1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Spatial-temporal information perception is widely used for motion processing in dynamic scenes, but present technology requires relatively huge hardware resource consumption. The attention mechanism helps the human brain extract required information from tremendous data at a low cost. Here, we propose an attention-inspired artificial intelligence architecture based on hetero-dimensional modulations between zero-dimensional contact and two-dimensional electrostatic interfaces. An adaptive spatial-temporal information processing primitive is successfully implemented based on in-memory analog computing. Experiments of attention adjustments responding to different situations validate the adaptation capability to environmental changes. A demonstration of 5×5-unit data stream processing is conducted, and intensities of spatial and temporal information are varied with attention distribution from 0% to 100%. The attention-inspired device is applied to autonomous driving edge intelligence scenarios, showing high adaptability to traffic scene variations. The proposed architecture exhibits a tens-fold latency reduction, hundreds-fold area improvement, and thousands-fold energy saving compared to the conventional transistor-based circuit.
