Expert-aware uncertainty estimation for quality control of neural-based blood typing

Expert-aware uncertainty estimation for quality control of neural-based blood typing

arXiv:2407.11181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In medical diagnostics, accurate uncertainty estimation for neural-based models is essential for complementing second-opinion systems. Despite neural network ensembles' proficiency in this problem, a gap persists between actual uncertainties and predicted estimates. A major difficulty here is the lack of labels on the hardness of examples: a typical dataset includes only ground truth target labels, making the uncertainty estimation problem almost unsupervised. Our novel approach narrows this gap by integrating expert assessments of case complexity into the neural network's learning process, utilizing both definitive target labels and supplementary complexity ratings. We validate our methodology for…

The Effects of Embodiment and Personality Expression on Learning in LLM-based Educational Agents

The Effects of Embodiment and Personality Expression on Learning in LLM-based Educational Agents

arXiv:2407.10993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work investigates how personality expression and embodiment affect personality perception and learning in educational conversational agents. We extend an existing personality-driven conversational agent framework by integrating LLM-based conversation support tailored to an educational application. We describe a user study built on this system to evaluate two distinct personality styles: high extroversion and agreeableness and low extroversion and agreeableness. For each personality style, we assess three models: (1) a dialogue-only model that conveys personality through dialogue, (2) an animated human model that expresses personality solely through dialogue, and (3) an animated human model that expresses…

I may be in my 90s, but I’m not sure I want Hollywood to ‘de-age’ me like Tom Hanks | Sheila Hancock

In my long life, I have had to get my head around massive technological changes. When I was young, I relied on my knowledge of the times tables, and counting on my fingers, to add up. It took me weeks to master the revolutionary Amstrad word processor. The only phone was in the hall, calls strictly rationed by my father. Over the years, I have braved the exasperation of my grandchildren, and now Google, Zoom and unmute with the best of them.But the latest incomprehensible technical revolution has me flummoxed. I seriously fear I will not have mastered artificial intelligence…

The best smart scales, plus how to choose one

The best smart scales, plus how to choose one

Sure, it’s easy enough to weigh yourself using a standard scale, but when you take the leap and switch to smart scales, you’ll never look back. From basic weight information to a detailed look at your BMI, muscle mass, body fat percentage and more, the best smart scale can help you keep track of your weight over time, allowing you to hone in on your health-and-wellness routine safely and accurately. Smart scales connect to your phone or mobile device using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, allowing you to keep track of those all-important health metrics more easily and securely (no more worrying…

Creating a Smooth Transitioning Dialog Component in React (Part 4/4)

Creating a Smooth Transitioning Dialog Component in React (Part 4/4)

Part 4: Final Refinements In Part 3, I enhanced the DialogAnimation component to calculate both expanded and minimised dimensions. This approach ensured accurate and visually appealing transitions by using successive render cycles to measure the dimensions. However, it introduced complexity and potential performance issues, particularly causing jank or flicker during the dimension calculation process. Introducing the Invisible Container To tackle the flickering issue, I'm introducing a secondary, invisible container exclusively for dimension calculations. This concept is inspired by techniques used in game development, such as double buffering, blitting, or offscreen rendering. These techniques help manage rendering by performing calculations offscreen…

Queen-size mattresses are selling for as little as $175 in the US, thanks to Chinese overproduction

Queen-size mattresses are selling for as little as $175 in the US, thanks to Chinese overproduction

China's mattresses are flooding US markets and depressing prices so much that customers can now buy a queen-size product for under $175, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.However, the mattress industry continues to be plagued by competition in the lower end of the market, prompting suspicions that Chinese manufacturers have been exporting their products to the US via third countries, per WSJ.US Customs and Border Protection is now probing 12 US importers of shipping mattresses from China through South Korea as imports jumped 10 times from March to August last year, according to an official report.Mattress prices run the…
