Safer chemicals using less animals: kick-off of the European ONTOX project

2021

The 3Rs concept, calling for replacement, reduction and refinement of animal experimentation, is receiving increasing attention around the world, and has found its way to legislation, in particular in the European Union. This is aligned by continuing high-level efforts of the European Commission to support development and implementation of 3Rs methods. In this respect, the European project called "ONTOX: ontology-driven and artificial intelligence-based repeated dose toxicity testing of chemicals for next generation risk assessment" was recently initiated with the goal to provide a functional and sustainable solution for advancing human risk assessment of chemicals without the use of animal…

An ontology for cognitive mimetics

2018

AI and autonomous systems are intended to replace people in several jobs. People have worked in these jobs being able to execute the required information processing. This implies that new technical artefacts must be able to perform equitably effective information processing. Thus, it makes sense to develop the analysis of human information processing in designing intelligent systems. This approach has been termed cognitive mimetics. This paper studies how it would be practical to gain knowledge about human information processing and organize this knowledge using ontologies.

Questions in Cognitive Mimetics

2021

Human thinking advances through questions and answers. Any field of human endeavor is permeated by the presence of questions, answers and presuppositions. Questions have a kind of universality, whereby one can place the question marks on anything, including questions themselves. The process of asking the right questions about the right things and in the right way are key for the explication of an approach. Recently, we have begun thinking about an approach to the design of intelligent technology: Cognitive mimetics. In brief, the idea is to take inspiration of empirical human thinking in specific contexts to develop AI solutions. The purpose of this article is to question this approach from…

Using Tsetlin Machine to discover interpretable rules in natural language processing applications

2021

Tsetlin Machines (TM) use finite state machines for learning and propositional logic to represent patterns. The resulting pattern recognition approach captures information in the form of conjunctive clauses, thus facilitating human interpretation. In this work, we propose a TM-based approach to three common natural language processing (NLP) tasks, namely, sentiment analysis, semantic relation categorization and identifying entities in multi-turn dialogues. By performing frequent itemset mining on the TM-produced patterns, we show that we can obtain a global and a local interpretation of the learning, one that mimics existing rule-sets or lexicons. Further, we also establish that our TM base…

Exploiting deep learning algorithms and satellite image time series for deforestation prediction

2022

In recent years, we have witnessed the emergence of Deep Learning (DL) methods, which have led to enormous progress in various fields such as automotive driving, computer vision, medicine, finances, and remote sensing data analysis. The success of these machine learning methods is due to the ever-increasing availability of large amounts of information and the computational power of computers. In the field of remote sensing, we now have considerable volumes of satellite images thanks to the large number of Earth Observation (EO) satellites orbiting the planet. With the revisit time of satellites over an area becoming shorter and shorter, it will probably soon be possible to obtain daily imag…

Posthumānisma domstarpības un Pigmaliona mīts Ričarda Pauersa romānā "Galatea 2,2"

2021

Tehnoloģijas, īpaši mākslīgais intelekts, strauji attīstās. Posthumānisms kā teorija noraida humānisma antropocentriskumu, kas uzskata cilvēku par Visuma centru. Līdz ar augošo mijiedarbību start tehnoloģijām un cilvēku, robežas starp tiem pamazām izzūd. Šī darba mērķis ir izpētīt attiecības starp cilvēku un tā radīto būtni Ričarda Pauersa romānā “Galatea 2,2”, intelektuālo mašīnu un cilvēka mijiedarbību posthumānisma kontekstā un tehnoloģiju spēju parādīt pašapziņu par spīti to bezķermeniskumam. Helēna ir posthumānisma ķermenis, kuru cilvēki ir radījuši ar cerību, ka tā spēs nokārtot Turinga testu. Helēna sāk izrādīt apziņu, kas palīdz tai izveido ciešas attiecības ar Pauersu.

Effects of Interobserver Variability on 2D and 3D CT- and MRI-Based Texture Feature Reproducibility of Cartilaginous Bone Tumors

2021

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the influence of interobserver manual segmentation variability on the reproducibility of 2D and 3D unenhanced computed tomography (CT)- and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based texture analysis. Thirty patients with cartilaginous bone tumors (10 enchondromas, 10 atypical cartilaginous tumors, 10 chondrosarcomas) were retrospectively included. Three radiologists independently performed manual contour-focused segmentation on unenhanced CT and T1-weighted and T2-weighted MRI by drawing both a 2D region of interest (ROI) on the slice showing the largest tumor area and a 3D ROI including the whole tumor volume. Additionally, a marginal erosion was applied…

Artificial Intelligence and Precision Medicine: A Perspective

2022

This article aims to present how the advanced solutions of artificial intelligence and precision medicine work together to refine medical management. Multi-omics seems the most suitable approach for biological analysis of data on precision medicine and artificial intelligence. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases to collect pertinent articles appearing up to 5 March 2021. Genetics, oncology, radiology, and the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic were chosen as representative fields addressing the cross-compliance of artificial intelligence (AI) and precision medicine based on the highest number of articles, topicality, and interconnectedness of the issue. Overall, we i…

Artificial intelligence to counteract “KPI overload” in business process monitoring: the case of anti-corruption in public organizations

2023

PurposeThe nature and amount of data that public organizations have to monitor to counteract corruption lead to a phenomenon called “KPI overload”, consisting of the business analyst feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information and resulting in the absence of appropriate control. The purpose of this study is to develop a solution based on Artificial Intelligence technology to avoid data overloading and, at the same time, under-controlling in business process monitoring.Design/methodology/approachThe authors adopted a design science research approach. The authors started by observing a specific problem in a real context (a healthcare organization); then conceptualized, designed and imple…
