Fine-grained point cloud classification based on hierarchical feature enhancement. Journal of Zhejiang University (Science Edition),2025,52(1):70⁃80(基于层次特征增强的细粒度点云分类)... by 白静(BAI Jing), 刘路(LIU Lu), 郑虎(ZHENG Hu), 蒋金哲(JIANG Jinzhe)

“…The Veronese mapping-based point feature enhancement module (V-PE) is used to enhance the point cloud data, so that the network learns higher-order information of the normal and the attitude; the multi-scale context-aware intra-cluster feature enhancement module (CA-IntraCE) utilizes different scales of K-nearest neighbor algorithms and cross-attention to achieve different scales of features and eliminate the loss of information caused by maximal pooling; the inter-cluster feature enhancement module (GSS-InterCE) based on grouped sparse sampling utilizes the furthest-point-sampling (FPS) algorithm to obtain sparse points and the cross-attention to achieve the enhancement of different clusters, so that the network has stronger fine-grained discriminative ability.In the experimental results on the three sub-datasets Airplane, Car, and Chair of FG3D, the overall accuracies of HFE-Net reach 97.40%, 80.53%, and 83.83%, respectively, which have ex-ceeded those of the existing SOTA methods, DC-Net and FGPNet, showcasing the superior classification performance of HFE-Net.…”

“…Despite anecdotal reports linking multiple drugs to PV, corroborating evidence from large datasets is missing.ObjectiveTo examine the extent to which previously reported associations between a comprehensive list of 36 drugs implicated in PV pathogenesis could be replicated using population-level pharmacovigilance data.DesignSeries of observational, retrospective, case-control, pharmacovigilance analyses (one analysis/drug, 36 total).SettingPopulation based.ParticipantsIndividuals who submitted a report of a drug-related adverse event to the FDA from Q4 of 2003 to Q2 of 2023.ExposureCases were identified by the presence of adverse events described by the MedDRA preferred term “pemphigus” (10034280) and then sorted based on exposure to each of the drugs of interest.Main outcomes and measuresReporting Odds Ratios (RORs) quantifying the association between a given drug exposure and reports of pemphigus adverse events.ResultsThe analyses revealed statistically significant associations between reports of pemphigus and exposure to 11/36 previously reported drugs, two of which had particularly high RORs (&gt;200) [gold sodium thiomalate (ROR, 266.0; 95% CI, 202.6-349.3) and hydroxychloroquine (ROR, 282.6; 95% CI, 261.0-306.1)], three had very strong RORs (14-45) [penicillamine (ROR, 30.5; 95% CI, 11.4-81.7), piroxicam (ROR, 14.8; 95% CI, 8.2-26.7), and imiquimod (ROR, 42.3; 95% CI, 26.2-68.3)], and six had modestly strong RORs (2-5) [rifampin (ROR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.4-5.6), hydrochlorothiazide (ROR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.1), irbesartan (ROR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.6-4.4), lisinopril (ROR, 5.3; 95% CI, 4.5-6.2), nivolumab (ROR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.8-4.1), and nifedipine (ROR, 3.0; 95% CI, 1.9-5.0)]. …”
