description: The HED Language library schema (HED LANG Schema) contains vocabulary for annotating language experiments in cognitive science. The schema allows for detailed annotation of neuroimaging experiments that involve language events. It is suitable for experiments using carefully controlled experiment stimuli to address specific questions in the domain of language processing, and for experiments using complex naturalistic paradigms involving written or spoken language.

HED LANG allows for annotation of language stimuli on different levels through the orthogonal definition of Language-items and Language-item-properties. Full sentences can be annotated with sentence-level characteristics, and individual words can be associated with word-level characteristics. Annotation possibilities are extensive and cover characteristics found across languages to allow for comparisons between languages.

The current release of the schema is primarily centered around written language, and morphosyntactic word properties. The schema is open to extension. HED LANG 1.0.0 is partnered with version 8.3.0 of the standard schema. As a result, annotators may use tags from both schemas without extra prefixing.

Example annotations

You can find several example annotations of recent work in psycholinguistics in our preprint.

Additionally, we have added annotations to several datasets which are publicly available on OpenNeuro. Their annotated versions (and links to the original) can be found here:

Would you consider using online virtual worlds for meetings?
Creators: name: Salomon, Mandy
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Technology analysts Gartner have made a number of noted observations about the move of 3D virtual environments into mainstream online use. Two years ago they predicted that 'by 2011, 80 percent of active Internet users would have a 'second life' but not necessarily in Second Life' (Gartner 2007). Knowing the focus of Gartner on business, this is a very strong statement about future corporate use of the virtual world. However, more recently they plotted the path of virtual worlds in the hype cycle, and determined that it was sitting at the bottom of the 'disillusionment trough'. (Virtual Worlds News 2009) The good news is that in Gartner's world, hyped expectation gives way to real benefit. Out of the nadir comes what Gartner calls the 'slope of enlightenment', indicating that mainstream adoption is less than five years away. It asserts that virtual worlds, in the company of Web 2.0 and cloud computing, are firmly set on this path. For the moment however, many potential users consider virtual worlds are 'not there yet'. And whilst the education and training sector is marching in with more than mere curiosity, the true believers are asking why take-up in the enterprise sector is lagging behind. So would you consider meeting your customers and colleagues in a virtual world? This paper looks at why you might consider it seriously.

description: Two strong concepts like “geometry” and “architecture” can be enhanced if they are correlated to each other, especially if the link between them is the word “construction”. From the abstract form of the first concept to the tangible physicality of the second one, the distance seems really short.The assume is confirmed both for the traditional representation and the digitally expressions: it constitute the foundament of the architectural formation and production. This is valid for the architectural dimension but also for the urban one. In this context the treatises can be considered as a source not inedit but still with great disciplinary and interdisciplinary implications: a distillate of knoledge coming from multiple cultural matrices. The paper wants to demonstrate that the territory can be read and confirmed in the fortified city, which for centuries has been considered the prevailing urban model.
description: Due concetti forti come “geometria” e “architettura” possono risultare vieppiù rafforzati se insieme correlati, specie se il legame è costituito da un terzo termine: “costruire”.  Dalla costruzione  della forma astratta del primo concetto alla fisicità tangibile del secondo, il passo può risultare davvero breve. Che si parli della geometria nella rappresentazione tradizionale, o nella più attuale espressione digitale, questa è sempre il fondamento della formazione e della produzione dell’architettura (e non solo). In tal senso la trattatistica costituisce una chiave di lettura  sicuramente non inedita, ma ancora densa di implicazioni disciplinari e interdisciplinari: un distillato di saperi di varie matrici culturali, fino alle teorie della composizione: il valore della costruzione geometrica del territorio si legge e si conferma con grande evidenza nella città fortificata.

