Parameterized reconstruction of workpiece surfaces is a critical step for advanced manufacturing applications, such as the solving of machining parameters, and the expression of workpiece in situ measurement. Generally, the point clouds model is easy to obtain and can be seen as the source model of the workpiece, and the B-spline surface is always taken as the ideal target parameterized model. Existing research focuses on reconstructing the single-valued surface, which can be projected onto a spatial plane without overlapping. However, the dual-valued surface, which overlaps at least twice, is also commonly encountered in industry, and has few investigations. Therefore, this paper proposes a fast reconstruction method based on reasonable segmentation and parameter domain mapping. In this approach, first, the dual-valued point clouds model is segmented into multiple single-valued point clouds models according to the sought edges in the optimal attitude. Then, the grid point coordinates of the single-valued point clouds model are calculated using the parametric-domain moving least squares method. Finally, the B-spline surface is generated by interpolating these grid points. The proposed algorithm is applied to single-bending closed-section workpieces such as the turbine blade to illustrate the effectiveness of this method. The contrast results with existing method demonstrate that the proposed approach can reconstruct the workpiece with multi-valued surfaces more quickly and more accurately, which is significant in advanced manufacturing.
Electronic health records (EHRs) have been widely adopted among modern hospitals to collect and track clinical data. Secondary analysis of EHRs could complement the traditional randomized control trial (RCT) research model. However, most researchers in China lack either the technical expertise or the resources needed to utilize EHRs as a resource. In addition, a climate of cross-disciplinary collaboration to gain insights from EHRs, a crucial component of a learning healthcare system, is not prevalent. To address these issues, members from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the People's Liberation Army General Hospital (PLAGH) organized the first clinical data conference and health datathon in China, which provided a platform for clinicians, statisticians, and data scientists to team up and address information gaps in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Medical practice generates and stores immense amounts of clinical process data, while integrating and utilization of these data requires interdisciplinary cooperation together with novel models and methods to further promote applications of medical big data and research of artificial intelligence. A "Datathon" model is a novel event of data analysis and is typically organized as intense, short-duration, competitions in which participants with various knowledge and skills cooperate to address clinical questions based on "real world" data. This article introduces the origin of Datathon, organization of the events and relevant practice. The Datathon approach provides innovative solutions to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and new methods for conducting research of big data in healthcare. It also offers insight into teaming up multi-expertise experts to investigate relevant clinical questions and further accelerate the application of medical big data.
Feasible real-time ECG classification algorithms contribute to an early and correct diagnosis of cardiac abnormalities.In this paper, we (team Triology) leverage 80 Hz ECG signals to develop a lightweight end-to-end neural network.A soft voting scheme is applied to determining the prediction in a long record from multiple segments.The model has a ResNet-18 backbone.It integrates standard and dilated convolutions to extract multi-scale information.Anti-aliased blocks are used for shift invariance.Age and sex are included.To encourage the inter-class competition in the multi-label classification task, lovász softmax and weighted cross entropy loss are randomly selected in the training process, which facilitates model convergence.In order to derive a robust model, data augmentation approaches like Gaussian noise, random erasing and shifting are implemented.Our offline validation is carried out using databases from four sources.We score 0.328 using the challenge metric.False negatives are main errors.
This research addresses the challenges of Cross-Lingual Summarization (CLS) in low-resource scenarios and over imbalanced multilingual data. Existing CLS studies mostly resort to pipeline frameworks or multi-task methods in bilingual settings. However, they ignore the data imbalance in multilingual scenarios and do not utilize the high-resource monolingual summarization data. In this paper, we propose the Aligned CROSs-lingual Summarization (ACROSS) model to tackle these issues. Our framework aligns low-resource cross-lingual data with high-resource monolingual data via contrastive and consistency loss, which help enrich low-resource information for high-quality summaries. In addition, we introduce a data augmentation method that can select informative monolingual sentences, which facilitates a deep exploration of high-resource information and introduce new information for low-resource languages. Experiments on the CrossSum dataset show that ACROSS outperforms baseline models and obtains consistently dominant performance on 45 language pairs.
Although evidence-based and effective treatments are available for people with major depressive disorder (MDD), a substantial number do not seek or receive help. Therefore, this study aimed to (1) investigate the total help-seeking rate and first-time help-seeking choices; (2) explore the perceived helpfulness of 23 potential sources; and (3) evaluate the factors related to help-seeking behaviors among patients with MDD.Data came from the Tianjin Mental Health Survey (TJMHS), which included a representative sample of adult community residents (n = 11,748) in the Chinese municipality of Tianjin. Of these, 439 individuals were diagnosed with lifetime MDD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-fourth edition (DSM-IV) and administered a help-seeking questionnaire.In a survey, 28.2% of patients with MDD living community reported that they had ever sought any help during their entire lifetime before the interview, with 8.2% seeking help in mental healthcare settings, 8.0% only in other healthcare settings, and 12.0% only in non-healthcare sources (e.g., family, friends, and spiritual advisor). Among help-seekers, the first help mainly was sought in non-healthcare sources (61.3%), followed by healthcare settings (25.8%) and mental healthcare settings (12.9%). The majority of MDD individuals thought the non-healthcare sources were not helpful and mental healthcare settings were helpful or possibly helpful to solve mental problems. Female, having 10-12 or higher education years, comorbid anxiety disorders were associated with increased help-seeking.A small percentage of individuals with MDD living in community of Tianjin sought help. They preferred non-healthcare sources to healthcare settings. Demographic and clinical features were associated with help-seeking behaviors.
