the advantages and disadvantages of our measurement principle and data set compared to the Booster data set (generated with object preparation), as well as the current limitations of our novel method.

In view of the problems of traditional Chinese license plate recognition methods, such as the requirement of scenes, poor real-time performance, and inability to deploy on edge devices, this study proposes a Chinese license plate detection and recognition method based on YOLO(You Only Look Once) in unconstrained scenes. This method is divided into two modules: license plate detection and license plate character recognition. In the license plate detection part, the improved YOLOv5 model is used to predict four groups of key points for license plate correction based on the prediction of target candidate regions, and the pre-training model trained on the COCO data set is used for training, which reduces the error detection problem caused by the complex environment and has high real-time performance. In the license plate character recognition part, the CRNN(Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network) model is improved, which greatly reduces the parameters and computation of the algorithm, so that it can be successfully deployed in various edge devices. Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently detect and recognize license plates in complex environments. The map value of the proposed license plate detection model is 3.0% higher than that of Retina-face in the license plate detection data set. Compared with LPR-Net, the accuracy of license plate character recognition model in license plate recognition data set is improved by 4.2%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Digital media is an inevitable product of the development of information technology, and the emergence of this art has brought new opportunities and space for the innovative development of the film industry. This paper constructs a film creation model based on digital media technology and analyzes its data set using data mining algorithms. Firstly, the digital media is set as a matrix to calculate the similarity, and a subset of attributes is calculated using cosine similarity and Pearson coefficient to extract the indistinguishable relationship of rough set theory. Then the information entropy calculation scheme is reset, and the specific process of the data mining method is given. Finally, the mining is carried out for six data subsets, from which the importance of the integration of digital media and film creation is known. The results show that the sound and picture fluency tests of the frames in the film creation using digital media technology reached 8 frequencies for all three kinds of audio during the sound test. The picture smoothness of each frame of the film creation work met the design standard of >16.67ms/frame. Therefore, the combination of digital media art and film creation in modern film creation can not only promote the development of the film industry but also enhance the aesthetic ability of the audience to a certain extent.

SignificanceThe scientific dataset of agricultural pests and diseases is the foundation for monitoring and warning of agricultural pests and diseases. It is of great significance for the development of agricultural pest control, and is an important component of developing smart agriculture. The quality of the dataset affecting the effectiveness of image recognition algorithms, with the discovery of the importance of deep learning technology in intelligent monitoring of agricultural pests and diseases. The construction of high-quality agricultural pest and disease datasets is gradually attracting attention from scholars in this field. In the task of image recognition, on one hand, the recognition effect depends on the improvement strategy of the algorithm, and on the other hand, it depends on the quality of the dataset. The same recognition algorithm learns different features in different quality datasets, so its recognition performance also varies. In order to propose a dataset evaluation index to measure the quality of agricultural pest and disease datasets, this article analyzes the existing datasets and takes the challenges faced in constructing agricultural pest and disease image datasets as the starting point to review the construction of agricultural pest and disease datasets.ProgressFirstly, disease and pest datasets are divided into two categories: private datasets and public datasets. Private datasets have the characteristics of high annotation quality, high image quality, and a large number of inter class samples that are not publicly available. Public datasets have the characteristics of multiple types, low image quality, and poor annotation quality. Secondly, the problems faced in the construction process of datasets are summarized, including imbalanced categories at the dataset level, difficulty in feature extraction at the dataset sample level, and difficulty in measuring the dataset size at the usage level. These include imbalanced inter class and intra class samples, selection bias, multi-scale targets, dense targets, uneven data distribution, uneven image quality, insufficient dataset size, and dataset availability. The main reasons for the problem are analyzed by two key aspects of image acquisition and annotation methods in dataset construction, and the improvement strategies and suggestions for the algorithm to address the above issues are summarized. The collection devices of the dataset can be divided into handheld devices, drone platforms, and fixed collection devices. The collection method of handheld devices is flexible and convenient, but it is inefficient and requires high photography skills. The drone platform acquisition method is suitable for data collection in contiguous areas, but the detailed features captured are not clear enough. The fixed device acquisition method has higher efficiency, but the shooting scene is often relatively fixed. The annotation of image data is divided into rectangular annotation and polygonal annotation. In image recognition and detection, rectangular annotation is generally used more frequently. It is difficult to label images that are difficult to separate the target and background. Improper annotation can lead to the introduction of more noise or incomplete algorithm feature extraction. In response to the problems in the above three aspects, the evaluation methods are summarized for data distribution consistency, dataset size, and image annotation quality at the end of the article.Conclusions and ProspectsThe future research and development suggestions for constructing high-quality agricultural pest and disease image datasets based are proposed on the actual needs of agricultural pest and disease image recognition:(1) Construct agricultural pest and disease datasets combined with practical usage scenarios. In order to enable the algorithm to extract richer target features, image data can be collected from multiple perspectives and environments to construct a dataset. According to actual needs, data categories can be scientifically and reasonably divided from the perspective of algorithm feature extraction, avoiding unreasonable inter class and intra class distances, and thus constructing a dataset that meets task requirements for classification and balanced feature distribution. (2) Balancing the relationship between datasets and algorithms. When improving algorithms, consider the more sufficient distribution of categories and features in the dataset, as well as the size of the dataset that matches the model, to improve algorithm accuracy, robustness, and practicality. It ensures that comparative experiments are conducted on algorithm improvement under the same evaluation standard dataset, and improved the pest and disease image recognition algorithm. Research the correlation between the scale of agricultural pest and disease image data and algorithm performance, study the relationship between data annotation methods and algorithms that are difficult to annotate pest and disease images, integrate recognition algorithms for fuzzy, dense, occluded targets, and propose evaluation indicators for agricultural pest and disease datasets. (3) Enhancing the use value of datasets. Datasets can not only be used for research on image recognition, but also for research on other business needs. The identification, collection, and annotation of target images is a challenging task in the construction process of pest and disease datasets. In the process of collecting image data, in addition to collecting images, attention can be paid to the collection of surrounding environmental information and host information. This method is used to construct a multimodal agricultural pest and disease dataset, fully leveraging the value of the dataset. In order to focus researchers on business innovation research, it is necessary to innovate the organizational form of data collection, develop a big data platform for agricultural diseases and pests, explore the correlation between multimodal data, improve the accessibility and convenience of data, and provide efficient services for application implementation and business innovation.

