PURPOSE The percutaneous renal access (PRA) is the most critical step of percutaneous renal surgery (PRS). For the training of PRA in the lab, a novel non-biological bench model was developed and set for validation test.

The mixture-of-experts (ME) models can be useful to solve complicated classification problems in real world. However, in order to train the ME model with not only labeled data but also unlabeled data which are easier to come, a new learning algorithm that considers characteristics of the ME model is required. We proposed global-local co-training (GLCT), the hybrid training method of the ME mode...
