We introduce ECLAIR (Extended Classification of Lidar for AI Recognition), a new outdoor large-scale aerial LiDAR dataset designed specifically for advancing research in point cloud semantic segmentation. As the most extensive and diverse collection of its kind to date, the dataset covers a total area of 10$km^2$ with close to 600 million points and features eleven distinct object categories. To guarantee the dataset's quality and utility, we have thoroughly curated the point labels through an internal team of experts, ensuring accuracy and consistency in semantic labeling. The dataset is engineered to move forward the fields of 3D urban modeling, scene understanding, and utility infrastructure management by presenting new challenges and potential applications. As a benchmark, we report qualitative and quantitative analysis of a voxel-based point cloud segmentation approach based on the Minkowski Engine.

Event-related potential (ERP) speller can be utilized in device control and communication for locked-in or severely injured patients. However, problems such as inter-subject performance instability and ERP-illiteracy are still unresolved. Therefore, it is necessary to predict classification performance before performing an ERP speller in order to use it efficiently. In this study, we investigated the correlations with ERP speller performance using a resting-state before an ERP speller. In specific, we used spectral power and functional connectivity according to four brain regions and five frequency bands. As a result, the delta power in the frontal region and functional connectivity in the delta, alpha, gamma bands are significantly correlated with the ERP speller performance. Also, we predicted the ERP speller performance using EEG features in the resting-state. These findings may contribute to investigating the ERP-illiteracy and considering the appropriate alternatives for each user.

Recently, smart home systems based on brain-computer interface (BCI) has attracted a wide range of interests in both industry and academia. However, the current BCI system has several shortcomings as it produces a comparatively lower accuracy for real-time implementations as well as the intuitive paradigm for the users cannot be well established here. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a highly intuitive BCI paradigm that combines event-related potential (ERP) with the speech-imagery task for the individual target objects. The decoding accuracy of the proposed paradigm was 88.1% (plus or minus 5.90) which is a much significant higher performance than a conventional ERP system. Furthermore, the amplitude of N700 components was significantly enhanced over frontal regions which are priory evoked by the speech-imagery task. Our results could be utilized to develop a smart home system so that it could be more user-friendly and convenient by means of delivering user's intentions both, intuitively and accurately.
