A probabilistic causal machine learning framework trained on long-term monitoring data from a full-scale wastewater plant can predict N2O hot moments and convert interpretable outputs into risk-decision rules for adaptive aeration and load regulation to reduce emissions.

Researchers developed a probabilistic causal machine learning framework using long-term online monitoring data from a full-scale biological wastewater treatment plant to address intermittent nitrous oxide emission hot moments. The approach combined predictive modeling with cohort-based SHAP for nonlinear effects, LiNGAM-based causal discovery for pathway identification, and copula-based joint probability analysis for risk quantification.

A multi-modal deep learning framework using Heckmatt scores from six key muscles improved speed and diagnostic performance for muscle ultrasound, predicting neuromuscular pathology with an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.87 on a test set of 320 patients.

Researchers developed a single-center multi-modal deep learning framework that fuses muscle ultrasound Heckmatt scores from six key muscles with patient BMI and age to screen for neuromuscular pathology. Tested on 320 patients, the model achieved an area under the precision-recall curve of 0.87 for distinguishing presence versus absence of disease.

Converting numerical clinical data into 24-bit rectangular coded images and training ResNet architectures improved heart failure survival prediction, reaching reported accuracy up to 0.9617.

On August 15, 2026, a peer-reviewed paper described a method that converts numerical heart failure data into 24-bit rectangular coded images to fit deep learning input sizes, then augments the dataset through horizontal augmentation and rotation in multiples of 15b0. The resulting images were used to train ResNet18 and ResNet50 models for survival prediction.