Abstract The increasing complexity of low‐voltage networks poses a growing challenge for the reliable and fail‐safe operation of electricity grids. The reasons for this include an increasingly decentralised energy generation (photovoltaic systems, wind power etc.) and the emergence of new types of consumers (e‐mobility, domestic electricity storage etc.). At the same time, the low‐voltage grid is largely unmonitored and local power failures are sometimes hard to detect. To overcome this, power line communication (PLC) has emerged as a potential solution for reliable monitoring of the low‐voltage grid. In addition to establishing a communication infrastructure, PLC also offers the possibility of evaluating the cables themselves, as well as the connection quality between individual cable distributors based on their signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). The roll‐out of a large‐scale PLC infrastructure therefore not only ensures communication, but also introduces a tool for monitoring the entire network. To evaluate the potential of this data, we installed 38 PLC modems in three different areas of a German city with a population of about 150,000 as part of the Fühler‐im‐Netz (FiN) project. Over a period of 22 months, an SNR spectrum of each connection between adjacent PLC modems was generated every quarter of an hour. The availability of this real‐world PLC data opens up new possibilities to react to the increasingly complex challenges in future smart grids. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the data generation and describes how the data was collected during normal operation of the electricity grid. In addition, we present common anomalies, effects, and trends that could be observed in the PLC data at daily, weekly, or seasonal levels. Finally, we discuss potential use cases and the remote inspection of a cable section is highlighted as an example.

The availability of data is an important aspect of any research as it determines the likelihood of the study’s commencement, completion, and success. The Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Networks technologies have been attracting a huge amount of researchers for more than two decades, without having a consolidated or unified source that identifies and describes available Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Network testbed facilities. In this paper, a dataset including 41 distinct testbed facilities is described. These testbed facilities are classified according to their key features such as Device Under Test (DUT) type, mobility, access level, facility count, connection/interaction interfaces, and other criteria. The systematic review process resulting in the gathered data set consisted of three filtering phases applied to relevant articles published between the years 2011 and 2021 as obtained from the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases.

