Graph neural network driven traffic prediction technology:review and challenge by Yi ZHOU, Shuting HU, Wei LI, Nan CHENG, Ning LU, Xuemin(Sherman) SHEN

“…With the rapid development of Internet of things and artificial intelligence technology, accurate analysis and prediction of traffic data have become the primary target of intelligent transportations.In recent years, the method of traffic forecasting has gradually changed from the classical model-driven type to the data-driven type.However, how to effectively analyze the spatial-temporal characteristics of road networks through big data is one of the key issues in the traffic prediction process.Spatiotemporal big data analysis is a powerful tool for the traffic prediction.The traffic network can be modeled as a graph network, while the deep learning method can be extended on the graph network.Utilizing graph neural networks, we can build the spatiotemporal prediction model, and obtain the spatial-temporal correlation between the sensor nodes in road networks effectively by using graph convolution, which can significantly improve the accuracy of traffic prediction models.The traffic forecasting technology driven by graph neural networks was explored, and two kinds of traffic prediction models based on the analysis of deep spatial-temporal characteristics were extracted.The actual cases were analyzed and evaluated to discuss the technical advantages and key challenges of graph neural networks in the traffic prediction.The potential issues of graph neural network driven prediction mechanisms were also excavated.…”

Early Functional Treatment and Modern Cast Making for Indications in Hand Surgery by S. Bohr, N. Pallua

“…However, with the duration of immobilization intervals, the benefits of cast treatment, especially in hand surgery, are at risk of being outweighed by undesired drawbacks such as joint stiffening and contracture formation. In order to minimize potential complications commonly associated with cast treatment, efforts to further improve cast making must attempt to reconcile two conflicting objectives: (1) to achieve stability and rigidity at the site of injury (e.g., fracture retention) and (2) to allow free range of joint movement as early as possible. …”
