Drug-target interactions(DTIs) prediction plays an important role in the process of drug *** computational methods treat it as a binary prediction problem, determining whether there are connections between drugs and targets while ignoring relational types information. Considering the positive or negative effects of DTIs will facilitate the study on comprehensive mechanisms of multiple drugs on a common target, in this work, we model DTIs on signed heterogeneous networks, through categorizing interaction patterns of DTIs and additionally extracting interactions within drug pairs and target protein pairs. We propose signed heterogeneous graph neural networks(SHGNNs), further put forward an end-to-end framework for signed DTIs prediction, called SHGNN-DTI,which not only adapts to signed bipartite networks, but also could naturally incorporate auxiliary information from drug-drug interactions(DDIs) and protein-protein interactions(PPIs). For the framework, we solve the message passing and aggregation problem on signed DTI networks, and consider different training modes on the whole networks consisting of DTIs, DDIs and PPIs. Experiments are conducted on two datasets extracted from Drug Bank and related databases, under different settings of initial inputs, embedding dimensions and training modes. The prediction results show excellent performance in terms of metric indicators, and the feasibility is further verified by the case study with two drugs on breast cancer.

Evaluation system of small arms firing has an important effect in the context of military domain. A partially automated evaluation system has been conducted and performed at the ground level. Automation of such system with the inclusion of artificial intelligence is a much required process. This papers puts focus on designing and developing an AI-based small arms firing evaluation systems in the context of military environment. Initially image processing techniques are used to calculate the target firing score. Additionally, firing errors during the shooting have also been detected using a machine learning algorithm. However, consistency in firing requires an abundance of practice and updated analysis of the previous results. Accuracy and precision are the basic requirements of a good shooter. To test the shooting skill of combatants, firing practices are held by the military personnel at frequent intervals that include 'grouping' and 'shoot to hit' scores. Shortage of skilled personnel and lack of personal interest leads to an inefficient evaluation of the firing standard of a firer. This paper introduces a system that will automatically be able to fetch the target data and evaluate the standard based on the fuzzy *** it will be able to predict the shooter performance based on linear regression ***, it compares with recognized patterns to analyze the individual expertise and suggest improvements based on previous values. The paper is developed on a Small Arms Firing Skill Evaluation System, which makes the whole process of firing and target evaluation faster with better accuracy. The experiment has been conducted on real-time scenarios considering the military field and shows a promising result to evaluate the system automatically.

Purpose: The difficulty of diagnosing several lung disorders, including atelectasis, cardiomegaly, lung cancer, and COVID-19, is a challenging problem and needs to be addressed. These conditions exhibit some symptoms and demand advanced medical imaging process, thorough clinical assessments, and innovative procedures for accurate diagnosis. The shortage of qualified radiologists further makes the problem more complex to deal with. COVID-19 in particular has resulted in a remarkable number of fatalities around the world. Children below the age of 5 and individuals over 65 are more likely to be affected by lung disorders. It is very hard to diagnose and manage COVID-19 absolutely, but it can be identified earlier by employing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) technologies to make timely diagnosis. Currently, radiologists adopt technologies, which are driven by artificial intelligence. By using them, medical imaging data, such as chest X-rays and CT scans, can be investigated to identify patterns to diagnose the severity of the virus. This expedites the diagnostic process and enhances accuracy, facilitating more timely and precise medical interventions. The efficiency of artificial intelligence in processing large datasets can directly help healthcare professionals in making diagnosis quicker and more accurate. The objective of the work in this paper is to design and implement deep learning model classifiers, which will effectively categorize the patterns found in the X-rays and CT scans. Methods: Three techniques for categorization are exploited to propose an entirely new hybrid convolutional neural network (CNN) model in this context. MRI and CT image categorization in the first classification method employ Fully Connected (FC) layers. The weights are calculated and tuned for training the algorithm over multiple periods to deliver the maximum precision for classification. The most accurate MRI and CT image characteristics are studied, and deep learning model classifiers

Foundation models(FMs) [1] have revolutionized software development and become the core components of large software systems.
