Lightweight deep learning system for automated bone age assessment in Chinese children: enhancing clinical efficiency and diagnostic accuracy by Pang Hai, Zhang Bin, Liu Kesheng, Li Cong, Xu Fei

“…In the first stage, the YOLOv8 algorithm precisely localizes 13 key epiphyses in hand radiographs, achieving a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 99.5% at Intersection over Union (IoU) = 0.5 and 94.0% within IoU 0.5–0.95, demonstrating robust detection performance. The second stage employs a modified EfficientNetB3 architecture for fine-grained epiphyseal grade classification, enhanced by the Rectified Adam (RAdam) optimizer and a composite loss function combining center loss and weighted cross-entropy to mitigate class imbalance. …”

Ensemble machine learning-based pre-trained annotation approach for scRNA-seq data using gradient boosting with genetic optimizer by Osama Elnahas, Waleed M. Ead, Yushan Qiu, Jian Lu

“…The problem of single-cell RNA annotation involves assigning meaningful labels or annotations to each cell in the scRNA-seq dataset, indicating its corresponding cell type, state, or biological function. Current annotation methods are often challenged by limited source data quality, sensitivity to batch effects, and poor adaptability to uncharacterized cell types. …”
