Voice based self help System: User Experience Vs Accuracy

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In general, self help systems are being increasingly deployed by service based industries because they are capable of delivering better customer service and increasingly the switch is to voice based self help systems because they provide a natural interface for a human to interact with a machine. A speech based self help system ideally needs a speech recognition engine to convert spoken speech to text and in addition a language processing engine to take care of any misrecognitions by the speech recognition engine. Any off-the-shelf speech recognition engine is generally a combination of acoustic processing and speech grammar. While this is the norm, we believe that ideally a speech recognition application should have in addition to a speech recognition engine a separate language processing engine to give the system better performance. In this paper, we discuss ways in which the speech recognition engine and the language processing engine can be combined to give a better user experience.

description: H3K27me3 is a transcriptional repressive epigenetic mark that plays vital roles in many biological processes in Arabidopsis thaliana. A number of biochemical and functional characterizations of PKL, an ATP-dependent CHD chromatin remodeler, suggest that PKL contributes to maintain the homeostasis of H3K27me3. To identify other factors that act with PKL together to contribute to the homeostasis of H3K27me3, we undertook an EMS-mutagenesis screen for pkl-associated phenotypes. This genetic screen suggests that PKL may contribute to maintaining the homeostasis of H3K27me3 in an H2A.Z associated or a Mediator associated pathway.Here, we took advantage of a combined genetic and bioinformatic method to characterize the contribution of PKL in these two pathways as described above. Our analysis revealed a robust genetic interaction between HTA9, HTA11, and PKL in maintaining proper H2A.Z distribution and enrichment of H3K27me3. In addition, the characterization also sheds light on unexpected roles of PKL in promoting the homeostasis of H3K4me3 and acting with histone demethylases to promote removal of H3K27me3 in an H2A.Z dependent manner. Furthermore, our result also raised the possibility that the tail module of the Mediator complex also plays a critical role in the homeostasis of H3K27me3. While we were examining PKL-dependent chromatin features, we largely optimized the protocol for preparation ChIP-seq samples and libraries and implemented a gene-centric ChIP-seq bioinformatics pipeline for providing robust analysis.Ultimately, the work presented in this thesis highlights several divergent pathways that PKL contributes to maintain chromatin homeostasis. By and large, the combined observation from this thesis advances our knowledge of how PKL interacts with other chromatin-associated machineries together to maintain proper epigenetic states and promote other more emergent DNA-templated processes, including replication and transcription.

description: Introduction On June 30th, 2022, a report for the evaluation of sexually transmitted infections was published by the Italian National Institute of Health (ISS the Italian acronym). This report highlights the increase of the incidence of sexually transmitted infections in the young people, being the ones between 15 and 24 years the most affected. Not much evidence on how nurses can improve the knowledge of these issues in the school community, specifically among adolescent people. These results gave rise to the idea of evaluating the degree of knowledge of young people towards sexually transmitted infections through the lens of nurse intervention/teaching Review Question For the research question we will use these parameters according to the PICO framework: P: School population in adolescence I: Adequate knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases C: Questionnaire for the evaluation of knowledge on the etiopathogenesis mechanisms of the disease O: Assessment of pre / post intervention knowledge Methodology The approach to the research question will occur by resorting to a scoping review in the light of the high hetereogeneity of the literature in the topic. Searches will be conducted on the PubMed database using the following search string: ("sex education"[Text Word] OR "sexualeducation"[Text Word]) AND ("adolescent*"[Text Word] OR "student*"[Text Word]) AND ("nurs*"[Text Word])NOT ("systematicreview"[Title/Abstract] OR "systematicreviews"[Title/Abstract] OR cochrane[Title/Abstract] OR meta-analysis[PublicationType] OR "meta analysis"[Title/Abstract] OR metanalysis[Title/Abstract]) NOT ("animals"[MeSHTerms] NOT "humans"[MeSHTerms]) NOT Case Reports[ptyp] The bibliographic research will go from 01/01/2003 to 14/08/2022. To gauge the risk of bias, critical appraisal tools from the Joanna Briggs Institute will be used Inclusion Criteria Type of study: observational studies, RT / RCT, sourvy. Sample number at least 10 Gender = both mele/female Sample age:> 14 years and <19 years ExclusionCriteria Reviews, case reports, case series, editorials, unpublished works in full, letter, systemic review Data extraction The following items of interest will be extracted from the studies: Author, Type of study, Publication year, Country Setting, Time Span, Population, Intervention, exposure, Verification method and Results Data synthesis A qualitative synthesis will be made on the basis of the data collected in the main table to describe the results of the different types of studies involving the nurses in the field of adolescent sexual education.

