Head rotation and the perception of eyelid height and contour by Daniel B Rootman, Elana Meer, Nicholas J Jackson, Stefania B Diniz, John M Nesemann

“…This study investigates surgeons’ and laypeople’s accuracy and efficiency in perceiving eyelid asymmetry from different spatial perspectives.Methods A prospective psychometric experiment was conducted where oculoplastic surgeons were recruited from the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Brazilian Oculoplastic Surgery Society, and control participants were recruited via crowdsourcing (Amazon’s Mechanical Turk). Standard illustrations of the human face with varying degrees of eyelid abnormality, laterality, gender and rotation were presented to participants who were asked to judge whether the eyelids were symmetric or asymmetric.Results The survey was completed by 75 oculoplastic surgeons (49.33% male; mean age of 46.9±10.7) and 192 lay individuals (54.6% male; mean age 34.6±11.3 years). …”

Noise-resilient designs and analysis for optical neural networks by Gianluca Kosmella, Ripalta Stabile, Jaron Sanders

“…The results indicate that adding just a few components and/or adding them only in the first (few) layers in the manner of either design can already be expected to increase the accuracy of ONNs considerably. To illustrate the effect we point to a specific simulation of a LeNet implementation, in which adding one copy of the layers components in each layer reduces the mean-squared error (MSE) by 59.1% for the tree-like design and by 51.5% for the accordion-like design. …”
