Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that can be challenging to manage. To improve asthma management, we designed a personalized alarm system that utilizes lung function data to monitor and alert individuals to potentially harmful air quality. Our pilot observation included seven individuals who were exposed to two different air-quality environments, and we observed significant variations in their lung function responses. Based on these observations, we developed customized alarm systems for each participant that continuously monitored air quality and provided notifications when it reached levels that could potentially exacerbate their asthma symptoms. This personalized approach has the potential to enable individuals to proactively protect their respiratory health and avoid asthma attacks by taking timely and appropriate action based on their own specific needs.

Power demand forecasting plays a significant role in the operation of power plants and utility companies. For data privacy, federated learning (FL) is widely adopted to aggregate local models of utility companies to a global model with very few data leaks. However, defects such as malicious updates, poisoning attacks, and low-quality data, may exist in multiple FL processes. As the general resistance to various defects is not considered by most FL approaches, a design with strong generalization is strongly needed. In this paper, we adopt DEfect-AwaRe federated soft actor-critic (DearFSAC), which dynamically assigns weights to FL's local models according to their quality. For fast and stable convergence, a deep neural network based on auto-encoder is designed for model quality evaluation and dimension reduction. Then, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm soft actor-critic (SAC) is adopted to achieve the optimal weights assignment, considering SAC's near-optimum and sufficient exploration. We conduct simulations on power consumption data in real world. The results show that our approach performs well no matter if there exist defects or not.

Object detection in adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog, poses a critical challenge for computer vision systems in applications like autonomous driving, surveillance, and robotics. Image quality degradation due to light scattering and absorption diminishes the performance of even the most advanced models trained on clear-weather datasets. This paper uses the Foggy Cityscapes dataset to evaluate YOLOv8, a cutting-edge object detection model, under extreme foggy conditions. We utilize YOLOv8's sophisticated architecture, featuring the CSPDarknet backbone and Path Aggregation Network (PANet), for efficient feature extraction and multi-scale detection. Our approach incorporates image enhancement techniques and data augmentation to mitigate the effects of fog on feature visibility. We conduct a comprehensive performance assessment using metrics like mean average precision (mAP) precision-recall curves to evaluate the model's robustness and reliability. Additionally, we benchmark YOLOv8 against previous YOLO versions, detailing improvements and trade-offs in detection speed and accuracy. We also propose a hybrid framework combining multi-task learning to improve image quality and object detection in low-visibility scenarios.

The grim situation of novel coronavirus pneumonia 2019 (COVID-19) and its terrible spreading speed have already constituted a severe risk to human life, so it is ultimately essential to rapidly and accurately diagnose for COVID-19 pneumonia. Based on this study’s 746 lung CT images, we propose Multi-MedVit, a novel auxiliary COVID-19 diagnosis framework based on the multi-input Transformer. We compare Multi-MedVit with state-of-the-art deep learning methods, such as CNN, VGG16, and ResNet50. Multi-MedVit outperformed the other methods on the benchmark dataset and proved that multiscale data input for data augmentation helped enhance model stability. Based on an interpretable analysis of the input and output of Multi-MedVit, we found that with the support of the training set data, the model has been possible to accurately focus on the lesion area for diagnosis of COVID-19 without expert annotations, which can provide initial references containing more potential information to doctors more precisely and fleetly.
