Abstract: An adjusting method and a training system for a machine learning classification model and a user interface are provided. The machine learning classification model is used to identify several categories. The adjusting method includes the following steps. Several identification data are inputted to the machine learning classification model to obtain several confidences of the categories for each of the identification data. A classification confidence distribution for each of the identification data whose highest value of the confidences is not greater than a critical value is recorded. The classification confidence distributions of the identification data are counted. Some of the identification data are collected according to the cumulative counts of the classification confidence distributions. Whether the collected identification data belong to a new category is determined. If the collected identification data belong to a new category, the new category is added.

Abstract: Articles, systems, and methods for rapid administration and active pharmaceutical compositions to subjects exposed to radiation and/or toxins are provided by this disclosure. There are currently few interventional technologies to protect against long-term morbidity and mortality from exposure to radiation and chemical warfare. Furthermore, as commercially available technologies such as additive manufacturing and small-scale chemical reactors have become more prevalent, the risk of misuse of such technologies by terrorists and rogue nation states to manufacture nuclear, radiologic, and chemical weapons continues to increase. Articles, systems, and methods described herein combine sensing technologies with drug release components, in order to provide an approach for rapid diagnosis of and response to exposure to radiation and toxic agents.
