It is unknown whether higher functions in sublevels of competence other than instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are associated with vaccinations. This study examined whether higher functions, including intellectual activity (IA) and social role (SR), were associated with vaccinations among 26,177 older adults. Older adults with incapable activities in IA and SR had increased risks for non-receipt of influenza vaccinations (IA: for one incapable task/activity: incident rate ratio (IRR) = 1.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02-1.09; SR: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.08-1.16). Those with incapable activities in IADL and IA had increased risks for non-receipt of pneumococcal vaccination (IADL: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.05-1.23; IA: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.10, 95% CI = 1.08-1.12). Those with incapable activities in IADL, IA, and SR had increased risks for non-receipt of both of the two vaccinations (IADL: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.03-1.33; IA: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.18, 95% CI = 1.11-1.25; SR: for two incapable tasks: IRR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.07-1.20). Having a family physician mitigated associations for non-receipt, regardless of competency. Our results suggest-maintaining the higher functions are important for older adults to undergo recommended vaccinations as scheduled; also, having a family physician to promote vaccinations is beneficial even for older adults with limited functions.

6-D Object Pose Estimation Based on Point Pair Matching for Robotic Grasp Detection.
IEEE Trans Neural Netw Learn Syst
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- The 6-D pose estimation is important for robotic grasping and currently relies on keypoint correspondence, which asks for accurate detection of object keypoints in real environments.* -
- Existing methods like RANSAC-based PnP struggle with differentiability in training, while direct regression approaches are fast but less accurate in pose estimation, prompting the need for improvement.* -
- The proposed PPM6D method combines RGB features with point cloud data through a cross-fusion module, utilizes an attention mechanism, and matches points effectively, leading to superior performance in pose estimation over traditional keypoint methods.*

Tucker decomposition is widely used for image representation, data reconstruction, and machine learning tasks, but the calculation cost for updating the Tucker core is high. Bilevel form of triple decomposition (TriD) overcomes this issue by decomposing the Tucker core into three low-dimensional third-order factor tensors and plays an important role in the dimension reduction of data representation. TriD, on the other hand, is incapable of precisely encoding similarity relationships for tensor data with a complex manifold structure.

However, the conventional methods have great limitations in practical applications, due to their high dependence on large labelled data sources and incapability to do complex tasks. In this Letter, we report an image-free semi-supervised sensing framework based on GAN and achieve an end-to-end global optimization on the part-labelled datasets.

Enhanced matrix inference with Seq2seq models via diagonal sorting.

The effectiveness of sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) models in natural language processing has been well-established over time, and recent studies have extended their utility by treating mathematical computing tasks as instances of machine translation and achieving remarkable results. However, our exploratory experiments have revealed that the seq2seq model, when employing a generic sorting strategy, is incapable of inferring on matrices of unseen rank, resulting in suboptimal performance. This paper aims to address this limitation by focusing on the matrix-to-sequence process and proposing a novel diagonal-based sorting.
