Parents may have more influence than they realize when it comes to shaping their children’s behavior, especially for those at higher genetic risk for conduct problems, according to Rutgers Health-led research.
The study, published in Frontiers in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, found that consistent parental monitoring – meaning knowing where children are, who they’re with, and what they’re doing – can help offset genetic risk for developing behavior problems during adolescence.
The Context-Guided Segmentation Network (CGS-Net) developed by University of Maine researchers introduces a deep learning architecture designed to interpret microscopic images of tissue with greater precision than conventional AI models. Powered by a dual-encoder model that mirrors the workflow of a pathologist examining a slide, one branch of the network processes a high-resolution image patch to capture cell-level details, while the other examines a lower-resolution patch encompassing the surrounding tissue. A system of interconnected encoders and decoders uses data from both the high and low resolution images for a complete analysis.