In order to propose a dataset evaluation index to measure the quality of agricultural pest and disease datasets, this article analyzes the existing datasets and takes the challenges faced in constructing agricultural pest and disease image datasets as the starting point to review the construction of agricultural pest and disease datasets. [Progress] Firstly, disease and pest datasets are divided into two categories: private datasets and public datasets. Private datasets have the characteristics of high annotation quality, high image quality, and a large number of inter class samples that are not publicly available. Public datasets have the characteristics of multiple types, low image quality, and poor annotation quality. Secondly, the problems faced in the construction process of datasets are summarized, including imbalanced categories at the dataset level, difficulty in feature extraction at the dataset sample level, and difficulty in measuring the dataset size at the usage level. These include imbalanced inter class and intra class samples, selection bias, multi-scale targets, dense targets, uneven data distribution, uneven image quality, insufficient dataset size, and dataset availability. The main reasons for the problem are analyzed by two key aspects of image acquisition and annotation methods in dataset construction, and the improvement strategies and suggestions for the algorithm to address the above is‐ sues are summarized. The collection devices of the dataset can be divided into handheld devices, drone platforms, and fixed collection devices. The collection method of handheld devices is flexible and convenient, but it is inefficient and requires high photography skills. The drone platform acquisition method is suitable for data collection in contiguous areas, but the detailed features captured are not clear enough. The fixed device acquisition method has higher efficiency, but the shooting scene is often relatively fixed. The annotation of image data is divided into rectangular annotation and polygonal annotation. In image recognition and detection, rectangular annotation is generally used more frequently. It is difficult to label images that are difficult to separate the target and background. Improper annotation can lead to the introduction of more noise or incomplete algorithm feature extraction. In response to the problems in the above three aspects, the evaluation methods are summarized for data distribution consistency, dataset size, and image annotation quality at the end of the article. [Conclusions and Prospects] The future research and development suggestions for constructing high-quality agricultural pest and disease image datasets based are proposed on the actual needs of agricultural pest and disease image recognition:(1) Construct agricultural pest and disease datasets combined with practical usage scenarios. In order to enable the algorithm to extract richer target features, image data can be collected from multiple perspectives and environments to construct a dataset. According to actual needs, data categories can be scientifically and reasonably divided from the perspective of algorithm feature extraction, avoiding unreasonable inter class and intra class distances, and thus constructing a dataset that meets task requirements for classification and balanced feature distribution. (2) Balancing the relationship between datasets and algorithms. When improving algorithms, consider the more sufficient distribution of categories and features in the dataset, as well as the size of the dataset that matches the model, to improve algorithm ac‐ curacy, robustness, and practicality. It ensures that comparative experiments are conducted on algorithm improvement under the same evaluation standard dataset, and improved the pest and disease image recognition algorithm. Research the correlation between the scale of agricultural pest and disease image data and algorithm performance, study the relationship between data annotation methods and algorithms that are difficult to annotate pest and disease images, integrate recognition algorithms for fuzzy, dense, occluded tar‐ gets, and propose evaluation indicators for agricultural pest and disease datasets. (3) Enhancing the use value of datasets. Datasets can not only be used for research on image recognition, but also for research on other business needs. The identification, collection, and annotation of target images is a challenging task in the construction process of pest and disease datasets. In the process of collecting image data, in addition to collecting images, attention can be paid to the collection of surrounding environmental information and host information. This method is used to construct a multimodal agricultural pest and disease dataset, fully leveraging the value of the dataset. In order to focus researchers on business innovation research, it is necessary to innovate the organizational form of data collection, develop a big data platform for agricultural diseases and pests, explore the correlation between multimodal data, improve the accessibility and convenience of data, and provide efficient services for application implementation and business innovation.

Increasing research has been conducted on individuals presenting with self‐harm at emergency departments (EDs). However, less is known about individuals presenting to EDs with only self‐harm ideation. We aimed to describe the characteristics of those attending Irish hospitals with self‐harm ideation and investigate any differences in comparison to those presenting with suicide ideation. A prospective cohort study was conducted on Irish ED presentations due to suicidal and self‐harm ideation. Data were obtained from the service improvement data set of a dedicated nurse‐led National Clinical programme for the assessment of those presenting to Irish emergency departments due to Self‐harm and Suicide‐related Ideation (NCPSHI). A total of 10 602 anonymized presentation data were analysed from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2019. Descriptive analysis was conducted to compare those with suicidal and self‐harm ideation on sociodemographic and care interventions. Being female and aged <29 were more prevalent among the self‐harm ideation presentations. Compared to the self‐harm ideation group, a higher proportion of those with suicidal thoughts received an emergency care plan (63% vs 58%, p = 0.002) and General Practitioner letter sent within 24 h of presentation (75% vs 69%, p = 0.045). Little variation was found between hospitals for self‐harm ideation in both years. Our study suggests that females and younger populations are more prevalent in hospital presentations due self‐harm ideation, while presentations related to suicidal ideation are more often made by males and involving substance use. Attention should be given to the relationship between clinicians' attitudes towards care provision and the content of suicide‐related ideation ED disclosure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While soil liquefaction is common in earthquakes, the case-history data required to train and test state-of-practice prediction models remains comparatively scarce, owing to the breadth and expense of data that comprise a single case history. The 2001 Nisqually, Washington, earthquake, for example, occurred in a metropolitan region and induced damaging liquefaction in the urban cores of Seattle and Olympia, yet case-history data have not previously been published. Accordingly, this article compiles 24 cone-penetration-test (CPT) case histories from free-field locations. The many methods used to obtain and process the data are detailed herein, as is the structure of the digital data set. The case histories are then analyzed by 18 existing liquefaction response models to determine whether any is better, and to compare model performance in Nisqually against global observations. While differences are measured, both between models and against prior global case histories, these differences are often statistically insignificant considering finite-sample uncertainty. This alludes to the general inappropriateness of championing models based on individual earthquakes or otherwise small data sets, and to the ongoing needs for additional case-history data and more rigorous adherence to best practices in model training and testing.

