A Dual-Module System for Copyright-Free Image Recommendation and Infringement Detection in Educational Materials.

Images are extensively utilized in educational materials due to their efficacy in conveying complex concepts. However, unauthorized use of images frequently results in legal issues related to copyright infringement. To mitigate this problem, we introduce a dual-module system specifically designed for educators.

COVID-19 outbreak prediction using Seq2Seq + Attention and Word2Vec keyword time series data.

As of 2022, COVID-19, first reported in Wuhan, China, in November 2019, has become a worldwide epidemic, causing numerous infections and casualties and enormous social and economic damage. To mitigate its impact, various COVID-19 prediction studies have emerged, most of them using mathematical models and artificial intelligence for prediction. However, the problem with these models is that their prediction accuracy is considerably reduced when the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak is short.

Deep similarity analysis and forecasting of actual outbreak of major infectious diseases using Internet-Sourced data.

Perhaps no other generation in the span of recorded human history has endured the risks of infectious diseases as has the current generation. The prevalence of infectious diseases is caused mainly by unlimited contact between people in a highly globalized world. Disease control and prevention (CDC) promptly collect and produce disease outbreak statistics, but CDCs rely on a curated, centralized collection system, and requires up to two weeks of lead time.

DNA functionalization of colloidal particles via physisorption of azide-functionalized diblock copolymers.

DNA-coated inorganic particles can be prepared simply by physical adsorption of azide-functionalized diblock copolymers (polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-azide, PS-b-PEO-N) onto hydrophobically-modified inorganic particles, followed by strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC, copper-free click chemistry). This approach is applied to organosilica, silica and titania particles. The DNA-coated colloids are successfully crystallized into colloidal superstructures by a thermal annealing process using DNA-mediated assembly.
