This research tests the role of visual perspective taking (VPT) in mediating the relation between spatial ability and theory of mind (ToM). Study 1 demonstrated such mediation correlationally in seventy 3.5- to 4-year olds. In Study 2, twenty-three 3.5- to 4-year-olds were trained on using play blocks to copy preassembled models as a way to promote spatial ability. Resultant increases in VPT and ToM were compared to those from a control group learning to draw instead (n = 23). Both studies showed that the effect of spatial ability on ToM depended on VPT, suggesting a role of embodiment in ToM development in early childhood. These findings provide an alternative way to think about ToM development and the psychological mechanism that may be involved.

Remote sensing change detection (RSCD), which utilizes dual-temporal images to predict change locations, plays an essential role in long-term Earth observation missions. Although many deep learning based RSCD models perform well, challenges remain in effectively extracting change information between dual-temporal images and fully leveraging interactions between their feature maps. To address these challenges, a constraint- and interaction-based network (CINet) for RSCD is proposed.

The semantic segmentation of bone structures demands pixel-level classification accuracy to create reliable bone models for diagnosis. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are commonly used for segmentation, they often struggle with complex shapes due to their focus on texture features and limited ability to incorporate positional information. As orthopedic surgery increasingly requires precise automatic diagnosis, we explored SegFormer, an enhanced Vision Transformer model that better handles spatial awareness in segmentation tasks.

Background: Deep learning (DL) has set new standards in cancer diagnosis, significantly enhancing the accuracy of automated classification of whole slide images (WSIs) derived from biopsied tissue samples. To enable DL models to process these large images, WSIs are typically divided into thousands of smaller tiles, each containing 10-50 cells. Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a commonly used approach, where WSIs are treated as bags comprising numerous tiles (instances) and only bag-level labels are provided during training.