title: Blue Lives Matter: Identity and the Internet
Creators: name: Stevens, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Social movements scholars have long studied the role of identity, both individual and collective, in regard to social movement formation, mobilization, and persistence (Snow et al. 1986, Kellner 1995, Darnovsly, Epstein, and Flacks 1995, Jasper 1997, Cerulo 1997, Bernstein 1997; 2002, and Futrell, Simi, and Gottschalk 2006). Advances in technology have made the Internet, and particularly social media, a powerful piece in the activist’s toolkit. While scholars have researched what the Internet means for different social movement organizations, there are many questions to address. I examine the social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram) of the pro-policing social movement organization Blue Lives Matter to better understand how self-identified supporters use these platforms to develop collective identity, achieve movement goals, and how they experience their participation on the platforms (individual identity). I also contribute to social movement scholarship by analyzing a case that has escaped most researchers’ attention—Blue Lives Matter pro-policing activism to counter Black Lives Matter mobilization. Specifically, I use qualitative content analysis to examine two of the official Blue Lives Matter social media platforms on Facebook and Instagram. I also draw from 21 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with self-identified Blue Lives Matter supporters, and one organizational leader. I describe how Blue Lives Matter and their supporters use their social media in a variety of meaningful ways including as a platform to vent their frustrations about what they perceive as a war on police. On Blue Lives Matter social media spaces supporters create a pro-policing community to share their ideologies, grieve fallen officers, and bond over their distain for those perceived to be anti-police. I also find that while on these platforms, both Blue Lives Matter and their supporters use “identity deployment” (Bernstein 1997; 2002; 2005; 2009) to convey their messages that police officers are superheroes in our society, and at the same time, they are quite human(e). I conclude by discussing the implications of my research and provide suggestions for future studies in the related area of social movements, identity, and the Internet and social media).

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: The feasibility of producing recombinant (rt) and biologically active granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the seeds of transgenic tobacco plants was investigated. The rice seed-specific glutelin promoter (Gt1) was used to direct the expression of the human (h) GM-CSF coding sequence in tobacco seeds. Transgenic tobacco plants producing rthGM-CSF were compared in biological assays with tobacco plants expressing a glutelin/rthGM-CSF fusion protein, driven by the Gt3 promoter. The T7 Sequencing kit from Pharmacia was used to sequence and confirm the authenticity of the Gt1 expression construct. The glutelin-1 signal sequence was fused in the correct orientation to the hGM-CSF cDNA. The rthGM-CSF expression cassette (2.5 kb) was subcloned in a plant binary vector pRD400, which contained a kanamycin resistance gene. The pRD400 vector containing the 2.5 kb construct was used to transform Agrobacterium tumefaciens cells. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) leaf sections were transformed by A. tumefaciens carrying the complete 2.5 kb construct. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Statement of problem. This thesis applied established criteria for evaluation of a screening program to assess the population health impacts of extending population-based breast cancer screening to Canadian women aged 70 to 79. Methods. Experimental evidence was systematically reviewed, complemented by analyses of Canadian data for incidence, mortality, screening participation and treatment patterns for women aged 70 to 79. The MISCAN micro-simulation model was adapted to the Canadian population to assess benefits and harms. Results. Compared to stopping at age 69 and depending upon the level of screening participation and sojourn time, continuing to screen women aged 70 to 79 resulted in an estimated 530 to 547 false positive mammograms per 10,000 screens, 20 to 40 additional biopsies, 10 to 25 "extra" cancers, and 12.2 to 13.7 prevented cancer deaths, while 30 fewer women will be diagnosed with stage T2+ cancer. About 110 life-years will be gained per 10,000 screens, with 210 to 440 life-years lived in lead-time. Quality adjustment of life-years gained reduced the benefit by up to 31% to 48% with a 5% discount factor for shorter vs longer sojoum times respectively. Between 733 and 821 screens will be needed to avert one breast cancer death, with an overall gain in life expectancy of about 4 days per screen. Overall, an estimated 459 breast cancer deaths can be prevented per year in Canada if the national target level of 70% screening participation is reached. Conclusion. Overall, results indicate favourable population health impacts of extending breast cancer screening to screen women aged 70 to 79. More work is needed to discern the sojourn time and the costs associated with the benefits.

description: The dome of the Sanctuary of Vicoforte, the largest oval masonry dome in the world, is an exceptional expression of building technique for its shape and dimension. This study wants to add information about the geometrical conception of the dome using the modern modeling possibilities based on recent laser scanner survey. In particular it integrates the analysis of the archival drawings and the 3D survey of the dome in order to investigate the geometrical shape of the temporary centrings used in the dome construction. Improving the knowledge about the tridimensional shape and the construction techniques of such dome is of crucial importance at the moment, because the Sanctuary is the subject of a structural monitoring and research campaign due to the important settlements and cracking fenomena that affect the building.
description: La cupola del Santuario di Vicoforte in Piemonte costituisce un’opera di particolare complessità costruttiva sia per le sue dimensioni sia per la sua forma: è infatti la più grande cupola ovata in muratura nel mondo. Questo studio riguarda la genesi geometrica della costruzione delle cupola, ed evidenzia che la cupola costruita è, da un punto di vista dei parametri geometrici, alquanto diversa da quella disegnata nei progetti. La ricerca è focalizzata sull’analisi geometrica delle sezioni verticali della cupola, al fine indagare il profilo delle centine usate nella costruzione. I risultati possono consentire una più attillata definizione dei modelli di simulazione del comportamento strutturale e sismico che sono necessari per la conservazione dell’integrità del manufatto.

