Recently banana plantations have been affected by the Black Sigatoka Disease (BSD), producing streaks, lesions and yellow and brown spots on the leaves until the appearance of entire dead parts. The disease causes reductions in yield making...

Assessing and Optimizing Socio-Moral Reasoning Skills: Findings From the MorALERT Serious Video Game

BackgroundSocial cognition and competence are a key part of daily interactions and essential for satisfying relationships and well-being. Pediatric neurological and psychological conditions can affect social cognition and require assessment...

DCN-Deeplabv3+: A Novel Road Segmentation Algorithm Based on Improved Deeplabv3+

Road segmentation is an important task in the field of semantic segmentation, and the Deeplabv3+ algorithm, which is commonly used for road segmentation, has shortcomings, such as numerous parameters and a tendency to lose detailed informat...

A machine learning approach predicts future risk to suicidal ideation from social media data

Abstract Machine learning analysis of social media data represents a promising way to capture longitudinal environmental influences contributing to individual risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Our objective was to generate an algori...

Towards Transparency by Design for Artificial Intelligence

In this article, we develop the concept of Transparency by Design that serves as practical guidance in helping promote the beneficial functions of transparency while mitigating its challenges in automated-decision making (ADM) environments....

Creativity and Artificial Intelligence

Creativity and Artificial Intelligence: A Conceptual Blending Approach takes readers into a computationally plausible model of creativity. Inspired by a thorough analysis of work on creativity from the areas of philosophy, psychology, cogni...

On Artificial Intelligence

The most profoundly depressing of all ideas about the future of the human species is the concept of artificial intelligence. The ambition that human beings will ultimately cap their success as evolutionary overachievers by manufacturing com...

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Humans

This eighteen issue of DIALOGO [2023.10.1] is dedicated to the general purpose of our endeavor, i.e., building a valuable and non-utopic dialogue between all science domains and as many theologies and spiritualities as possible. At the same...

<bold>CroSSHeteroFL</bold>: Cross-Stratified Sampling Composition-Fitting to Federated Learning for Heterogeneous Clients

In the large-scale deployment of federated learning (FL) systems, the heterogeneity of clients, such as mobile phones and Internet of Things (IoT) devices with different configurations, constitutes a significant problem regarding fairness, ...

Health Equity Journal: Special Issue Guest Editorial

The practices of contemporary clinical decision-making and care rely heavily on racial biological essentialism, which is a set of ideas originating in modern science that describes populations as comprising distinct subpopulations with uniq...

Trustworthy artificial intelligence

Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) brings forth many opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing of individuals and the advancement of economies and societies, but also a variety of novel ethical, legal, social, and technological challe...

Decoding death and dying in people with dementia by digital thanotyping: a longitudinal observational study protocol.

Sex-based differences in characteristics, management, and outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) exhibits significant sex-based differences in clinical presentation, management, and outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate these differences using data from the Swedish Heart Failure Reg...

Evaluating Artificial Intelligence’s Role in Developing Research Questions in Head and Neck Reconstruction

Summary:. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) large language models are an emerging technology, with ChatGPT and Gemini being 2 well-known examples. The current literature discusses clinical applications and limitations of AI, but its r...

Artificial Intelligence: A Guide to Intelligent Systems

From the Publisher: Virtually all the literature on artificial intelligence is expressed in the jargon of commuter science, crowded with complex matrix algebra and differential equations. Unlike many other books on computer intelligence, t...

Legal Personhood for Artificial Intelligences

Could an artificial intelligence (AI) become a legal person? As of today, this question is only theoretical. First, putting the AI debate in a concrete legal context acts as a pragmatic Occam’s razor. Second, and more controversially, the p...

Explainable and perturbation-resilient model for cyber-threat detection in industrial control systems Networks

Abstract Deep learning-based intrusion detection systems (DL-IDS) have proven effective in detecting cyber threats. However, their vulnerability to adversarial attacks and environmental noise, particularly in industrial settings, limits pra...

Emergentist View on Generative Narrative Cognition: Considering Principles of the Self-Organization of Mental Stories