A continuing global desire to be using clinical systems within a digital health ecosystem, able to facilitate data flows and information exchange as required to support person-centred, predictive, preventative, participatory and precision (5p) health and medical care can best be supported through the use of the standard categorial structure able to represent not only the clinical nursing practice domain but also other clinical disciplines by the generic labelling of some high-level categories. It is hypothesised that adoption of this generic clinical categorial structure within any electronic health/medical record within a well connected digital health ecosystem, supported by a cloud based openEHR platform, will enable the 5p support to be realized. This presentation provides the results of the latest update of this technical standard based on the 20+ year nursing practice categorial structure development process adopted to achieve this aim and a summary about linking this categorial structure to standard terminologies and to standard EHR/EMR system architectures.

The growth of the online review phenomenon, which has expanded from specialised trade magazines to end users via online platforms, has also increasingly involved the cultural heritage of countries, a source of tourism and growth driver of local economies. Unfortunately, this has been paralleled by the emergence and spread of the phenomenon of fake reviews, against which the scientific world has developed language models capable of distinguishing them from the truthful. The application of such models, often based on deep neural networks with transformer-type architectures, is however limited by the availability of local language data sets for specific domains, useful for both training and verification. The purpose of this article is twofold. Firstly, a new data set was created in the Italian language, generally considered low-resource, relating to the domain of cultural heritage in Italy, by collecting reviews available online, reorganising them in the form of a data set usable by the language models. Secondly, a baseline of results for the detection of misleading reviews was constructed by exploiting two widely used language models, namely BERT and ELECTRA. The performance achieved is interesting, around 95% accuracy and F1 score, using data set splits between training and testing of 80/20 and 90/10. In addition, SHAP was used as a tool to support the explicability of AI models: in this way, it was possible to show the usefulness of sentiment analysis as a support for the recognition of deceptiveness.

