In the realm of human-computer interaction (HCI), dialogue stands out as the most natural form of communication. The advent of speech language models (SLMs) has significantly enhanced speech-based conversational AI, yet these models remain constrained to turn-based interactions, limiting their applicability in real-time scenarios. This gap in real-time interaction presents a significant challenge, particularly in…
The Role of Explainable AI in In Vitro Diagnostics Under European Regulations: AI is increasingly critical in healthcare, especially in vitro diagnostics (IVD). The European IVDR recognizes software, including AI and ML algorithms, as part of IVDs. This regulatory framework presents significant challenges for AI-based IVDs, particularly those that utilize DL techniques. These AI systems…
