Clinical Practice Guideline For Evidence-Based Patient Appointment Reminders, Rohan Matthews Nov 2024

Clinical Practice Guideline For Evidence-Based Patient Appointment Reminders, Rohan Matthews

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are health care interventions used for best care outcomes. With this CPG project, I addressed a practice gap regarding the lack of a systematic approach to patient appointment reminders that resulted in disruption to patient health maintenance in an outpatient community clinic setting. Community and population health are improved with preventative care, wellness, and appropriate health maintenance measures. The practice-focused question central to this CPG was: Will a guideline on patient reminders designed to reduce the frequency of missed appointments in a clinic setting, be approved by a panel of clinical experts for future implementation? The …

End-To-End Motion Planning Of Unmanned Vehicles Based On Multimodal Deep Reinforcement Learning, Kaiyuan Ding, Askar Hamdulla, Bin Zhu, Eksan Firkat, Zhengtang Ma Nov 2024

End-To-End Motion Planning Of Unmanned Vehicles Based On Multimodal Deep Reinforcement Learning, Kaiyuan Ding, Askar Hamdulla, Bin Zhu, Eksan Firkat, Zhengtang Ma

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Since the agent cannot sense the surrounding environment and cannot successfully avoid obstacles, reinforcement learning fails to be generalized to robot motion planning in difficult terrain. Therefore, a solution based on multimodal deep reinforcement learning, which learns to blend proprioceptive states with high-dimensional depth sensor inputs, is proposed for the motion planning of unmanned vehicles. To be specific, proprioceptive states offer contact measurement for immediate reaction, and the unmanned vehicle can learn and forecast environmental changes with its attached visual sensors, proactively navigating around obstacles and uneven terrains numerous time steps ahead. TransProAct (transformer-based proactive action), a unique end-to-end …

Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Method Based On Collaborative Agent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm, Jian Li, Huankun Li, Pengbo He, Huabei Wang, Liping Xu, Kui He

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: To enhance the efficiency of flexible job shop scheduling, this paper develops a Markov decision process with specific constraints tailored to the scheduling problem. A cooperative agent reinforcement learning method is proposed to solve the problem of concurrent selection of workpieces and machines. During the construction of the Markov decision process, a disjunctive graph is introduced to represent the state characteristics. Two agents are introduced to select the workpieces and machines. The reward parameters governing the entire scheduling process are established by predicting variations in the minimum-maximum completion time across different time points. A GIN(graph isomorphic network) graph neural …


Dual-Resource Constrained Distributed Flexible Scheduling For Aerospace Structural Components, Yufang Wang, Dianqing Zhang, Xiaolin Hua, Binbin Yao, Fan Chen Nov 2024

Dual-Resource Constrained Distributed Flexible Scheduling For Aerospace Structural Components, Yufang Wang, Dianqing Zhang, Xiaolin Hua, Binbin Yao, Fan Chen

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: A dual-resource constrained distributed flexible job-shop scheduling model was established by taking into account the worker constraints of the finishing process and the requirements of distributed multi-factory collaboration in the production of aerospace structural components. A hybrid grey wolf optimization algorithm based on the critical factory was proposed to solve this problem. The model contained four subproblems: factory selection, operation sequencing, machine selection, and worker selection. In view of these four sub-problems, a four-layer coding and a new decoding method were designed to avoid the use conflict of machines and workers. In addition, a new mechanism for hunting and …

Misinformation, Fraud, And Stereotyping: Towards A Typology Of Harm Caused By Deepfakes, Paulina Trifonova , '25, Sukrit Venkatagiri Nov 2024

Misinformation, Fraud, And Stereotyping: Towards A Typology Of Harm Caused By Deepfakes, Paulina Trifonova , '25, Sukrit Venkatagiri

Computer Science Faculty Works

Scholars, politicians, and journalists have raised alarm over the potential for AI-generated photos, video, and audio—often referred to as deepfakes—to reduce trust in one another and our institutions. Despite these clarion calls, little empirical work exists on how deepfakes are being used to harm individuals outside of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). This research provides a preliminary analysis of 50 wide-ranging incidents of deepfake harm. We find that the most common types of harm are relational, systemic, financial, and emotional. Apart from AI-generated NCII, the most prevalent uses of deepfakes to cause harm were instances of mis- and disinformation, fraud, and …
