AI Article Synopsis

  • The rapid increase in memory and computing power is leading to more complex and imbalanced datasets, particularly in clinical data where minority events are rare compared to the majority class.
  • The authors propose a new framework for imbalanced classification using reinforcement learning, which utilizes dueling and double deep Q-learning methods and is tailored for multi-class scenarios.
  • Their approach demonstrates superior performance over existing methods in real-world clinical case studies, promoting fairer classification and better predictions for minority classes.

Article Abstract

Unlabelled: With the rapid growth of memory and computing power, datasets are becoming increasingly complex and imbalanced. This is especially severe in the context of clinical data, where there may be one rare event for many cases in the majority class. We introduce an imbalanced classification framework, based on reinforcement learning, for training extremely imbalanced data sets, and extend it for use in multi-class settings. We combine dueling and double deep Q-learning architectures, and formulate a custom reward function and episode-training procedure, specifically with the capability of handling multi-class imbalanced training. Using real-world clinical case studies, we demonstrate that our proposed framework outperforms current state-of-the-art imbalanced learning methods, achieving more fair and balanced classification, while also significantly improving the prediction of minority classes.

Background: Receptive language, the ability to comprehend and respond to spoken language, poses significant challenges for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To support communication in autistic children, interventions like Lovaas' simple-conditional method and Green's conditional-only method are commonly employed. Personalized approaches are essential due to the spectrum nature of autism.

How Dopamine Enables Learning from Aversion.

Curr Opin Behav Sci

February 2025

Feinberg School of Medicine, Department of Neuroscience, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA.

Dopamine is heavily studied for its role in reward learning, but it is becoming increasingly appreciated that dopamine can also enable learning from aversion. Dopamine neurons modulate their firing and neurotransmitter release patterns in response to aversive outcomes. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in the timing and directionality of the modulation.

School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Soochow University, No.8 Jixue Road, Suzhou City, Jiangsu, 215000, China.

Microscopic imaging is a critical tool in scientific research, biomedical studies, and engineering applications, with an urgent need for system miniaturization and rapid, precision autofocus techniques. However, traditional microscopes and autofocus methods face hardware limitations and slow software speeds in achieving this goal. In response, this paper proposes the implementation of an adaptive Liquid Lens Microscope System utilizing Deep Reinforcement Learning-based Autofocus (DRLAF).
