A review on machine learning in flexible surgical and interventional robots: Where we are and where we are going

Minimally Invasive Procedures (MIPs) emerged as an alternative to more invasive surgical approaches, offering patient benefits such as smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stay. In one class of MIPs, where natural body lumens or small incisions are used to access deeper anatomical locations, Flexible Surgical and Interventional...

Artificial intelligence combined with high-throughput calculations to improve the corrosion resistance of AlMgZn alloy

Efficiently designing lightweight alloys with combined high corrosion resistance and mechanical properties remains an enduring topic in materials engineering. Due to the inadequate accuracy of conventional stress-strain machine learning (ML) models caused by corrosion factors, a novel reinforcement self-learning ML algorithm combined with...

Building and roof type classification on 3D city models

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, 3D city models have become more accurate and complex. Despite their widespread availability of open-source 3D city model datasets, these invaluable resources remain underutilized. Our primary goal centers on the classification of building and roof types. For our client, Spotr, our work directly impacts on...

Detection of Distractions in Human Manual Control Tasks Using Machine Learning

Technological devices are ubiquitous, think of for example smartphones and in-vehicle information systems. Both can contribute towards distracted driving where the visual field of the human controller is shifted away from the primary control task. In this paper a neural network model is trained using the InceptionTime architecture and used to...

Metadata Representations for Queryable Repositories of Machine Learning Models

Machine learning (ML) practitioners and organizations are building model repositories of pre-trained models, referred to as model zoos. These model zoos contain metadata describing the properties of the ML models and datasets. The metadata serves crucial roles for reporting, auditing, ensuring reproducibility, and enhancing interpretability....

Continual driver behaviour learning for connected vehicles and intelligent transportation systems: Framework, survey and challenges

Modelling, predicting and analysing driver behaviours are essential to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and the comprehensive understanding of complex driving scenarios.

A data-driven and machine-learning study on microstructure-property relations in steel

Multi-phase metallic materials such as Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) are of great importance in a wide variety of high-tech industries due to their higher strength compared to conventional (mild) forming steels. The higher strength leads to various advantages in weight, safety and environmental friendliness. In order to develop new AHHS...

Label-Only Membership Inference Attack against \\Node-Level Graph Neural Networks

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), inspired by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), aggregate the message of nodes' neighbors and structure information to acquire expressive representations of nodes for node classification, graph classification, and link prediction. Previous studies have indicated that node-level GNNs are vulnerable to Membership...

Towards understanding and prediction of atmospheric corrosion of an Fe/Cu corrosion sensor via machine learning

The atmospheric corrosion of carbon steel was monitored by a Fe/Cu type galvanic corrosion sensor for 34 days. Using a random forest (RF)-based machine learning approach, the impacts of relative humidity, temperature and rainfall were identified to be higher than those of airborne particles, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide...