description: We report a high-resolution angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy study of the evolution of the electronic structure of FeSe1-xSx single crystals. Isovalent S substitution onto the Se site constitutes a chemical pressure which subtly modifies the electronic structure of FeSe at high temperatures and induces a suppression of the tetragonal-symmetry-breaking structural transition temperature from 87K to 58K for x=0.15. With increasing S substitution, we find smaller splitting between bands with dyz and dxz orbital character and weaker anisotropic distortions of the low temperature Fermi surfaces. These effects evolve systematically as a function of both S substitution and temperature, providing strong evidence that an orbital ordering is the underlying order parameter of the structural transition in FeSe1-xSx. Finally, we detect the small inner hole pocket for x=0.12, which is pushed below the Fermi level in the orbitally-ordered low temperature Fermi surface of FeSe.

description: Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are airborne particulates of less than 100 nm in aerodynamic diameter. Examples of UFPs are diesel exhaust particles, products of cooking, heating, and wood burning in indoor environments, and, more recently, products generated through the use of nanotechnology. Studies have shown that ambient UFPs have detrimental effects on both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, including a higher incidence of atherosclerosis and exacerbation rate of asthma. UFPs have been found to alter and responses of the immune system to allergens and can also play a role in allergen sensitization. The inflammatory properties of UFPs can be mediated by a number of different mechanisms, including the ability to produce reactive oxygen species, leading to the generation of proinflammatory cytokines and airway inflammation. In addition, because of their small size, UFPs also have unique distribution characteristics in the respiratory tree and circulation and might be able to alter cellular function in ways that circumvent normal signaling pathways. Additionally, UFPs can penetrate intracellularly and potentially cause DNA damage. The recent advances in nanotechnology, although opening up new opportunities for the advancement of technology and medicine, could also lead to unforeseen adverse health effects in exposed human subjects. Further research is needed to clarify the safety of nanoscale particles, as well as the elucidation of the possible beneficial use of these particulates to treat disease.

description: We propose a new way to improve the efficiency of the quality review process using the image-based learning approach. This is achievable because we have learned that there is a correlation between the sensor’s surface texture and its performance. Also, the fabrication parameters directly affect the thickness of the ion-selective membrane (ISM) of the nitrate sensors and therefore affect the texture on the sensor’s surface. Given that information, we can quickly predict the sensor performance and make rapid modifications to the fabrication parameters using our image-based prediction model.

description: The heavy fermion intermetallic compound URu2Si2 exhibits a "hidden-order" phase below the temperature of 17.5 K, which supports both anomalous metallic behavior and unconventional superconductivity. While these individual phenomena have been investigated in detail, it remains unclear how they are related to each other and to what extent uranium f-electron valence fluctuations influence each one. Here we use ligand site substituted URu2Si2-xPx to establish their evolution under electronic tuning. We find that while hidden order is monotonically suppressed and destroyed for x $\leq$ 0.035, the superconducting strength evolves through a dome that is centered near $x$ $\approx$ 0.01 and terminates near $x$ $\approx$ 0.028. This behavior reveals that hidden order depends strongly on tuning outside of the U f-electron shells. It also suggests that while hidden order provides an environment for superconductivity and anomalous metallic behavior, it's fluctuations are not solely responsible for their progression.

description: In this letter, we demonstrate amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a maximum transit frequency (fT) of 1.1 GHz and maximum oscillation frequency (fmax) of 3.1 GHz, which set a new record for metal-oxide TFTs based on scalable and cost-effective process techniques. A key for the outstanding high-frequency performance of our TFTs is an optimized two-step self-alignment concept, which allows the rigorous minimization of parasitic elements, that typically limit high-frequency operation. We expect that our results will inspire a wide range of high-frequency circuits based on metal-oxide electronics.

