This study proposes a novel loss function for neural network models that explores the topological structure of stock realized volatility (RV) data by adding Wasserstein Distance (WD). The study shows that the proposed loss statistically significantly improves the forecast accuracy of neural network models …

Background: To avoid overexertion in critically ill patients, information on the physical demand, i.e., metabolic load, of daily care and active exercises is warranted. Objective: The objective of this study was toassess the metabolic load during morning care activities and active bed exercises in mechanically …

Objective: Acknowledging study limitations in a scientific publication is a crucial element in scientific transparency and progress. However, limitation reporting is often inadequate. Natural language processing (NLP) methods could support automated reporting checks, improving research transparency. …

Accurate localization in autonomous robots enables effective decision-making within their operating environment. Various methods have been developed to address this challenge, encompassing traditional techniques, fiducial marker utilization, and machine learning approaches. This work proposes a deep-learning …