Sentiment analysis and opinion mining are essential tasks with many prominent application areas, e.g., when researching popular opinions on products or brands. Sentiments expressed in social media can be used in brand name monitoring and indicating fake news. In our survey of previous work, we note that there is no large-scale social media data set with sentiment polarity annotations for Finnish. This publication aims to remedy this shortcoming by introducing a 27,000-sentence data set annotated independently with sentiment polarity by three native annotators. We had three annotators annotate the whole data set, which provides a unique opportunity for further studies of annotator behavior over the sample annotation order. We analyze their inter-annotator agreement and provide two baselines to validate the usefulness of the data set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When images are customized to identify changes that have occurred using techniques such as spectral signature, which can be used to extract features, they can be of great value. In this paper, it was proposed to use the spectral signature to extract information from satellite images and then classify them into four categories. Here it is based on a set of data from the Kaggle satellite imagery website that represents different categories such as clouds, deserts, water, and green areas. After preprocessing these images, the data is transformed into a spectral signature using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm. Then the data of each image is reduced by selecting the top 20 features and transforming them from a two-dimensional matrix to a one-dimensional vector matrix using the Vector Quantization (VQ) algorithm. The data is divided into training and testing. Then it is fed into 23 layers of deep neural networks (DNN) that classify satellite images. The result is 2,145,020 parameters, and the evaluation of performance measures was accuracy = 100%, loopback = 100%, and the result F1 = 100 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of focal epilepsy. An increasingly identified subset of patients with TLE consists of those who show bilaterally independent temporal lobe seizures. The purpose of this study was to leverage network neuroscience to better understand the interictal whole brain network of bilateral TLE (BiTLE). Methods: In this study, using a multicenter resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs‐fMRI) data set, we constructed whole‐brain functional networks of 19 patients with BiTLE, and compared them to those of 75 patients with unilateral TLE (UTLE). We quantified resting‐state, whole‐brain topological properties using metrics derived from network theory, including clustering coefficient, global efficiency, participation coefficient, and modularity. For each metric, we computed an average across all brain regions, and iterated this process across network densities. Curves of network density vs each network metric were compared between groups. Finally, we derived a combined metric, which we term the "integration‐segregation axis," by combining whole‐brain average clustering coefficient and global efficiency curves, and applying principal component analysis (PCA)–based dimensionality reduction. Results: Compared to UTLE, BiTLE had decreased global efficiency (p =.031), and decreased whole brain average participation coefficient across a range of network densities (p =.019). Modularity maximization yielded a larger number of smaller communities in BiTLE than in UTLE (p =.020). Differences in network properties separate BiTLE and UTLE along the integration‐segregation axis, with regions within the axis having a specificity of up to 0.87 for BiTLE. Along the integration‐segregation axis, UTLE patients with poor surgical outcomes were distributed in the same regions as BiTLE, and network metrics confirmed similar patterns of increased segregation in both BiTLE and poor outcome UTLE. Significance: Increased interictal whole‐brain network segregation, as measured by rs‐fMRI, is specific to BiTLE, as well as poor surgical outcome UTLE, and may assist in non‐invasively identifying this patient population prior to intracranial electroencephalography or device implantation.

The substantial vision loss due to Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) mainly damages the blood vessels of the retina. These feature changes in the blood vessels fail to exist any manifestation in the eye at its initial stage, if this problem doesn't exhibit initially, that leads to permanent blindness. So, this type of disorder can be only screened and identified through the processing of fundus images. The different stages in DR are Micro aneurysms (Ma), Hemorrhages (HE), and Exudates, and the stages in lesion show the chance of DR. For the advancement of early detection of DR in the eye we have developed the CNN-based identification approach on the fundus blood lesion image. The CNN-based automated detection of DR proposes the novel Graph cutter-built background and foreground superpixel segmentation technique and the foremost classification of fundus images feature was done through hybrid classifiers as K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier, and Cascaded Rotation Forest (CRF) classifier. Over this classifier, the feature cross-validation made the classification more accurate and the comparison is made with the previous works of parameters such as specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy shows that the hybrid classifier attains excellent performance and achieves an overall accuracy of 98%. Among these Cascaded Rotation Forest (CRF) classifier has more accuracy than others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the recorded data from an experimental campaign on stiffened steel column bases. The connection configuration comprises an exposed base plate on which vertical stiffeners are welded to strengthen the assembly. Using stiffened column bases is common in several countries where providing thick steel plates is not practical. However, despite their broad application in existing steel structures, there was rare experimental data collected exclusively on their hysteresis response to seismic excitations. The designed testing program intends to document the connection behavior under cyclic loading. This article describes the data collection process, including specimen geometry, material properties, construction details, test setup, instrumentation, and loading history. The qualitative observations are reported to support the data application, and the recorded data set is deposited publicly for future use (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7058873). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current research has evolved in such a way scientists must not only adequately describe the algorithms they introduce and the results of their application, but also ensure the possibility of reproducing the results and comparing them with those obtained through other approximations. In this context, public data sets (sometimes shared through repositories) are one of the most important elements for the development of experimental protocols and test benches. This study has analysed a significant number of CS/ML (Computer Science / Machine Learning) research data repositories and data sets and detected some limitations that hamper their utility. Particularly, we identify and discuss the following demanding functionalities for repositories: (1) building customised data sets for specific research tasks, (2) facilitating the comparison of different techniques using dissimilar pre-processing methods, (3) ensuring the availability of software applications to reproduce the pre-processing steps without using the repository functionalities and (4) providing protection mechanisms for licencing issues and user rights. To show the introduced functionality, we created STRep (Spam Text Repository) web application which implements our recommendations adapted to the field of spam text repositories. In addition, we launched an instance of STRep in the URL https://rdata.4spam.group to facilitate understanding of this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A material's electronic properties and technological utility depend on its band gap value and the nature of band gap (i.e. direct or indirect). This nature of band gaps is notoriously difficult to compute from first principles. In fact it is computationally intense to approximate and also rather time consuming. Hence its prediction represents a challenging problem. Machine learning based approach offers a promising and computationally efficient means to address this problem. Here we predict the nature of band gap for perovskite oxides (ABO3) with elemental composition, ionic radius, ionic character and electronegativity. We do this by training machine learning models on computationally generated datasets. Knowing the nature of the band gap of the perovskite oxides (whether direct or indirect) plays a pivotal role in determining whether the perovskite can be used for photovoltaic or photocatalytic applications. A total of 5329 perovskite oxides are considered in this study. Here, we determine the correlation between the nature of band gap and the composition of the perovskite oxide. A Random Forest algorithm is used for predicting the same since it yielded higher accuracy (∼91%) compared to the other Machine Learning models. The approach suggested here can be used to predict the nature of bandgap and can also aid in novel materials discovery within the family of perovskites. This is a robust, quick, and low-cost strategy to find novel materials for light harvesting applications in particular. Also we present feature ranking as it pertains to prediction of nature of bandgap and also discuss correlation between the features. We also show feature importance graphs and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) as is relevant for prediction of nature of band gaps. Using the approach reported, NaPuO3 and VPbO3 are discovered to be good candidates for solar cell materials (direct band gap∼1.5 eV). Novel composition predictions for targeted applications are the future and our model is a step ahead in this direction.

