Researchers develop a novel vote-based model for more accurate hand-held object pose estimation

Estimating the pose of hand-held objects is a critical and challenging problem in robotics and computer vision. While leveraging multi-modal RGB and depth data is a promising solution, existing approaches still face challenges due to hand-induced occlusions and multimodal data fusion. In a new study, researchers developed a novel deep learning framework that addresses these issues by introducing a novel vote-based fusion module and a hand-aware pose estimation module.

Broader antibiotic use could change the course of cholera outbreaks, research suggests

Recent disease modeling research challenges public health guidelines recommending conservative antibiotic use for cholera, suggesting that for some outbreaks, prescribing antibiotics more aggressively could slow or stop the spread of the disease and even reduce the likelihood of antibiotic resistance.

How is it we feel a sense of agency over our movements?

The sensation of controlling one’s body and things in the environment is known as sense of agency (SoA). Not only is SoA pivotal for tasks and well-being in everyday life, but its mechanisms have become increasingly important for the development of human-computer interfaces in new technology. This need has fueled research in this area, in particular to understand how SoA is generated from scratch in unfamiliar environments. Researchers performed experiments involving hand-to-screen mapping using a specialized glove and highlighted the role of motor exploration in generating experience of self-agency. Their findings could contribute to future health and technology applications.

New AI technique can uncover antiviral compounds using limited data

Artificial intelligence algorithms have now been combined with traditional laboratory methods to uncover promising drug leads against human enterovirus 71 (EV71), the pathogen behind most cases of hand, foot and mouth disease. The study showed that reliable antiviral predictions can be made even when only a modest amount of experimental data are available.

Advancing AI for diverse applications in manufacturing, business and education

Large language models (LLMs) are at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) and have been widely used for conversational interactions. However, assessing the personality of a given LLM remains a significant challenge. A research team has now developed an AI-driven assessment system, the Language Model Linguistic Personality Assessment (LMLPA), with capabilities to quantitatively measure the personality traits of LLMs through linguistic analysis.

How a smartphone app could transform mental health care

Smartphones may often feel like a source of stress, feeding us an endless stream of bad news and social comparison. But what if they could also be the solution? A team of researchers believes they can be. The team has developed a smartphone app that delivers core techniques of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) — a proven treatment for depression and anxiety — straight into the hands of users, and tested it in the largest-ever individually randomized trial of its kind. Their resilience training app, called RESiLIENT, was tested on nearly 4,000 adults across Japan experiencing subthreshold depression — a form of low-level but persistent depressive symptoms that doesn’t meet criteria for major depressive disorder but can still be debilitating. This condition affects an estimated 11% of people worldwide and often goes untreated.
