We explore the architecture of deep learning models, emphasising their data-specific structures and underlying algorithms. Subsequently, we compare different deep learning strategies utilised in COVID-19 analysis, evaluating them based on methodology, data, performance, and prerequisites for future research. By examining diverse data types and diagnostic modalities, this research contributes to scientific understanding and knowledge of the multimodal application of DL and its effectiveness in diagnosis. We have implemented and analysed 11 deep learning models using COVID-19 image, text, and speech (ie, cough) data. Our analysis revealed that the MobileNet model achieved the highest accuracy of 99.97% for COVID-19 image data and 93.73% for speech data (i.e., cough). However, the BiGRU model demonstrated superior performance in COVID-19 text classification with an accuracy of 99.89%.

In MLMP welding, typically executed with Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and shielding gas protection, the continuous deposition of weld beads results in dynamic changes to the seam geometry. These challenging traditional robotic welding systems rely on static models. To ensure high-quality joints, real-time adaptation of welding paths requires accurate predictions of weld bead geometry, which in turn guide the estimation of welding positions for adaptive trajectory planning. In this study, we introduce the Adaptive & Dynamic Arc Padding (ADAP) framework. This novel data-driven approach integrates deep learning with an innovative arc-based representation of weld bead profiles. By representing the weld bead geometry through image-derived boundaries and primitive arc parameters (arc center and radius), ADAP establishes a direct link between welding parameters and the evolving weld seam profile. Utilizing datasets generated from Flow-3D simulations of the MLMP process, our framework achieves high-accuracy, real-time predictions: welding positions are estimated within 0.025 s (with an average error of approximately 1.5 mm), and weld seam profiles are predicted in 15 ms, with the arc-based geometric parameters accurately estimated (average errors of 0.73 mm in arc center position and 0.66 mm in radius). This practical approach enhances the efficiency and quality of MLMP robotic welding and contributes to advances in data-driven modeling and intelligent control in manufacturing, paving the way for autonomous welding systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100068,"journal":{"name":"AI Open","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 204-219"},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145361833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent “AI for Science” achievements – from protein-structure prediction to accelerated climate simulations – have proven the value of task-level AI-driven solutions. Yet, potential still remains unrealized when these advances are siloed in disciplinary “archipelagos”. This paper argues that the real prize is systemic: AI that simultaneously expands the research objects’ data landscape (AI for Data), rewires computational research tools (AI for Computation), and co-creates hypotheses with researchers (AI for Innovation). When these three pushes converge, AI stops being merely a revolution of tools but becomes the tool of revolution — a catalyst that raises the frequency, breadth, and depth of discovery across disciplines.

However, their performance significantly deteriorates when the input surpasses a threshold slightly larger than the pre-training context window. This limitation on the effective context window confines the application of Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) that have been the subject of great anticipation. Consequently, the generalization of pre-trained LLMs to handle varying input lengths becomes a pivotal and formidable challenge. Previous research has endeavored to address this challenge by modifying the Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE), the primary factor responsible for disparities in handling different input lengths. These efforts have provided valuable insights, while they often lack a deep understanding of the root causes of performance degradation and rely heavily on manual parameter tuning. In response to these issues, we conduct a comprehensive analysis and identify two primary causes behind the performance drop: global distribution mismatch and local resolution degradation. In light of these challenges, we introduce an Optimal RoPE (ORoPE) extension using Bayesian Optimization (BO), which alleviates the need for additional model training.