description: Metallic bonds remain one of the most important and least understood of the chemical bonds. In this study, we generated Re2 molecules in which the Re–Re core is unsupported by ligands. Real-time imaging of the atomic-scale dynamics of Re2 adsorbed on a graphitic lattice allows direct measurement of Re–Re bond lengths for individual molecules that changes in discrete steps correlating with bond order from one to four. Direct imaging of the Re–Re bond breaking process reveals a new bonding state with the bond order less than one and a high-amplitude vibrational stretch, preceding the bond dissociation. The methodology, based on aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy imaging, is shown to be a powerful analytical tool for the investigation of dynamics of metallic bonding at the atomic level.
Attitudes to abortion: Australia and Queensland in the 21st century
Creators: name: Betts, Katharine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A young couple in Queensland face charges of procuring the woman's abortion with the drugs RU486 and Misoprostol. The case provoked widespread doubts about the legality of abortion in Queensland, especially medical abortion. State politicians, even those claiming to be pro-choice, are reluctant to decriminalise abortion saying that such a move would cost votes or might lead to an even more restrictive position than that which now prevails. In fact more than half the electorate in Australia and in Queensland support freedom of choice, and a further third support the availability of abortion in special circumstances. Candidates for election to the federal parliament are even more liberal. Such opposition as there is is concentrated among a few religious groups and among people aged 75 and over. As far as attitudes are concerned, Queensland is no different from the rest of Australia. A May 2009 Auspoll found that 79 per cent of Queenslanders supported decriminalisation.

description: This study argues that the sensory order employed during everyday activities deepens our understanding of local people’s relations with the environment. This study was conducted in Larabanga, Ghana, employing anthropology of the senses and phenomenology. The study reveals that people acquire ways of doing things and organizing their lives through their sensory engagement with their environment. Their engagement is further highlighted by the way they make themselves a home in their environment which informs about these sensory orders.

description: Several wild-type poxviruses have emerged as potential oncolytic viruses (OVs), including orf virus (OrfV), and vaccinia virus (VV). Oncolytic VVs have been modified to include attenuating mutations that enhance their tumour selective nature, but these mutations also reduce overall viral fitness in cancer cells. Previous studies have shown that a VV (Western Reserve) with its E3L gene replaced with the E3L homologue from, OrfV (designated VV-E3LOrfV), maintained its ability to infect cells in vitro, but was attenuated compared to its parental VV in vivo. Our goal was to determine the safety and oncolytic potential VV-E3LOrfV, compared to wild type VV and other attenuated recombinants. VV-E3LOrfV, was unable to replicate to the same titers and was sensitive to IFN compared to its parental virus and other attenuated VVs in normal human fibroblast cells. The virus was also less pathogenic when administered in vivo. Viral replication, spread and cell killing, as measures of oncolytic potential in vitro, along with in vivo efficacy, were also observed.. The Parapoxvirus, OrfV has been shown to have a unique immune-stimulation profile, inducing a number of pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as potently recruiting and activating a number of immune cells. Despite this unique profile, OrfV is limited in its ability to replicate and spread in human cancer cells. Various strategies were employed to enhance the oncolytic efficacy of wild-type OrfV. A transient transfection/infection screen was created to determine if any of the VV host-range genes (C7L, K1L, E3L or K3L) would augment OrfV oncolysis. Combination therapy, including the use of microtubule targeting agents, Viral Sensitizer (VSe) compounds and the addition of soluble VV B18R gene product were employed to see if they also enhance OrfV efficacy. Unfortunately, none of the strategies mentioned were able to enhance OrfV.

