In this study, the authors hypothesized that closed-circuit television images could be stored with improved resolution by using enhanced deep residual (EDSR) networks.

Neural networks are used throughout modern society to solve many problems commonly thought of as impossible for computers. Fountain and Rasmus designed a convolutional neural network and ran it with varying levels of training to see if consistent, accurate, and precise changes or patterns could be observed. They found that training introduced and strengthened patterns in the weights and visualizations, the patterns observed may not be consistent between all neural networks.

Improving the classifier of the difficulty level of Sudoku.

Modern artificial neural networks have been remarkably successful in various applications, from speech recognition to computer vision. However, it remains less clear whether they can implement abstract concepts, which are essential to generalization and understanding. To address this problem, the authors investigated the above vs. below task, a simple concept-based task that honeybees can solve, using a conventional neural network. They found that networks achieved 100% test accuracy when a visual target was presented below a black bar, however only 50% test accuracy when a visual target was presented below a reference shape.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves the reduction of cholinergic activity due to a decrease in neuronal levels of nAChR α7. In this work, Sanyal and Cuellar-Ortiz explore the role of the nAChR α7 in learning and memory retention, using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The performance of mutant flies (PΔEY6) was analyzed in locomotive and olfactory-memory retention tests in comparison to wild type (WT) flies and an Alzheimer's disease model Arc-42 (Aβ-42). Their results suggest that the lack of the D. melanogaster-nAChR causes learning, memory, and locomotion impairments, similar to those observed in Alzheimer's models Arc-42.

This study explored whether planaria, known for their regenerative abilities, can retain learned memories after regeneration and how stressors like alcohol affect memory.

The authors train a neural network to detect text-based emotions including joy, sadness, anger, fear, love, and surprise.

This manuscript explores the performance of five different machine learning models in classifying brain tumors from a dataset of MRI scans. The authors find that several of the models showed >90% accuracy. Thus, the authors suggest that machine learning models demonstrate potential for effective implementation in clinical settings, including as a diagnostic tool that can be used to complement the expertise of neuroradiologists.

This study investigates how the hyperparameters epochs and batch size affect the classification accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on pulsar candidate data. Our results reveal that accuracy improves with increasing number of epochs and smaller batch sizes, suggesting that with optimized hyperparameters, high accuracy may be achievable with minimal training. These findings offer insights that could help create more efficient machine learning classification models for pulsar signal detection, with the potential of accelerating pulsar discovery and advancing astrophysical research.

Advertising platforms like Google Ads use AI to drive the algorithms used to maximize advertisers benefits. This study shows that AI does not adjust it strategy based on auction type and highlights the limitations of AI running without explicit guidance.
