FOAM: A General Frequency-Optimized Anti-Overlapping Framework for Overlapping Object Perception

Overlapping object perception aims to decouple the randomly overlapping foreground-background features, extracting foreground features while suppressing background features, which holds significant application value in fields such as security screening and medical auxiliary diagnosis. Despite some research efforts to tackle the challenge of overlapping object perception, most solutions are confi...

Developing an interpretable machine learning model for screening depression in older adults with functional disability.

This study utilized data from the 2020 wave of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study database, selecting 4322 participants aged 60 and above as the study sample. Important predictors of depression in older adults with functional disabilities were identified using LASSO regression, univariate logistic regression, and multivariate logistic regression. Five different machine learning alg...