description: We report here on two years of timing of 168 pulsars using the Parkes radio telescope. The vast majority of these pulsars have spin-down luminosities in excess of 10(34) erg s(-1) and are prime target candidates to be detected in gamma-rays by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. We provide the ephemerides for the ten pulsars being timed at Parkes which have been detected by Fermi in its first year of operation. These ephemerides, in conjunction with the publicly available photon list, can be used to generate gamma-ray profiles from the Fermi archive. We will make the ephemerides of any pulsars of interest available to the community upon request. In addition to the timing ephemerides, we present the parameters for 14 glitches which have occurred in 13 pulsars, seven of which have no previously known glitch history. The Parkes timing programme, in conjunction with Fermi observations, is expected to continue for at least the next four years.

description: This study investigated international medical graduates (IMGs), registered between January 1, 2007 and April 14, 2011, at the Access Centre for Internationally Educated Health Professionals in Ontario. By way of logistic regression in a cross-sectional design, it was found that permanent residents who were recent immigrants had lesser chances of being employed full-time at registration (baseline). By way of survival analysis in a cohort design, it was found that younger IMGs who have been in Canada less than 5 years and who have taken the Medical Council of Canada Evaluating Exam (MCCEE) have the greatest chances of securing residency positions in Canada or the US, whereas IMGs from Eastern Europe, South Asia and Africa have lesser chances. It was revealed that registered IMGs are a vulnerable population, and certain groups may be disadvantaged due to underlying characteristics. These groups can be targeted for specific interventions.

description: Dissipative spots are found in physical experiments of many branches of natural science. In this thesis we use three-component reaction-diffusion systems on two-dimensional domains in order to generate these patterns. Using a dynamical system approach we proceed with a Fourier analysis on a linearized reaction-diffusion system in order to provide the bifurcation conditions for a given homogeneous state. We validate our results and establish it's limitations through numerical experiments. We report very interesting behavior during these simulations, notably hysteresis and multi-stability. We will then turn our attention to the relatively unexplored phenomenon of rotating spots. Based on previous work done for spiral waves, we investigate the effect of translational symmetry-breaking on a rotating spot mainly through careful numerical analysis.

Giacomo Andrea da Ferrara; Leonardo da Vinci; Uomo Vitruviano; Vitruvio Ferrarese; Uomo ideale nel Rinascimento

description: After the discovery and the research developed in the last twenty years, it has been possible to announce, in 2010, a convincing attribution for the manuscript brought to the attention of the public as Vitruvio Ferrarese. The author is Giacomo Andrea da  Ferrara. Luca Pacioli defined him a great expert on Vitruvius and a very close friend of Leonardo da Vinci (“suo quanto fratello”). The discovery of the author was possible just because of the profound relationships between the drawings of Giacomo Andrea and Leonardo in the creation of the famous Vitruvian Man. The reconstructed phases of the drawing process show that the beginning of the formation of the images took place on the folios of the manuscript by Giacomo Andrea with an intense collaboration with Leonardo. Notwithstanding the creative team work, taking place between the two artists in Milan at the end of XV century, Giacomo and Leonardo ended up representing rather different ideal men. The tragic death of Giacomo Andrea in 1500 has obscured his role in the culture of the Renaissance.

L’autore è Giacomo Andrea da Ferrara. Luca Pacioli lo definisce un grande esperto di Vitruvio  e un amico fraterno di Leonardo da Vinci (“suo quanto fratello”). La scoperta dell’autore è stata possibile grazie alle sorprendenti similarità che esistono tra i disegni di Giacomo Andrea e Leonardo nella creazione del famoso Uomo Vitruviano. La ricostruzione delle fasi del processo di disegno mostra che l’inizio della formazione delle immagini ebbe luogo sui fogli del manoscritto di Giacomo Andrea attraverso una intensa collaborazione con Leonardo. Nonostante il creativo lavoro di gruppo tra i due che si trovavano a Milano alla fine del XV secolo, Giacomo e Leonardo giunsero a rappresentare due uomini ideali decisamente diversi. La tragica fine di Giacomo Andrea nel 1500 ha oscurato il suo ruolo nella cultura del rinascimento.

