Evaluating feature extraction reproducibility across image biomarker standardization initiative‐compliant radiomics platforms using a digital phantom

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to thoroughly analyze the reproducibility of radiomics feature extraction across three Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI)‐compliant platforms using a digital phantom for benchmarking. It uncovers high consistency among common features while also pointing out the necessity for standardization ...

When cognition kicks in: Working memory and speech understanding in noise

Noise and Health, 2010
Perceptual load and cognitive load can be separately manipulated and dissociated in their effects on speech understanding in noise. The Ease of Language Understanding model assumes a theoretical position where perceptual task characteristics interact ...

Improving Self-supervised Pre-training via a Fully-Explored Masked Language Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Masked Language Model (MLM) framework has been widely adopted for self-supervised language pre-training. In this paper, we argue that randomly sampled masks in MLM would lead to undesirably large gradient variance. Thus, we theoretically quantify the gradient variance via correlating the gradient covariance with the Hamming distance between two ...

Crowding is unlike ordinary masking: distinguishing feature integration from detection.

Journal of Vision, 2004
A letter in the peripheral visual field is much harder to identify in the presence of nearby letters. This is "crowding." Both crowding and ordinary masking are special cases of "masking," which, in general, refers to any effect of a "mask" pattern on ...

Empowering young minds through STEM education: Engaging high schoolers in Ghana through medical physics

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To promote diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), an educational presentation and hands‐on session was organised to raise awareness of STEM career opportunities among high school girls to introduce the students to the field of medical physics. Materials and Methods The study involved 65 first‐year Senior

Mitochondrial DNA disorders in neuromuscular diseases in diverse populations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuromuscular features are common in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) disorders. The genetic architecture of mtDNA disorders in diverse populations is poorly understood. We analysed mtDNA variants from whole‐exome sequencing data in neuromuscular patients from South Africa, Brazil, India, Turkey and Zambia. In 998 individuals, there were two definite

Predicting the readability of transparent text [PDF]

, 2002
Will a simple global masking model based on image detection be successful at predicting the readability of transparent text? Text readability was measured for two types of transparent text: additive (as occurs in head-up displays) and multiplicative ...

Effects of sounds of locomotion on speech perception

Noise and Health, 2015
Human locomotion typically creates noise, a possible consequence of which is the masking of sound signals originating in the surroundings. When walking side by side, people often subconsciously synchronize their steps.

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...
