Published: March 2024

In this study, a binarized neural network (BNN) of silicon diode arrays achieved vector-matrix multiplication (VMM) between the binarized weights and inputs in these arrays. The diodes that operate in a positive-feedback loop in their p-n-p-n device structure possess steep switching and bistable characteristics with an extremely low subthreshold swing (below 1 mV) and a high current ratio (approximately 10). Moreover, the arrays show a self-rectifying functionality and an outstanding linearity by an R-squared value of 0.99986, which allows to compose a synaptic cell with a single diode. A 2 × 2 diode array can perform matrix multiply-accumulate operations for various binarized weight matrix cases with some input vectors, which is in high concordance with the VMM, owing to the high reliability and uniformity of the diodes. Moreover, the disturbance-free, nondestructive readout, and semi-permanent holding characteristics of the diode arrays support the feasibility of implementing the BNN.

Metastatic spine cancer can cause pain and neurological issues, making it challenging to distinguish from spinal compression fractures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To improve diagnostic accuracy, this study developed artificial intelligence (AI) models to differentiate between metastatic spine cancer and spinal compression fractures in MRI images. MRI data from Gyeongsang National University Hospital, collected from January 2019 to April 2022, were processed using Otsu's binarization and Canny edge detection algorithms.

The combined application of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) has achieved remarkable results in coal quality analysis by leveraging NIRS's sensitivity to organic compounds and XRF's reliability for inorganic composition. However, variations in particle size distribution negatively affect the diffuse reflectance of NIRS and the fluorescence signal intensities of XRF, leading to decreased accuracy and repeatability in predictions. To address this issue, this study innovatively proposes a particle size correction method that integrates image processing and deep learning.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers focused on breast cancer subtypes Luminal A and Luminal B, using machine learning to analyze H&E images, aiming to identify tumor characteristics linked to higher recurrence risks.
  • The study involved training models on segmented images of tumors, finding that an image-based protocol effectively predicted recurrence times, comparable to traditional genomic testing methods (PAM50).
  • Results indicated that while adjusting for tumor grade didn't significantly improve subtype prediction, the image analysis provided a viable alternative in identifying patients in need of genomic testing, potentially increasing testing rates among ER+/HER2-patients.
