This paper introduces an advanced and efficient method for distributed drone-based fruit recognition and localization, tailored to satisfy the precision and security requirements of autonomous agricultural operations. Our method incorporates depth information to ensure precise localization and utilizes a streamlined detection network centered on the RepVGG module. This module replaces the traditional C2f module, enhancing detection performance while maintaining speed. To bolster the detection of small, distant fruits in complex settings, we integrate selective Kernel Attention (sKAttention) and a specialized small-target detection layer. This adaptation allows the system to manage difficult conditions, such as variable lighting and obstructive foliage. To reinforce security, the tasks of recognition and localization are distributed among multiple drones, enhancing resilience against tampering and data manipulation. This distribution also optimizes resource allocation through collaborative processing. The model remains lightweight and is optimized for rapid and accurate detection, which is essential for real-time applications. Our proposed system, validated with a D435 depth camera, achieves a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.943 and a frame rate of 169 FPs, which represents a significant improvement over the baseline by 0.039 percentage points and 25 FPs, respectively. Additionally, the average localization error is reduced to 0.82 cm, highlighting the model’s high precision. These enhancements render our system highly effective for secure, autonomous fruit-picking operations, effectively addressing significant performance and cybersecurity challenges in agriculture. This approach establishes a foundation for reliable, efficient, and secure distributed fruit-picking applications, facilitating the advancement of autonomoussystems in contemporary agricultural practices.

Although Alzheimer's disease (AD) cannot be reversed or cured, timely diagnosis can significantly reduce the burden of treatment and care. Current research on AD diagnosis models usually regards the diagnosis task as a typical classification task with two primary assumptions: (1) All target categories are known a priori;(2) The diagnostic strategy for each patient is consistent, that is, the number and type of model input data for each patient are the same. However, real-world clinical settings are open, with complexity and uncertainty in terms of both subjects and the resources of the medical institutions. This means that diagnostic models may encounter unseen disease categories and need to dynamically develop diagnostic strategiesbased on the subject'sspecific circumstances and available medical resources. Thus, the AD diagnosis task is tangled and coupled with the diagnosisstrategy formulation. To promote the application of diagnostic systems in real- world clinical settings, we propose OpenClinicalAI for direct AD diagnosis in complex and uncertain clinical settings. This is the first end-to-end model to dynamically formulate diagnostic strategies and provide diagnostic resultsbased on the subject's conditions and available medical resources. OpenClinicalAI combines reciprocally coupled deep multi-action reinforcement learning (DMARL) for diagnostic strategy formulation and multicenter meta-learning (MCML) for open-set recognition. The experimental resultsshow that OpenClinicalAI achieves better performance and fewer clinical examinations than the state-of-the-art model. Our method provides an opportunity to embed the AD diagnostic system into the current healthcare system to cooperate with clinicians to improve current healthcare.

Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings are valuable for capturing neuro-physiological states, with brain age prediction providing key insights into brain health. To scale this diagnostic technique, we propose a computer-aided system using self-supervised learning (ssL) and Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for EEG analysis. ssL reduces the need for fully labeled data by pre-training models on large unlabeled EEG datasets. We tackle temporal-spectral feature learning challenges with GNNs, employing graph-based representations of EEG data to depict the brain's interconnectedness and extract meaningful features. Furthermore, we enhance the explainability of brain age predictions by visualizing channel-wise maps, highlighting critical EEG channels influencing the model's decisions.