Fentanyl assisted treatment: a possible role in the opioid overdose epidemic?
Creators: name: Bardwell, Geoff
name: Wood, Evan
name: Brar, Rupinder
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2019

description: Background: The current opioid overdose epidemic affecting communities across North America is increasingly driven by illicitly manufactured fentanyl and its related analogues. A variety of public health interventions have been implemented and scaled up, including opioid agonist treatments (OAT). While these treatments are successful for many individuals, they have a variety of limitations. It is critical to trial alternative treatments if conventional opioid agonist treatment options are not successful for a proportion of patients who use illicit fentanyl. Main body: Prescription fentanyl has been widely used for pain management. The use of transdermal fentanyl, specifically, which provides long acting and stable drug levels post-titration over several days, should be explored as an opioid agonist treatment option. The use of transdermal fentanyl for patients who use illicit fentanyl is currently being piloted in Vancouver, Canada. To address potential diversion, the patch is signed, dated, and a film dressing is applied to mitigate tampering. Evaluation outcomes are still pending, but there have been no adverse outcomes thus far and clinical improvements have been noted for many patients. This exploratory therapeutic approach should be considered across multiple settings and rigorously evaluated. Conclusions: There are known limitations to existing OAT options and there is a need to urgently evaluate alternative strategies for patients who are using illicit fentanyl not successfully treated with conventional OAT. Many patients may be attracted to, and retained in, fentanyl assisted treatment. This may be another strategy for certain patients to prevent harms caused by illicit fentanyl use, including overdose and death.

description: Plantery's vaults, by the name of the architect working in Turin since first years of '700, are composed by a main vault intersected by some axial and angular secondary vaults. Plantery's vaults allow to roof over unitary spaces obtaining effects of lightness also by small rises. Their diffusion, up to the '80s of the century, in boardrooms as palaces halls, and the richness of variations on the theme, justifies a research, that makes use of survey and digital modeling. This research is focused on the relationships between geometric models and built architecture, connected by use of materials, construction techniques and decorative styles.
description: Le volte planteriane, dal nome dall'architetto Plantery attivo a Torino dai primi del '700, sono composte da una volta principale in cui si innestano voltine secondarie, assiali e angolari rispetto alla pianta, che consentono di coprire ambienti unitari ottenendo effetti di leggerezza e ariosità anche con frecce ridotte. La loro diffusione, fino agli anni '80 del secolo, in spazi di rappresentanza come gli atri dei palazzi, e la ricchezza delle variazioni sul tema legittimano una ricerca, che si avvale del rilevamento e della modellazione digitale, sulle relazioni fra i modelli geometrici e l'architettura realizzata, mediate dall'uso dei materiali, dalle tecniche costruttive e dagli stilemi decorativi.

fortified architecture; geometric configurative
architettura fortificata; configurazione geometrica

description: This article presents an application of geometry in architecture. It aims to investigate the geometric pattern underlying the conceptual design of the model of Renaissance fortification proposed by Galasso Alghisi in the treatise Delle Fortificationi (Venice 1570). The study focuses on the geometrical analysis of the generative dynamic of the tested form which is illustrated here by means of detailed engravings. More specifically, the following aspects will be examined: the method of the geometric-configurative of the fortification type proposed by Alghisi, together with the identification of the related formal matrices; the functioning of the Istromento (instrument) described by Alghisi and advised in order to proportion the sites to be built upon and transform the drawings of the fortresses into structures following the proportions.
description: Questo articolo presenta un’applicazione della geometria in architettura. Esso mira a indagare la ragione geometrica sottostante la configurazione progettuale del modello di fortificazione rinascimentale proposto da Galasso Alghisi nel trattato Delle Fortificationi (Venezia, 1570). Lo studio si concentra sull’analisi geometrica della dinamica generativa della forma, qui illustrata attraverso dettagliate incisioni. In particolare, verranno esaminati i seguenti aspetti: il metodo di configurazione geometrica del tipo di fortificazione proposto da Alghisi, insieme con l’identificazione delle connesse matrici formali; il funzionamento dell’Istromento descritto da Alghisi e consigliato al fine di proporzione i siti per la costruzione e trasformare i disegni delle fortezze in strutture seguendo le proporzioni.

