Abstract

In recent times, there has been an increasing number of people who are concerned about the virtual reality field. Parameterization of deformations of 3D models is a meaningful problem in theoretical research and application development of virtual reality. This paper proposes a technique for conditional decomposition of 3D model variations based on a given set of 3D observations of an object, along with a set of input strain weights. The proposed algorithm is conducted through an optimal iterative process with solving the non-negative least squares problem. The output of the technique is a set of base models corresponding to different types of strain. The result of the proposed technique allows the creation of a new 3D model variant of the object in a simple and visually observable way. The algorithm has been tested and proven effective on data that are 3D face models created from the Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) dataset with labeled expression weights.

Abstract

Cancer is known as a dangerous disease to humans with a very high death rate. There are a lot of cancer treatment methods that have been studied and applied in the world. One of the main methods is using radiation beams to kill cancer cells. This method, also known as radiotherapy, requires experts having a high level of skill and experience. Our work focuses on the 3D dose prediction problem in radiotherapy by proposing a framework aiming to create a medical intelligent system for this problem. To do that, we created a convolutional neural network based on ResNet and U-Net to generate the predicted radiation dose. To improve the quality of the training phase, we also applied some data processing techniques based on the characteristics of the 3D computed tomography (CT) data. The experiment used the dataset from patients who were cancer-treated with radiotherapy in the OpenKBP competition. The results achieved good evaluating metrics, the first is by the Dose-score and the second is by the dose-volume histogram (DVH) score. From the training result, we built the medical system supporting 3D dose prediction and visualizing the result as slices in heatmap form.

Abstract

Human resource management is crucial in banking operations and is fundamental for maintaining sustainable development and enhancing the competitiveness of commercial banks. The current challenges in human resource management within banking operations provide notable limits that adversely impact competitiveness. This study seeks to identify the elements impacting human resource management in commercial banks in Vietnam and assess their degree of impact. Considering these issues and their influence on human resource management, the authors suggested strategies to enhance human resource management and bolster the competitiveness of banks. This research employs a blend of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The study included qualitative approaches, utilizing expert techniques and in-depth interviews with 10 bank directors, supplemented by primary data gathered via 350 questionnaires distributed to staff across 10 commercial banks in 10 regions in Vietnam. SPSS 20.0 and Amos software were utilized to measure the extent of influence of the components. The research found six factors: leadership support, training and development of human resources, workplace environment, employee perks and policies, incentive strategies, monitoring, and assessment. The study finds that control and evaluation have the strongest impact on human resource management. Ultimately, the tool assists banks in maintaining adequate human resource management and enhancing competitive positioning. The novelty of this study showed that human resource management affects the competitiveness of commercial banks with a significance of 0.05. Finally, commercial banks should improve digital human resource development software to provide comprehensive management solutions such as AI-driven recruitment platforms, automated performance evaluations, and human resource analytics tools to enhance efficiency, reducing costs and time to perform tasks. Especially helping bank leaders quickly make the right decisions about human resources. Furthermore, human resources management also contributes to the crystallization of corporate cultural values, building and preserving the bank's brand and identity, and is the driving force and goal for the bank's sustainable development.

Abstract

Lung cancer is currently recognized as one of the most dangerous cancers, with high mortality rate. In order to deal with lung cancer, an important task is to detect lung nodules early to improve patient survival rates, and computed tomography (CT) scans are crucial data for this. In this research, we propose a deep learning-based method for detecting lung nodules in the CT images with the goal of increasing the likelihood of nodule appearance in the input data of the network, making it easier for the model to focus on relevant areas while reducing noise from areas unrelated to the result. Specifically, we propose a simple lung region segmentation process and optimize the hyperparameters of the faster region-based convolutional neural networks (faster R-CNN) model based on the analysis of nodule characteristics in CT image data. In our experiments, to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposals, we conducted tests on the standard LUNA16 dataset with different backbone configurations for the model, namely ResNet50, ResNet50v2, and MobileNet. The best results achieved were 0.86 mAP50 and 0.91 Recall for the Resnet50, and 0.84 mAP50 and 0.94 Recall for the ResNet50v2. These impressive outcomes underscore the success of our method and establish a robust basis for future studies to further integrate AI into healthcare solutions.