description: Traditionally, the concept of allergy implied an abnormal response to an otherwise benign agent (eg, pollen or food), with an easily identifiable relationship between exposure and disease. However, there are syndromes in which the relationship between exposure to the relevant allergen and the “allergic” disease is not clear. In these cases the presence of specific IgE antibodies can play an important role in identifying the relevant allergen and provide a guide to therapy. Good examples include chronic asthma and exposure to perennial indoor allergens and asthma related to fungal infection. Finally, we are increasingly aware of forms of food allergy in which the relationship between exposure and the disease is delayed by 3 to 6 hours or longer. Three forms of food allergy with distinct clinical features are now well recognized. These are (1) anaphylactic sensitivity to peanut, (2) eosinophilic esophagitis related to cow’s milk, and (3) delayed anaphylaxis to red meat. In these syndromes the immunology of the response is dramatically different. Peanut and galactose α-1,3-galactose (alpha-gal) are characterized by high- or very high-titer IgE antibodies for Ara h 2 and alpha-gal, respectively. By contrast, eosinophilic esophagitis is characterized by low levels of IgE specific for milk proteins with high- or very high-titer IgG4 to the same proteins. The recent finding is that patients with alpha-gal syndrome do not have detectable IgG4 to the oligosaccharide. Thus the serum results not only identify relevant antigens but also provide a guide to the nature of the immune response.

Abstract Pozelimab (pozelimab-bbfg; VEOPOZ™) is a fully human immunoglobulin (Ig) G4P (i.e. IgG4 with a proline substitution to promote stabilization of the disulfide bonds between the two heavy chains) monoclonal antibody developed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc., to block the activity of complement factor 5 (C5) and prevent diseases mediated by the complement pathway. In August 2023, pozelimab received its first approval for the treatment of adults, and paediatric patients aged ≥ 1 year with CD55-deficient protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), also known as CHAPLE disease, in the USA. It is the first US FDA-approved treatment for this disease. In the USA, pozelimab has been granted orphan drug designations for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) [both as a monotherapy and in combination with cemdisiran] and for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (in combination with cemdisiran). Pozelimab is also undergoing clinical development in several other countries worldwide for the treatment of CD55-deficient PLE, PNH and myasthenia gravis. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of pozelimab leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults, and paediatric patients aged ≥ 1 year with CD55-deficient PLE, also known as CHAPLE disease, in the USA. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023
Efficient Bayesian inference for exponential random graph models by correcting the pseudo-posterior distribution

description: Exponential random graph models are an important tool in the statistical analysis of data. However, Bayesian parameter estimation for these models is extremely challenging, since evaluation of the posterior distribution typically involves the calculation of an intractable normalizing constant. This barrier motivates the consideration of tractable approximations to the likelihood function, such as the pseudolikelihood function, which offers an approach to constructing such an approximation. Naive implementation of what we term a pseudo-posterior resulting from replacing the likelihood function in the posterior distribution by the pseudolikelihood is likely to give misleading inferences. We provide practical guidelines to correct a sample from such a pseudo-posterior distribution so that it is approximately distributed from the target posterior distribution and discuss the computational and statistical efficiency that result from this approach. We illustrate our methodology through the analysis of real-world graphs. Comparisons against the approximate exchange algorithm of Caimo and Friel (2011) are provided, followed by concluding remarks.

description: The COBRA demonstrator, a prototype for a large-scale experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta-decay, was built at the underground laboratory Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It consists of an array of 64 monolithic, calorimetric CdZnTe semiconductor detectors with a coplanar-grid design and a total mass of 380g. It is used to investigate the experimental challenges faced when operating CdZnTe detectors in low-background mode, to identify potential background sources and to show the long-term stability of the detectors. The first data-taking period started in 2011 with a subset of the detectors, while the demonstrator was completed in November 2013. To date, more than 250kg d of data have been collected. This paper describes technical details of the experimental setup and the hardware components.

