Cross-sectional design and protocol for Artificial Intelligence Ready and Equitable Atlas for Diabetes Insights (AI-READI) by Gerald McGwin, Linda M Zangwill, Nicholas Evans, Shannon McWeeney, Cecilia S Lee, Bhavesh Patel, Jeffrey C Edberg, Cynthia Owsley, Aaron Lee, Cecilia Lee, Sally L Baxter, Michael Snyder, Samantha Hurst, Nicole Ehrhardt, Christopher Chute, Dawn S Matthies, Julia P Owen, Amir Bahmani, Sally Baxter, Edward Boyko, Aaron Cohen, Jorge Contreras, Garrison Cottrell, Virginia de Sa, Jeffrey Edberg, Irl Hirsch, Michelle Hribar, T.Y. Alvin Liu, Bonnie Maldenado, Sara Singer, Bradley Voytek, Joseph Yracheta, Linda Zangwill

“…Introduction Artificial Intelligence Ready and Equitable for Diabetes Insights (AI-READI) is a data collection project on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to facilitate the widespread use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) approaches to study salutogenesis (transitioning from T2DM to health resilience). The fundamental rationale for promoting health resilience in T2DM stems from its high prevalence of 10.5% of the world’s adult population and its contribution to many adverse health events.Methods AI-READI is a cross-sectional study whose target enrollment is 4000 people aged 40 and older, triple-balanced by self-reported race/ethnicity (Asian, black, Hispanic, white), T2DM (no diabetes, pre-diabetes and lifestyle-controlled diabetes, diabetes treated with oral medications or non-insulin injections and insulin-controlled diabetes) and biological sex (male, female) (Clinicaltrials.org approval number STUDY00016228). …”

Traditional guidance mechanism based deep robust watermarking by Xuejing GUO, Yixiang FANG, Yi ZHAO, Tianzhu ZHANG, Wenchao ZENG, Junxiang WANG

“…With the development of network and multimedia technology, multimedia data has gradually become a key source of information for people, making digital media the primary battlefield for copyright protection and anti-counterfeit traceability.Digital watermarking techniques have been widely studied and recognized as important tools for copyright protection.However, the robustness of conventional digital watermarking methods is limited as sensitive digital media can easily be affected by noise and external interference during transmission.Then the existing powerful digital watermarking technology’s comprehensive resistance to all forms of attacks must be enhanced.Moreover, the conventional robust digital watermarking algorithm’s generalizability across a variety of image types is limited due to its embedding method.Deep learning has been widely used in the development of robust digital watermarking systems due to its self-learning abilities.However, current initialization techniques based on deep neural networks rely on random parameters and features, resulting in low-quality model generation, lengthy training times, and potential convergence issues.To address these challenges, a deep robust digital watermarking algorithm based on a traditional bootstrapping mechanism was proposed.It combined the benefits of both traditional digital watermarking techniques and deep neural networks, taking into account their learning abilities and robust characteristics.The algorithm used the classic robust digital watermarking algorithm to make watermarked photos, and the constructed feature guaranteed the resilience of traditional watermarked images.The final dense image was produced by fusing the conventionally watermarked image with the deep network using the U-Net structure.The testing results demonstrate that the technique can increase the stego image’s resistance to various attacks and provide superior visual quality compared to the conventional algorithm.…”