The purpose of this study was to create a cross-scenario data set for applying to Thai and Lao language processing. Our method involved 113 people, and a questionnaire was given to each person to collect the data. The people were asked to infer the meaning of ten Lao words in the Thai language. The data were analyzed by employing the framework of Bloomfield (1933), Benson (1985), Johnson (1987), Sinclair (1991), Baker (1992) and Miller (1998). They stated that the schema is the concept of a word’s meaning in a person’s mind. This derives from the individual personal experience. The results showed that a cross-scenario data set can be created from these Lao-to-Thai inferences. Each scenario consists of profuse lexical features that are consistent with words in Thai and Lao language. This study will be beneficial for language-processing developers as well as linguists in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) investigates the best available choice in the presence of multiple conflicting criteria, whereas the Collaborative Unbiased Rank List Integration (CURLI) method has been proposed recently and has been applied in various fields of daily life. However, most previous works concentrated on analyzing cases in which the factor of a criterion is a specific quantity. The present paper proposes an approach developed from the original CURLI method, named Improved CURLI. This improvement helps solve a problem when the factors of the criteria can be linguistic variables or a data set. The proposed method is applied to rank the alternatives for two case studies: choosing the best grinding wheel and the best service suppliers. The ranking results are compared to those obtained using other methods. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is also conducted to examine the stability and reliability of the ranking results in various scenarios. The results demonstrate the validity of the Improved CURLI method and prove that it is applicable for making decisions in various fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Distinguishing cause and effect from purely observational data is a fundamental problem in science. Even the atomic bivariate case, seemingly the simplest, is challenging and requires assumptions about the underlying data generating process to identify the direction of cause and effect. In recent years, a variety of approaches have been developed to address this problem, each with its own assumptions, strengths, and weaknesses. In machine learning, common benchmarks with real and synthetic data have been a main driver of innovation. For cause-effect identification, real data as well as synthetic benchmarks have been seminal to inspire the development of new causal methods. In contrast to real-world data, synthetic data can explicitly model data characteristics such as the underlying functional relations and underlying data distributions to assess in detail how methods perform. Currently, a systematic assessment of the state-of-the-art of methods on the latest set of real-world data and comprehensive synthetic data is missing. We provide a detailed and systematic comparison of a range of methods on current real-world data and a novel collection of data sets that systematically models individual data challenges. Our evaluation also covers more recent methods missing in previous studies. The aim is to assist users in finding the most suitable methods for their problem setting and for method developers to identify weaknesses of current methods to improve them or develop new methods. The novel suite of data sets will be contributed to the causeme.net benchmark platform to provide a continuously updated and searchable causal discovery method intercomparison database.

In this article, the methods for obtaining time series from an erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) and its numerical simulation are described. In addition, the nature of the obtained files, the meaning of the changing file names, and the ways of accessing these files are described in detail. The response of the laser emission is controlled by the intensity of a digital signal added to the modulation, which allows for various logical operations. The numerical results are in good agreement with experimental observations. The authors provide all of the time series from an experimental implementation where various logic gates are obtained.