description: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), a food antigen-mediated disease, is effectively treated with the dietary elimination of six foods commonly associated with food allergies (milk, wheat, egg, soy, tree nuts/peanuts and fish/shellfish). Because wheat shares homologous proteins (including gluten) with barley and rye and may also be processed with these grains, some clinicians have suggested barley and rye may also trigger EoE as a result of cross-reaction and/or cross-contamination with wheat. In this opinion paper, we discuss the theoretical risks of cross-reactivity and cross-contamination among wheat, barley, and rye proteins (including gluten), assess common practices at EoE treatment centers, and provide recommendations for dietary treatment and future studies of EoE.

description: When designing for citizens, municipalities often focus on the back end infrastructure of services while ignoring the user experience. This can lead to a lack of engagement by citizens and improperly used services. Contemporary issues facing cities today such as waste reduction, and other challenges associated with living in a dense urban core, reinforce the need for a drastic change in the way that people live, work and co-organize as supported by their local government. A two year design research partnership with a local governing body explored the role of participatory design in the creation of a service touch-point aimed at decreasing contamination in the streams of waste that are recycled in public city spaces. It considers how principles of behavior change can be utilized in this inquiry for designing services that are used by the general public in an urban context. During the course of the project, participatory methodologies are used to facilitate conversations between municipal waste coordinators and designers. Through user observations, ethnographic research, co-creation and user testing this thesis argues for the need for participatory design to create effective services for cities. Through explorations of form, iconography, and systems this inquiry has culminated in the design of a streetscape recycling station and a human centered framework for municipalities called ‘citizen centered services’.

description: Reciprocity is a universal principle that has a profound impact on many areas of physics. A fundamental phenomenon in condensed-matter physics, optical physics and acoustics, arising from reciprocity, is the constructive interference of quantum or classical waves which propagate along time-reversed paths in disordered media, leading to, for example, weak localization and metal-insulator transition. Previous studies have shown that such coherent effects are suppressed when reciprocity is broken. Here we show that by breaking reciprocity in a controlled manner, we can tune, rather than simply suppress, these phenomena. In particular, we manipulate coherent backscattering of light, also known as weak localization. By utilizing a non-reciprocal magneto-optical effect, we control the interference between time-reversed paths inside a multimode fiber with strong mode mixing, and realize a continuous transition from the well-known peak to a dip in the backscattered intensity. Our results may open new possibilities for coherent control of classical and quantum waves in complex systems

description: Background and objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of mortality. Early diagnosis of heart disease is crucial in preventing mortality. On the other hand, according to the World Health Organization, approximately 80% of deaths due to cardiovascular disease occur in low and middle-income countries. There is a lack of medical specialists in remote areas to diagnose these diseases. Artificial intelligence-based decision support systems and automated diagnostic tools can help with heart disease diagnosis.
 An automated classification method using LightGBM and deep learning is investigated in this study to classify four types of heart sounds including artifact, extra heart sound, murmur, and normal. The classification algorithm for this purpose is inherited from the previously used algorithm for the classification of LSST astronomical time series known as the PLAsTiCC dataset.
 Methods: The classification model is developed using a total of 542 PhonoCardioGram(PCG) samples collected by electronic stethoscopes or mobile devices. We use both deep and feature-based approaches for classification. After pre-processing and denoising of PCG signals, features have been extracted from the raw data. Extracted features fed to LightGBM. We also used a deep learning approach, feeding raw signals to a convolutional neural network (CNN).To improve accuracy in a noisy environment and robust model, the proposed method uses data augmentation techniques for training data sets.
 Results: The accuracy of the LGBM on the test set is 0.82 for the classification of heart sounds. It also had achieved good results in our previous review related to astronomical time series classification. Precision, recall, and F1 score of multi-class classification are 0.84, 0.84, and 0.82 respectively. If we consider all abnormal cases as a unique class and normal cases as another, LGBM shows 0.87 accuracies for binary classification of normal and abnormal classes. Using the CNN approach obtains 79% accuracy in PCG multi-class classification. Conclusions: Machine-learning techniques provide high precision results in cardiac diagnosis and screening. The proposed model can be transferred to any computing device. This non-invasive method is efficient and suitable for real-time applications and can provide a diagnostic tool in primary health care centers.
