Natural language processing is an exciting and emerging field in health care that can transform the field of orthopaedics. It can aid in the process of automated clinical data analysis, changing the way we extract data for various purposes including research and registry formation, diagnosis, and medical billing. This scoping review will look at the various applications of NLP in orthopaedics. Specific examples of NLP applications include identification of essential data elements from surgical and imaging reports, patient feedback analysis, and use of AI conversational agents for patient engagement. We will demonstrate how NLP has proven itself to be a powerful and valuable tool. Despite these potential advantages, there are drawbacks we must consider. Concerns with data quality, bias, privacy, and accessibility may stand as barriers in the way of widespread implementation of NLP technology. As natural language processing technology continues to develop, it has the potential to revolutionize orthopaedic research and clinical practices and enhance patient outcomes.

Towards Context-Rich Automated Biodiversity Assessments: Deriving AI-Powered Insights from Camera Trap Data.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, James Parsons Building, Byrom Street, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK.

Camera traps offer enormous new opportunities in ecological studies, but current automated image analysis methods often lack the contextual richness needed to support impactful conservation outcomes. Integrating vision-language models into these workflows could address this gap by providing enhanced contextual understanding and enabling advanced queries across temporal and spatial dimensions. Here, we present an integrated approach that combines deep learning-based vision and language models to improve ecological reporting using data from camera traps.

Semantically-Enhanced Feature Extraction with CLIP and Transformer Networks for Driver Fatigue Detection.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada.

Drowsy driving is a leading cause of commercial vehicle traffic crashes. The trend is to train fatigue detection models using deep neural networks on driver video data, but challenges remain in coarse and incomplete high-level feature extraction and network architecture optimization. This paper pioneers the use of the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model for fatigue detection.

Dialogue systems must understand children's utterance intentions by considering their unique linguistic characteristics, such as syntactic incompleteness, pronunciation inaccuracies, and creative expressions, to enable natural conversational engagement in child-robot interactions. Even state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) for language understanding and contextual awareness cannot comprehend children's intent as accurately as humans because of their distinctive features. An LLM-based dialogue system should acquire the manner by which humans understand children's speech to enhance its intention reasoning performance in verbal interactions with children.

A Review on Remediation Technology and the Remediation Evaluation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soils.

Toxics

December 2024

Ecological Complexity and Modeling Laboratory, Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California-Riverside, Riverside, CA 92521, USA.

With the rapid development of industry and agriculture, soil contamination has become a significant environmental issue, and the heavy metal contamination of soils is an important part of it. The main methods for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils include physical methods, chemical methods, biological methods, and combined remediation methods have been proposed as research deepens. However, the standards and evaluation methods for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils are still not well-established.
