Multiresolution Recurrent Neural Networks: An Application to Dialogue Response Generation
We introduce the multiresolution recurrent neural network, which extends the sequence-to-sequence framework to model natural language generation as two parallel discrete stochastic processes: a sequence of high-level coarse tokens, and a sequence of ...

Explainable human‐in‐the‐loop healthcare image information quality assessment and selection
Abstract Smart healthcare applications cannot be separated from healthcare data analysis and the interactive interpretability between data and model. A human‐in‐the‐loop active learning approach is introduced to reduce the cost of healthcare data labelling by evaluating the information quality of unlabelled medical data and then screening the high ...

Introducing Ulimisana Optimization Algorithm Based on Ubuntu Philosophy
In this paper we give introduction to the concepts of Ubuntu and how we used Mechanism design concepts to construct Ubuntu as an optimisation algorithm. Ubuntu philosophy is old and consists of many oral proverbs that have been documented in recent years.

Personhood and Rights in an African Tradition [PDF]
It is generally accepted that the normative idea of personhood is central to African moral thought, but what has not been done in the literature is to explicate its relationship to the Western idea of rights.

Ductility Tuning via Cluster Network Characteristics of Porous Components
Network optimization via cluster characteristics induced by interaction of stress concentration is proposed, demonstrating increased cluster size and dispersion in non‐uniform porous components. The optimized structures exhibit, for the first time, that enhanced ductility and damage progression is controllable through zigzag cluster network designed by

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Pandemic preparedness: The case for sentinel surveillance of doctors’ burnout
Doctors’ wellbeing is an essential, yet often overlooked component of resilient health systems. Burnout, often described as the ‘canary in the coalmine’, offers a measurable, validated indicator of workforce strain that has direct implications for ...
