The development of TTS systems has been pivotal in converting written content into spoken language, enabling users to interact with text audibly. This technology is particularly beneficial for understanding documents containing complex information, such as scientific papers and technical manuals, which often present significant challenges for individuals relying solely on auditory comprehension. A persistent problem… →
Tokenization, the process of breaking text into smaller units, has long been a fundamental step in natural language processing (NLP). However, it presents several challenges. Tokenizer-based language models (LMs) often struggle with multilingual text, out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words, and inputs like typos, emojis, or mixed-code text. These issues can reduce model robustness and add complexity to… →
It can significantly enhance LLMs’ problem-solving capabilities by guiding them to think more deeply about complex problems and effectively utilize inference-time computation. Prior research has explored various strategies, including chain-of-thought reasoning, self-consistency, sequential revision with feedback, and search mechanisms guided by auxiliary verifiers or evaluators. Search-based methods, particularly when paired with solution evaluators, leverage additional… →
CONCLUSION: We concluded that utilizing the SOLIO Alfa Cure Plus device may dramatically reduce back pain and allow patients to experience an improvement in quality of life as a result. →
CONCLUSION: These findings strongly indicated that the tested formulations were bioequivalent to the reference formulation. The results also demonstrated that both formulations were well-tolerated, further establishing their safety profile in the context of metastatic breast cancer treatment. →
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to moderate neuromuscular blockade, deep neuromuscular blockade while performing RFCA under general anesthesia reduced 12-month AF recurrence rate. Deep neuromuscular blockade under general anesthesia is thought to increase the success rate by providing a stable surgical environment during the RFCA procedure. →
Purpose To evaluate the use of an automated hybrid multidimensional MRI (HM-MRI)-based tool to prospectively identify prostate cancer targets before MRI/US fusion biopsy in comparison with Prostate Imaging and Reporting Data System (PI-RADS)-based multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) evaluation by expert radiologists. Materials and Methods In this prospective clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no. NCT03585660), 91 male participants… →
CONCLUSION: Although expressive writing is a pragmatic and accessible intervention, our findings suggested that it was of benefit only to people with low dispositional disgust. Further work is required to establish an effective psychological tool for this under-researched population. →
CONCLUSION: Randomisation of people with MCI to a personalised hearing intervention versus control is feasible. These findings support proceeding to a fully-powered multicentre RCT. →
If you’re a computer vision engineer, you’ve likely noticed how quickly the field is evolving. From autonomous vehicles to healthcare imaging, computer vision isn’t just a tech buzzword—it’s solving real-world problems at an incredible pace. Staying relevant in this fast-changing space can feel overwhelming, but setting clear and focused goals can make you stand out… →
