Timely identification and diagnosis of this condition are critical to prevent vision loss. A range of diagnostic techniques is employed to achieve this, from traditional methods reliant on expert interpretation to modern, fully computerized diagnostic approaches. The integration of computerized systems designed for the early detection and classification of clinical indicators of glaucoma holds immense potential to enhance the accuracy of disease diagnosis. Pupillary Light Reflex (PLR) analysis emerges as a promising avenue for glaucoma screening, mainly due to its cost-effectiveness compared to exams such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA), and fundoscopic examinations. The noninvasive nature of PLR testing obviates the need for disposable components and agents for pupil dilation. This facilitates multiple successive administrations of the test and enables the possibility of remote execution. This study aimed to improve the automated diagnosis of glaucoma using PLR data, conducting an extensive comparative analysis incorporating neural networks and machine learning techniques. It also compared the performance of different data processing methods, including filtering techniques, feature extraction, data balancing, feature selection, and their effects on classification. The findings offer insights and guidelines for future methodologies in glaucoma screening utilizing pupillary light response signals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8417,"journal":{"name":"Array","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100359"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590005624000250/pdfft?md5=17199a115ebd5deefc6427889a273079&pid=1-s2.0-S2590005624000250-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One way to achieve this is by learning the syntax of the commands, which is a complex task because of the expansive and evolving nature of command syntax.

Our methodology involved constructing a specialized vocabulary from our commands dataset, and training a custom tokenizer with a Masked Language Model head, resulting in the development of a BERT-like language model. This model exhibits proficiency in learning command syntax by predicting masked tokens. In comparative analyses, our language model outperformed the Markov Model in categorizing commands using clustering algorithms (DBSCAN, HDBSCAN, OPTICS). The language model achieved higher Silhouette scores (0.72, 0.88, 0.85) compared to the Markov Model (0.53, 0.25, 0.06) and demonstrated significantly lower noise levels (2.63%, 5.39%, 8.49%) versus the Markov Model’s higher noise rates (9.31%, 29.85%, 50.35%). Further validation with manually crafted syntax and BERTScore assessments consistently produced metrics above 0.90 for precision, recall, and F1-score.

As a privacy engineering strategy, they are one of the main approaches to privacy by design, supporting the early identification of threats and controls. However, there is still a shortage of empirical evidence on their use and proven effectiveness in practice. To better understand the current literature and research, this paper provides a comprehensive Scoping Review (ScR) on the topic of PIAs “in the wild,” following the well-established Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This ScR includes 45 studies, providing an extensive synthesis of the existing body of knowledge, classifying types of research and publications, appraising the methodological quality of primary research, and summarising the positive and negative aspects of PIAs in practice, as reported by those studies. This ScR also identifies significant research gaps (e.g., evidence gaps from contradictory results and methodological gaps from research design deficiencies), future research pathways, and implications for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers developing and using PIA frameworks. As we conclude, there is still a significant need for more primary research on the topic, both qualitative and quantitative. A critical appraisal of qualitative studies revealed deficiencies in the methodological quality, and only four quantitative studies were identified, suggesting that current primary research remains incipient. Nonetheless, PIAs can be regarded as a prominent sub-area in the broader field of empirical privacy engineering, in which further scientific research to support existing practices is needed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8417,"journal":{"name":"Array","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100356"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590005624000225/pdfft?md5=fc78c3586c447695244b568609d2c91f&pid=1-s2.0-S2590005624000225-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141604898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves predicting user actions, such as the next product purchase or movie selection, by exploring sequential purchase behavior and integrating users’ general preferences. These elements may converge and influence users’ subsequent choices. The challenge intensifies with the presence of varied user purchase sequences in the training set, as indiscriminate incorporation of these sequences can introduce superfluous noise. In response to these challenges, we propose an innovative approach: the Selective Hierarchical Representation Model (SHRM). This model effectively integrates transactional data and user profiles to discern both sequential purchase transactions and general user preferences. The SHRM’s adaptability, particularly in employing nonlinear aggregation operations on user representations, enables it to model complex interactions among various influencing factors. Notably, the SHRM employs a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to capture extended dependencies in recent purchasing activities. Moreover, it incorporates an innovative sequence similarity task, grounded in a k-plet sampling strategy. This strategy clusters similar sequences, significantly mitigating the learning process’s noise impact. Through empirical validation on three diverse real-world datasets, we demonstrate that our model consistently surpasses leading benchmarks across various evaluation metrics, establishing a new standard in next-basket recommendation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8417,"journal":{"name":"Array","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100354"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590005624000201/pdfft?md5=78ee4b9a97b496d96fbd334c5bf79bfb&pid=1-s2.0-S2590005624000201-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141485906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its debilitating nature, early detection of Alzheimer’s disease holds considerable advantages for affected individuals. This study investigates machine-learning methodologies for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, utilizing datasets sourced from OASIS and ADNI. The initial classification methods consist of a 5-class ADNI classification and a 3-class OASIS classification. Three unique methodologies encompass binary-class inter-dataset models, which involve training on a single dataset and subsequently testing on another dataset for both ADNI and OASIS datasets. Additionally, a hybrid dataset model is also considered. The proposed methodology entails the concatenation of both datasets, followed by shuffling and subsequently conducting training and testing on the amalgamated dataset. The findings demonstrate impressive levels of accuracy, as Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) achieved a 99.63% accuracy rate for 5-class ADNI classification and a 95.75% accuracy rate by Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) for 3-class OASIS classification, both when hyperparameter tweaking was implemented. The K-nearest neighbor algorithm demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an accuracy of 87.50% in ADNI-OASIS (2 Class) when utilizing the Select K Best method. The Gaussian Naive Bayes algorithm demonstrated exceptional performance in the OASIS-ADNI approach, attaining an accuracy of 77.97% using Chi-squared feature selection.
