Optimized Learning for X-Ray Image Classification for Multi-Class Disease Diagnoses with Accelerated Computing Strategies

[Submitted on 1 Jul 2024] View a PDF of the paper titled Optimized Learning for X-Ray Image Classification for Multi-Class Disease Diagnoses with Accelerated Computing Strategies, by Sebastian A. Cruz Romero and 3 other authors View PDF Abstract:X-ray image-based disease diagnosis lies in ensuring the precision of identifying afflictions within the sample, a task fraught with challenges stemming from the occurrence of false positives and false negatives. False positives introduce the risk of erroneously identifying non-existent conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and a decline in patient care quality. Conversely, false negatives pose the threat of overlooking genuine abnormalities, potentially causing delays…

Japan’s government says goodbye to floppy disks

Japan’s government says goodbye to floppy disks

Floppy disks may seem like a relic from an ancient time of computers but there are still places and even governments in the world that still use them to run its most basic functions. Japan is no longer one of those countries.Japan’s Digital Agency announced on Wednesday it has rid its use of outdated floppy disks to operate its government computer systems. The only system still in place that requires the use of floppy disks is an environmental system that monitors vehicle recycling, according to Reuters.Digital Minister Taro Kono declared in a statement to the news agency, “We have won…

Two luxury rivals are joining forces — and Amazon is getting in on the action

Two luxury rivals are joining forces — and Amazon is getting in on the action

Amazon — which has long tried to boost its luxury offerings as part of its "everything store" concept — and Salesforce are getting in on it, too, with both taking minority stakes in the new company, Saks Global. The pair will provide technology and logistics support to the latest luxury giant, the Journal said.As e-commerce and the power of luxury conglomerates like LVMH and Kering have grown, department stores are facing diminishing returns. In 2020, Lord & Taylor filed for bankruptcy. Macy's announced in February that it would be closing 150 stores over the next three years. In a way,…

Long-Term Prediction Accuracy Improvement of Data-Driven Medium-Range Global Weather Forecast

Long-Term Prediction Accuracy Improvement of Data-Driven Medium-Range Global Weather Forecast

arXiv:2407.01598v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-term stability stands as a crucial requirement in data-driven medium-range global weather forecasting. Spectral bias is recognized as the primary contributor to instabilities, as data-driven methods difficult to learn small-scale dynamics. In this paper, we reveal that the universal mechanism for these instabilities is not only related to spectral bias but also to distortions brought by processing spherical data using conventional convolution. These distortions lead to a rapid amplification of errors over successive long-term iterations, resulting in a significant decline in forecast accuracy. To address this issue, a universal neural operator called the Spherical Harmonic…

SeFlow: A Self-Supervised Scene Flow Method in Autonomous Driving

SeFlow: A Self-Supervised Scene Flow Method in Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2407.01702v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scene flow estimation predicts the 3D motion at each point in successive LiDAR scans. This detailed, point-level, information can help autonomous vehicles to accurately predict and understand dynamic changes in their surroundings. Current state-of-the-art methods require annotated data to train scene flow networks and the expense of labeling inherently limits their scalability. Self-supervised approaches can overcome the above limitations, yet face two principal challenges that hinder optimal performance: point distribution imbalance and disregard for object-level motion constraints. In this paper, we propose SeFlow, a self-supervised method that integrates efficient dynamic classification into a learning-based scene…

Deciphering the Factors Influencing the Efficacy of Chain-of-Thought: Probability, Memorization, and Noisy Reasoning

Deciphering the Factors Influencing the Efficacy of Chain-of-Thought: Probability, Memorization, and Noisy Reasoning

arXiv:2407.01687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has been shown to enhance the multi-step reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, debates persist about whether LLMs exhibit abstract generalization or rely on shallow heuristics when given CoT prompts. To understand the factors influencing CoT reasoning we provide a detailed case study of the symbolic reasoning task of decoding shift ciphers, where letters are shifted forward some number of steps in the alphabet. GPT-4 achieves zero accuracy on most shift ciphers with standard prompting, but with CoT its accuracy improves to an average of 32%. By focusing on a…

Your next webcam could be a Game Boy Camera

Your next webcam could be a Game Boy Camera

Forget your phone cameras and laptop built-ins; your next webcam could be your old Game Boy Camera. The team (sort of) bringing this peripheral into the modern age is Epilogue. The company makes the GB Operator, which lets people play original Game Boy, Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Color cartridges on a current PC or a Steam Deck.Today, Epilogue announced that it is working on an update that will make the Game Boy Camera into a webcam, but one that's a fuzzy, lo-fi, 16 kilopixel experience. The magic happens through the Playback emulator app that powers the GB Operator."We…

Como reutilizar sua UI

Como reutilizar sua UI

Basicamente todo mundo que conheço acaba criando componentes reutilizáveis para reaproveitar o trabalho feito. Essa é uma abstração enganosamente simples: é fácil criar um Button, mas é surpreendentemente difícil conseguir reutilizar ele em todos os casos de uso em um projeto. Eu aprendi algumas coisas com o passar dos anos, e vejo que várias pessoas acabam metendo o pé na jaca sem perceber. Quero compartilhar algumas dicas para evitar que algumas jacas sejam pisadas. Tenho um viés de React mas tudo pode ser aplicado em outros contextos, desde que tenha componentização da UI. 1) Evitar margens Colocar margens no seu…
