Even Experts Can Be Fooled: Reliability of Clinical Examination for Diagnosing Hip Dislocations in Newborns

Deep Text Classification Can be Fooled

Deep neural networks (DNNs) play a key role in many applications. Current studies focus on crafting adversarial samples against DNN-based image classifiers by introducing some imperceptible perturbations to the input. However, DNNs for natural language processing have not got the attention they deserve. In fact, the existing perturbation algorithms for images cannot be directly applied to text....

Can Agents with Causal Misperceptions be Systematically Fooled?∗

Can a policy maker lead an agent to form systematically biased economic forecasts? This possibility is ruled out by the conventional rational-expectations postulate. I revisit this question and assume that the agent misperceives causal relations among economic variables, which may lead to non-rational expectations. The agent forms forecasts of economic variables after observing the policy maker...

Clinical examination for diagnosing circulatory shock

PURPOSE OF REVIEW In the acute setting of circulatory shock, physicians largely depend on clinical examination and basic laboratory values. The daily use of clinical examination for diagnostic purposes contrasts sharp with the limited number of studies. We aim to provide an overview of the diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination in estimating circulatory shock reflected by an inadequate car...

Diagnosing duplications--can it be done?

New genes arise through duplication and modification of DNA sequences on a range of scales: single gene duplication, duplication of large chromosomal fragments and whole-genome duplication. Each duplication mechanism has specific characteristics that influence the fate of the resulting duplicates, such as the size of the duplicated fragment, the potential for dosage imbalance, the preservation ...
