Sex Prediction From the Clavicle Using Computerized Tomography Images via Traditional and Hybrid Deep Learning Models

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to perform high accuracy sex prediction from clavicle images using proposed hybrid deep learning models and traditional deep learning models. The clavicle of 807 female and 805 male individuals obtained from Computed Tomography were segmented in 3D format and saved in jpeg format as superior–inferior and right–left ...

Looking at Soil as It Is: Evolution of Microscopic Soil Characterization From Kubiëna to Artificial Intelligence

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.
