Our objective is to analyze scanpaths acquired through participants achieving a reading task aiming at answering a binary question: Is the text related or not to some given target topic? We propose a data-driven method based on hidden semi-Markov chains to segment scanpaths into phases deduced from the model states, which are shown to represent different cognitive strategies: normal reading, fast reading, information search, and slow confirmation. These phases were confirmed using different external covariates, among which semantic information extracted from texts. Analyses highlighted some strong preference of specific participants for specific strategies and more globally, large individual variability in eye-movement characteristics, as accounted for by random effects. As a perspective, the possibility of improving reading models by accounting for possible heterogeneity sources during reading is discussed.

This paper investigates the probabilistic-sampling-based asynchronous control problem for semi-Markov reaction-diffusion neural networks (SMRDNNs). Aiming at mitigating the drawback of the well-known fixed-sampling control law, a more general probabilistic-sampling-based control strategy is developed to characterize the randomly sampling period. The system mode is considered to be related to the sojourn-time and undetectable.

This paper studies the asynchronous output feedback control and H synchronization problems for a class of continuous-time stochastic hidden semi-Markov jump neural networks (SMJNNs) affected by actuator saturation. Initially, a novel neural networks (NNs) model is constructed, incorporating semi-Markov process (SMP), hidden information, and Brownian motion to accurately simulate the complexity and uncertainty of real-world environments. Secondly, acknowledging system mode mismatches and the need for robust anti-interference capabilities, a non-fragile controller based on hidden information is proposed.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted transportation safety, with an increase in risky driving behaviors observed during the initial lockdown period, leading to a higher likelihood of severe crashes. However, there is limited research on the post-pandemic effects on driving behaviors and safety. This study addresses this gap by analyzing open data from the state of Virginia to examine shifts in safety states from 2016 to 2024, covering the pre-, during-, and post-pandemic periods.

Objective: Phonocardiography has recently gained popularity in low-cost and remote monitoring, including passive fetal heart monitoring. The development of methods which analyse phonocardiographic data tries to capitalize on this opportunity, and in recent years a multitude of such algorithms and models have been published. In these approaches there is little to no standardization and multiple parts of these models have to be reimplemented on a case-by-case basis.

The detection of heart disease using a stethoscope requires significant skill and time, making it expensive and impractical for widespread screening in low-resource environments. Machine learning analysis of heart sound recordings can improve upon the accessibility and accuracy of diagnoses, but existing approaches require further validation on larger and more representative clinical datasets. For many previous algorithms, segmenting the signal into its individual sound components is a key first step.
