Epidemiology, Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Outcomes of Acinetobacter baumannii Infection at a Regional Hospital in Thailand by Sakulkonkij P, Bruminhent J

“…The survival group had a significantly longer hospital stay compared to the deceased group (15 days vs 7 days; p< 0.001) and also showed an increased microbiological cure rate (49% vs 26%; p< 0.001).Conclusion: XDR A. baumannii leads to serious nosocomial infections. Understanding the risk factors for XDR A. baumannii infections could enhance colistin prescription prior to the antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii infection, multidrug-resistant pathogens, clinical outcomes, microbiological outcomes…”

Research on the robustness of convolutional neural networks in image recognition by Dian LIN, Li PAN, Ping YI

“…Convolutional neural network is one of the key technologies in the application of image recognition and processing in artificial intelligence.Its wide application makes researches on its robustness more and more important.Previous researches on robustness of neural networks were too sweeping and most of them focused on adversarial robustness, which causes difficulty in further study in the mechanism of neural network robustness.The related researches of neuroscience were introduced and the concept of visual robustness was put forward.By studying the similarity and difference between neural network models and human visual system, the internal mechanism and faults of neural network robustness were revealed.The researches of neural network robustness in recent years were reviewed, and the reasons for the lack of robustness of neural network models were analyzed.The lack of robustness of neural networks is reflected in their sensitivity to small perturbations.The reason is that neural networks tend to learn high-frequency information for calculation and inference, which is difficult for humans to recognize.High-frequency information is easily affected by perturbations, and eventually causes mistakes of models.Previous researches on robustness mostly focused on mathematical properties of models, and were limited in the natural faults of neural networks.Visual robustness extends the traditional concept of robustness.The traditional concept of robustness measures the discrimination ability of models for distorted image examples.Distorted examples and clean examples can get correct outputs through robust models.Visual robustness measures the consistency between models and humans in discrimination ability.Visual robustness combines the research methods and achievements of neuroscience and psychology with artificial intelligence.The development of neuroscience in the field of vision were reviewed, and the application of research methods of cognitive psychology in neural network robustness were discussed.Human visual system has advantages in learning and abstract ability, whill neural network models have better performance in calculation speed and memory.The difference between the physiological structure of human brain and the logical structure of neural network models is the key factor leading to the problem of robustness of neural networks.The research of visual robustness requires deeper understanding of human visual system.Revealing the differences in cognitive mechanism between human visual system and neural network models and effectively improving the algorithm are the development trends of neural network robustness and even artificial intelligence.…”
