Efficiently learning representations of clinical concepts (i. e., symptoms, lab test, etc.) from unstructured notes electronic health record (EHR) data remain significant challenges, since each patient may have multiple visits at different times and visit contain sequential concepts. Therefore, distributed temporal patterns is an essential step for downstream applications on EHR data. However, existing methods representation can not adequately capture either contextual information per-visit...
<title>Abstract</title> Over the past two decades, anthropogenic emission reductions and global warming have impacted marine low clouds through aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) cloud feedback, yet their quantitative contributions remain unclear. This study employs a deep learning model (CNN<sub>Met−Nd</sub>) Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) to disentangle these effects. CNN<sub>Met−Nd</sub> reveals that aerosol-driven changes in droplet number concentration dominate near-global...

Accurate estimation of ambient PM2.5 concentrations is crucial for assessing air quality and health risks, particularly in regions with limited ground-based monitoring. Satellite-retrieved data products, such as top-of-atmosphere reflectance (TOAR) aerosol optical depth (AOD), are widely used estimation. However, complex atmospheric conditions cause retrieval gaps TOAR AOD limiting their reliability. This study introduced a spatiotemporal convolutional approach to fill sampling from the...
Abstract Here, we use 16‐year satellite and reanalysis data in combination with a multivariate regression model to investigate how aerosols affect cloud fraction (CF) over the East Coast of United States. Cloud droplet number concentrations (N d ), geometrical thickness, lower tropospheric stability, relative humidity at 950 hPa (RH ) are identified as major controlling parameters that explain 97% variability CF. N is shown play an important role regulating dependence CF on RH . The observed...
Abstract Anthropogenic activities have drastically impacted the climate system since Industrial Revolution. However, to what extent anthropogenic emissions influence cloud droplet number concentration ( N d ), critical parameter for understanding aerosol‐cloud interactions, is poorly known on hemispheric scale due considerable retrieval uncertainty.

In this study, an online transfer TSK fuzzy classifier O-T-TSK-FC is proposed for recognizing epilepsy signals. Compared with most of the existing learning models, enjoys its merits from following three aspects: 1) Since different patients often response to same neuronal firing stimulation in neural manners, labeled data source domain cannot accurately represent primary EEG target domain. Therefore, we design objective function which can integrate subject-specific induce predictive function....
Marine low clouds significantly cool the climate, but predicting these remains challenging: response of to various factors is highly non-linear. Previous studies usually overlook effects cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) and non-local information target grids. To address challenges, we introduce a convolutional neural network model (CNNMet-Nd) that uses both local includes Nd as cloud-controlling factor enhance predictive ability cover, albedo, radiative (CRE) for global marine clouds....
