Beyond human-in-the-loop: Sensemaking between artificial intelligence and human intelligence collaboration by Xinyue Hao, Emrah Demir, Daniel Eyers

“…Using a sensemaking framework and cognitive mapping methodology, we explored how HI interpret and interact with AI across pre-development, deployment, and post-development phases. Our findings reveal that collaboration is a dynamic and co-constitutive process of institutional co-production, structured by epistemic asymmetry, symbolic accountability, and infrastructural interdependence. …”

Retrospective analysis of the clinical effect of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy by Dongqiang Cui, Ming Yang, Yang Qiao, Zhenxing Gong, Zeqing Hu, Zhuang Ma, Yang Wu, Guitong Huo

“…IntroductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) in patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN).Materials and methodsNinety-two patients underwent permanent SCS implantation and completed a 6-month post-operative follow-up. The primary endpoint was patient amputation rate, and secondary endpoints included Quality of Life (QOL LC V2.0) scale, pain visual analogue scale (VAS), limb nerve conduction velocity, latency and amplitude, and vibration perception threshold (VPT).ResultsIn patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, QOL LC V2.0 and VAS scores were significantly improved at 6 months postoperatively compared to preoperatively (24.74%, p < 0.05; 71.87%, p < 0.05). …”

Graph-based reinforcement learning for software-defined networking traffic engineering by Jingwen Lu, Chaowei Tang, Wenyu Ma, Wenjuan Xing

“…GRL-TE introduces three key innovations: (1) TopoFlowNet, a graph neural network architecture that models WANs as bipartite graphs with edge nodes representing physical links and path nodes representing candidate paths, enabling efficient bidirectional information propagation through GINConv layers while MLP modules handle collaborative relationships among paths serving the same demand; (2) A one-step A2C mechanism specifically designed for TE with immediate reward structure, eliminating the need for future state estimation and significantly simplifying training; (3) Integration of ADMM as a post-processing step to iteratively reduce constraint violations while improving solution quality. …”
