SoftBank Group Corp. is likely to report a small profit, an indication of how past mistakes continue to weigh on the company even as billionaire founder Masayoshi Son prepares his next big AI bet.Emerging from a month of sharp selloffs, the Tokyo-based investment firm on Wednesday is expected to report a net income of ¥1 billion ($6.9 million) for the June quarter, according to the average of three analysts polled. That compares with a big loss of ¥477.6 billion a year ago, but is tiny compared with profits in the preceding two quarters, attesting to the continued drag from hundreds…

IBB Traffic Graph Data: Benchmarking and Road Traffic Prediction Model

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2408.01016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Road traffic congestion prediction is a crucial component of intelligent transportation systems, since it enables proactive traffic management, enhances suburban experience, reduces environmental impact, and improves overall safety and efficiency. Although there are several public datasets, especially for metropolitan areas, these datasets may not be applicable to practical scenarios due to insufficiency in the scale of data (i.e. number of sensors and road links) and several external factors like different characteristics of the target area such as urban, highways and the data collection location. To address this, this paper introduces a novel IBB Traffic graph…

Amodal Segmentation for Laparoscopic Surgery Video Instruments

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2408.01067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Segmentation of surgical instruments is crucial for enhancing surgeon performance and ensuring patient safety. Conventional techniques such as binary, semantic, and instance segmentation share a common drawback: they do not accommodate the parts of instruments obscured by tissues or other instruments. Precisely predicting the full extent of these occluded instruments can significantly improve laparoscopic surgeries by providing critical guidance during operations and assisting in the analysis of potential surgical errors, as well as serving educational purposes. In this paper, we introduce Amodal Segmentation to the realm of surgical instruments in the medical field. This technique…

High-Throughput Phenotyping of Clinical Text Using Large Language Models

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2408.01214v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-throughput phenotyping automates the mapping of patient signs to standardized ontology concepts and is essential for precision medicine. This study evaluates the automation of phenotyping of clinical summaries from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database using large language models. Due to their rich phenotype data, these summaries can be surrogates for physician notes. We conduct a performance comparison of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-Turbo. Our results indicate that GPT-4 surpasses GPT-3.5-Turbo in identifying, categorizing, and normalizing signs, achieving concordance with manual annotators comparable to inter-rater agreement. Despite some limitations in sign normalization, the extensive pre-training…

Angular Data Binding Demo

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , , , , ,
Here I am demonstrating data binding in a small application. Data binding automatically keeps your page up-to-date based on your application's state (direct quote from the Angular docs). Essentially, data binding makes our applications more dynamic and interesting. There are two broad categories of data binding in Angular. There is one-way data binding and two-way data binding. One way data binding can be categorized on whether it is data source to view target (source to view) or view target to data source (view to source). One-way data binding Interpolation: source to view. Double curly brace syntax is used like this…
