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.

EEG signal analysis can be used to study brain activity and the function and structure of neural networks, helping to understand neural mechanisms such as cognition, emotion, and behavior. EEG-based auditory attention detection is using EEG signals to determine an individual's level of attention to specific auditory stimuli. In this technique, researchers record and analyze a subject's electrical activity to infer whether an individual is paying attention to a specific auditory stimulus.
