The collective motion of biological species has robust and flexible characteristics. Since the individual of the biological group interacts with other neighbors asymmetrically, which means the pairwise interaction presents asymmetrical characteristics during the collective motion, building the model of the pairwise interaction of the individual is still full of challenges. Based on deep learning (DL) technology, experimental data of the collective motion on Hemigrammus rhodostomus fish are analyzed to build an individual interaction model with multi-parameter input. First, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) structure for pairwise interaction is designed. Then, the interaction model is obtained by means of DNN proper training. We propose a novel key neighbor selection strategy, which is called the Largest Visual Pressure Selection (LVPS) method, to deal with multi-neighbor interaction. Based on the information of the key neighbor identified by LVPS, the individual uses the properly trained DNN model for the pairwise interaction. Compared with other key neighbor selection strategies, the statistical properties of the collective motion simulated by our proposed DNN model are more consistent with those of fish experiments. The simulation shows that our proposed method can extend to large-scale group collective motion for aggregation control. Thereby, the individual can take advantage of quite limited local information to collaboratively achieve large-scale collective motion. Finally, we demonstrate swarm robotics collective motion in an experimental platform. The proposed control method is simple to use, applicable for different scales, and fast for calculation. Thus, it has broad application prospects in the fields of multi-robotics control, intelligent transportation systems, saturated cluster attacks, and multi-agent logistics, among other fields.

AbstractAn extremely broad and important class of phenomena in nature involves the settling and aggregation of matter under gravitation in fluid systems. Here, we observe and model mathematically an unexpected fundamental mechanism by which particles suspended within stratification may self-assemble and form large aggregates without adhesion. This phenomenon arises through a complex interplay involving solute diffusion, impermeable boundaries, and aggregate geometry, which produces toroidal flows. We show that these flows yield attractive horizontal forces between particles at the same heights. We observe that many particles demonstrate a collective motion revealing a system which appears to solve jigsaw-like puzzles on its way to organizing into a large-scale disc-like shape, with the effective force increasing as the collective disc radius grows. Control experiments isolate the individual dynamics, which are quantitatively predicted by simulations. Numerical force calculations with two spheres are used to build many-body simulations which capture observed features of self-assembly.

In evaluating the benefits of an infrastructure project, it is essential to consider who is benefiting from the project and where benefits are located. However, there is no established way to accurately determine the latter. To fill this methodological gap, this study proposes an approach for the ex-post identification of the geographical extent of an area benefiting from a transportation project based on a generalized synthetic control method. Specifically, it allows comparing multiple treatment units with their counterfactuals in a single run—changes in land prices (actual outcome) at each treated site are compared to the counterfactual outcome, and the individual (i.e., unit-level) treatment effect on the treated site is then estimated. This approach is empirically applied to a large-scale Japanese heavy railway, the Tsukuba Express line project. Our approach enables the detection of 1) the complicated spatial shape of benefit incidence; 2) negative spillovers; and 3) the increase in options (train routes), typically not considered in a benefit evaluation system based on the hedonic approach, but which can be capitalized into land prices.

ABSTRACTDeep learning has the ability to extract meaningful features from data given enough training examples. Large scale genomic data are well suited for this class of machine learning algorithms; however, for many of these data the labels are at the level of the sample instead of at the level of the individual genomic measures. To leverage the power of deep learning for these types of data we turn to a multiple instance learning framework, and present an easily extensible tool built with TensorFlow and Keras. We show how this tool can be applied to somatic variants (featurizing genomic position and sequence context), and accurately classify samples according to whether they contain a specific variant (hotspot or tumor suppressor) or whether they contain a type of variant (microsatellite instability). We then apply our model to the calibration of tumor mutational burden (TMB), an increasingly important metric in the field of immunotherapy, across a variety of commonly used gene panels. Regardless of the panel, we observed improvements in regression to the gold standard whole exome derived value for this metric, with additional performance benefits as more data were provided to the model (such as noncoding variants from panel assays). Our results suggest this framework could lead to improvements in a range of tasks where the sample level metric is determined by the aggregation of a set of genomic measures, such as somatic mutations that we focused on in this study.

In recent years as public in general and specialist have been showing big interest to the matters of reading. According to discussion and launch of the “Support and Development of Reading National Program”, many Russian libraries are organizing the large-scale events like marathons, lecture cycles, bibliographic trainings etc. which should draw attention of different social groups to reading. The individual forms of attraction to reading are used much rare. To author’s mind the main reason of such an issue has to be the lack of information about forms and methods of attraction to reading.

UNSTRUCTURED Big data and its approaches are generally helpful for healthcare and biomedical sectors for predicting the disease. For trivial symptoms, the difficulty is to meet the doctors at any time in the hospital. Thus, big data provides essential data regarding the diseases on the basis of the patient’s symptoms. For several medical organizations, disease prediction is important for making the best feasible health care decisions. Conversely, the conventional medical care model offers input as structured that requires more accurate and consistent prediction. This paper is planned to develop the multi-disease prediction using the improvised deep learning concept. Here, the different datasets pertain to “Diabetes, Hepatitis, lung cancer, liver tumor, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease”, from the benchmark UCI repository is gathered for conducting the experiment. The proposed model involves three phases (a) Data normalization (b) Weighted normalized feature extraction, and (c) prediction. Initially, the dataset is normalized in order to make the attribute's range at a certain level. Further, weighted feature extraction is performed, in which a weight function is multiplied with each attribute value for making large scale deviation. Here, the weight function is optimized using the combination of two meta-heuristic algorithms termed as Jaya Algorithm-based Multi-Verse Optimization algorithm (JA-MVO). The optimally extracted features are subjected to the hybrid deep learning algorithms like “Deep Belief Network (DBN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)”. As a modification to hybrid deep learning architecture, the weight of both DBN and RNN is optimized using the same hybrid optimization algorithm. Further, the comparative evaluation of the proposed prediction over the existing models certifies its effectiveness through various performance measures.

Background/aimsTo apply deep learning technology to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can identify vision-threatening conditions in high myopia patients based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) macular images.MethodsIn this cross-sectional, prospective study, a total of 5505 qualified OCT macular images obtained from 1048 high myopia patients admitted to Zhongshan Ophthalmic Centre (ZOC) from 2012 to 2017 were selected for the development of the AI system. The independent test dataset included 412 images obtained from 91 high myopia patients recruited at ZOC from January 2019 to May 2019. We adopted the InceptionResnetV2 architecture to train four independent convolutional neural network (CNN) models to identify the following four vision-threatening conditions in high myopia: retinoschisis, macular hole, retinal detachment and pathological myopic choroidal neovascularisation. Focal Loss was used to address class imbalance, and optimal operating thresholds were determined according to the Youden Index.ResultsIn the independent test dataset, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves were high for all conditions (0.961 to 0.999). Our AI system achieved sensitivities equal to or even better than those of retina specialists as well as high specificities (greater than 90%). Moreover, our AI system provided a transparent and interpretable diagnosis with heatmaps.ConclusionsWe used OCT macular images for the development of CNN models to identify vision-threatening conditions in high myopia patients. Our models achieved reliable sensitivities and high specificities, comparable to those of retina specialists and may be applied for large-scale high myopia screening and patient follow-up.