description: Lithium metal is a promising anode material for next-generation high-energy-density batteries but suffers from low stripping/plating Coulombic efficiency and dendritic growth particularly at sub-zero temperatures. Herein, a poorly-flammable, locally concentrated ionic liquid electrolyte with a wide liquidus range extending well below 0 °C is proposed for low-temperature lithium metal batteries. Its all-anion Li+ solvation and phase-nano-segregation solution structure are sustained at low temperatures, which, together with a solid electrolyte interphase rich in inorganic compounds, enable dendrite-free operation of lithium metal anodes at −20 °C and 0.5 mA cm−2, with a Coulombic efficiency of 98.9 %. As a result, lithium metal batteries coupling thin lithium metal anodes (4 mAh cm−2) and high-loading LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2 cathodes (10 mg cm−2) retain 70 % of the initial capacity after 100 cycles at −20 °C. These results, as a proof of concept, demonstrate the applicability of locally concentrated ionic liquid electrolytes for low-temperature lithium metal batteries.

description: This essay, meaning construction in the sense of geometrical process and constructed object,  refers to the preparation of an atlas documenting the architecture of  the twentieth century in large territories. The purpose is to  demonstrate how descriptive geometry becomes an instrument of  morphological analysis of the architecture of the city (as a network of  spatial end genealogical relationships), trying to describe the  architectural form (and its values) in the dynamic processes of  territorial settlement. It is therefore proposed an operational notion  of form that is articulated on multiple immanent levels, from the most abstract and profound to the most superficial and iconic.
description: Intendendo il termine costruzione in senso oggettuale e processuale, il saggio si riferisce alla realizzazione di un atlante destinato a descrivere (per scopi documentali) il patrimonio di architetture novecentesche in vasti territori. L'obiettivo è chiarire in che termini la geometria descrittiva divenga uno strumento per costruire una morfologia dell'architettura della città novecentesca (come una rete di relazioni spaziali e genealogiche) che tenga conto dei tratti più essenziali e persistenti nella dinamica dei fenomeni insediativi urbani. Si propone allo scopo una nozione operativa di forma che risulta articolata su più livelli immanenti, dai più astratti e profondi ai più superficiali e iconici.

description: This thesis examines domestic service practises among some members of the Yorkshire gentry during the nineteenth century. Historians usually consider the gentry to have shared the same social outlooks and practises as other members of the upper class in spite of significant differences in income and political power. However, as they were less well-to-do, they could not afford to maintain the variety of servants a wealthy aristocrat could. Three main families were selected to reflect the range of incomes and possession or lack thereof of a hereditary title: the Listers of Shibden Hall, the Sykes of Sledmere House and the Pennymans of Ormesby Hall. The Yorkshire gentry organised country houses servants along the same hierarchical lines as prescriptive authors suggested because this gave servants clear paths for promotion which reduced the frequency of staff turnover; furthermore the architecture of their country houses promoted such organization. Secondly, this architecture reinforced the domestic social positions of every rung of the domestic hierarchy. As part of a unique subgroup of the upper class, gentry ladies were less likely to experience class conflict with servants clearly placed within the domestic service hierarchy. The conclusion is that through selective recruitment processes, the distinctive work environment and a particular labour pool, this group created a unique labour market tailored to their social and economic standing.

description: Objectives To systematically review, assess the reporting quality of, and discuss improvement opportunities for studies describing machine learning (ML) models for glioma grade prediction. Methods This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses of Diagnostic Test Accuracy (PRISMA-DTA) statement. A systematic search was performed in September 2020, and repeated in January 2021, on four databases: Embase, Medline, CENTRAL, and Web of Science Core Collection. Publications were screened in Covidence, and reporting quality was measured against the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) Statement. Descriptive statistics were calculated using GraphPad Prism 9. Results The search identified 11,727 candidate articles with 1,135 articles undergoing full text review and 85 included in analysis. 67 (79%) articles were published between 2018-2021. The mean prediction accuracy of the best performing model in each study was 0.89 ± 0.09. The most common algorithm for conventional machine learning studies was Support Vector Machine (mean accuracy: 0.90 ± 0.07) and for deep learning studies was Convolutional Neural Network (mean accuracy: 0.91 ± 0.10). Only one study used both a large training dataset (n>200) and external validation (accuracy: 0.72) for their model. The mean adherence rate to TRIPOD was 44.5% ± 11.1%, with poor reporting adherence for model performance (0%), abstracts (0%), and titles (0%). Conclusions The application of ML to glioma grade prediction has grown substantially, with ML model studies reporting high predictive accuracies but lacking essential metrics and characteristics for assessing model performance. Several domains, including generalizability and reproducibility, warrant further attention to enable translation into clinical practice.
