Deep learning for detecting and early predicting chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from spirogram time series by Mei, S, Li, X, Zhou, Y, Xu, J, Zhang, Y, Wan, Y, Cao, S, Zhao, Q, Geng, S, Xie, J, Chen, S, Hong, S

“…DeepSpiro consists of four key components: SpiroSmoother for stabilizing the Volume-Flow curve, SpiroEncoder for capturing volume variability-pattern through key patches of varying lengths, SpiroExplainer for integrating heterogeneous data and explaining predictions through volume attention, and SpiroPredictor for predicting the disease risk of undiagnosed high-risk patients based on key patch concavity, with prediction horizons of 1–5 years, or even longer. Evaluated on the UK Biobank dataset, DeepSpiro achieved an AUC of 0.8328 for COPD detection and demonstrated strong predictive performance for future COPD risk (p-value < 0.001). …”

Learning from the community: iterative co-production of a programme to support the development of attention, regulation and thinking skills in toddlers at elevated likelihood of au... by Hendry, A, Hulks, V, Murphy, S, Radford, H, Smith, S, Charman, T, Mathers, S, Rhodes, S, Scerif, G

“…The co-production process for this neurodiversity-affirming programme involved: Review of research priorities identified during published public-and-clinician consultations; iterative programme development through two pilot rounds with a general community sample; and consultation with stakeholders (parents with a connection to autism or ADHD, alongside early years specialists, psychologists and therapists) to check acceptability of the proposal, and refine the logic model and materials. …”

3D object recognition using invariance by Zisserman, A, Forsyth, D, Mundy, J, Rothwell, C, Liu, J, Pillow, N

“…<p>The systems and concepts described in this paper document the evolution of the geometric invariance approach to object recognition over the last five years. Invariance overcomes one of the fundamental difficulties in recognising objects from images: that the appearance of an object depends on viewpoint. …”

Beyond symbolism: the roles of action planning and case-making in immigrant integration policymaking by Allen, WL, Broadhead, J

“…In response, we examine how municipal actors in 12 cities and regions across the UK have devised and communicated policies on immigrant integration—an area that lacks national policy inputs yet is locally consequential—through the mechanism of “action planning.” Drawing on 6 years’ worth of documentary evidence generated through a university-initiated collaboration with these municipalities, we show how action plans gather attention for objectives and propagate examples of practice to other cities—what we call “case-making.” …”

Constructing envelopes: how institutional custodians can tame disruptive algorithms by Marti, E, Lawrence, TB, Steele, C

“…We empirically examine custodians’ responses to the high-frequency trading algorithms that disrupted the field of U.S. securities trading, focusing on the years 2009–2016. Our inductive analysis shows that custodians created an envelope with interconnected normative, governance, and practice “layers” that jointly constrained high-frequency trading. …”
