TRI-POSE-Net: Adaptive 3D human pose estimation through selective kernel networks and self-supervision with trifocal tensors.

Accurate and flexible 3D pose estimation for virtual entities is a strenuous task in computer vision applications. Conventional methods struggle to capture realistic movements; thus, creative solutions that can handle the complexities of genuine avatar interactions in dynamic virtual environments are imperative. In order to tackle the problem of precise 3D pose estimation, this work introduces TRI-POSE-Net, a model intended for scenarios with limited supervision.

Early detection of autism spectrum disorder using explainable AI and optimized teaching strategies.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by the deficits of social relating, language, object use and understanding, intelligence and learning, and verbal and nonverbal communication. Most of the individuals with ASD have genetic conditions; however, early identification and intervention reduce the use of health services and other diagnostic procedures. The varied nature of ASD is widely acknowledged, with each affected individual displaying distinct traits.

Sparse Count Data Clustering Using an Exponential Approximation to Generalized Dirichlet Multinomial Distributions.

Clustering frequency vectors is a challenging task on large data sets considering its high dimensionality and sparsity nature. Generalized Dirichlet multinomial (GDM) distribution is a competitive generative model for count data in terms of accuracy, yet its parameters estimation process is slow. The exponential-family approximation of the multivariate Polya distribution has shown to be efficient to train and cluster data directly, without dimensionality reduction.

Lethal Poisoning of Cancer Cells by Respiratory Chain Inhibition plus Dimethyl α-Ketoglutarate.

Inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by 1-cyclopropyl-4-(4-[(5-methyl-3-(3-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridin-2-yl)piperazine (BAY87-2243, abbreviated as B87), a complex I inhibitor, fails to kill human cancer cells in vitro. Driven by this consideration, we attempted to identify agents that engage in synthetically lethal interactions with B87. Here, we report that dimethyl α-ketoglutarate (DMKG), a cell-permeable precursor of α-ketoglutarate that lacks toxicity on its own, kills cancer cells when combined with B87 or other inhibitors of OXPHOS.

Author Correction: Squaramide-based synthetic chloride transporters activate TFEB but block autophagic flux.

In the version of this article originally submitted, it was stated that the first three authors (Shaoyi_ Than, Yan Wang, Wei Xie) had contributed equally. However, in the published version this information was missing.
