In clinical nursing, neonatal pain assessment is a challenging task for preventing and controlling the impact of pain on neonatal development. To reduce the adverse effects of repetitive painful treatments during hospitalization on newborns, we propose a novel method (namely pain concept-cognitive computing model, PainC3M) for evaluating facial pain in newborns. In the fusion system, we first improve the attention mechanism of vision transformer by revising the node encoding way, considering the spatial structure, edge and centrality of nodes, and then use its corresponding encoder as a feature extractor to comprehensively extract image features. Second, we introduce a concept-cognitive computing model as a classifier to evaluate the level of pain. Finally, we evaluate our PainC3M on various open pain data sets and a real clinical pain data stream, and the experimental results demonstrate that our PainC3M is very effective for dynamic classification and superior to other comparative models. It also provides a good approach for pain assessment of individuals with aphasia (or dementia).

Bird voice classification is a crucial issue in wild bird protection work. However, the existing strategies of static classification are always unable to achieve the desired outcomes in a dynamic data stream context, as the standard machine learning approaches mainly focus on static learning, which is not suitable for mining dynamic data and has the disadvantages of high computational overhead and hardware requirements. Therefore, these shortcomings greatly limit the application of standard machine learning approaches. This study aims to quickly and accurately distinguish bird species by their sounds in bird conservation work. For this reason, a novel concept-cognitive computing system (C3S) framework, namely, PyC3S, is proposed for bird sound classification in this paper. The proposed system uses feature fusion and concept-cognitive computing technology to construct a Python version of a dynamic bird song classification and recognition model on a dataset containing 50 species of birds. The experimental results show that the model achieves 92.77% accuracy, 92.26% precision, 92.25% recall, and a 92.41% F1-Score on the given 50 bird datasets, validating the effectiveness of our PyC3S compared to the state-of-the-art stream learning algorithms.

Although previous research has explored the correlation between teacher characteristics and teaching quality, effective methods for identifying key factors that influence teaching quality are still lacking. This study aims to address this issue by developing an identification methodology based on a computational pedagogy research paradigm to identify the key characteristics of teachers and courses that influence their teaching quality. We developed quantitative models to quantify the characteristics of teaching quality, based on those identified in previous studies. Correlation and multiple correlation analyses were conducted to identify the key influencing characteristics, and grey correlation analysis was used to calculate the degree of correlation between these key characteristics and teaching quality. Our methodology was applied to 27 computer science discipline teachers and 82 courses, and validated with teaching data from eight additional teachers. Our findings demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in identifying the key influence characteristics of teachers and courses on teaching quality and confirm significant correlations between these key influential characteristics and teaching quality. This innovative approach provides new insights and tools for predicting and improving the teaching quality across disciplinary majors. Our research has significant implications for future education studies, particularly for the development of effective methods for identifying key factors that influence teaching quality. By providing a more comprehensive understanding of the key factors that influence teaching quality, our study can inform the development of evidence-based strategies to improve the teaching effectiveness for different disciplinary majors.
