Creating chatbots that respond politely is tough, especially when you don't have examples showing how to do it. We've come up with three clever models that can generate polite (or rude) responses without needing perfect training data. Our first model, called Fusion, combines a dialogue model with a
In EA Sports FC 25, pace matters, especially for centre-backs. If you're playing a high line, your defenders need to be quick to track back and clear the ball. We've rounded up the nine fastest gold centre-backs in the game, based on their overall pace ratings. Check out who made the list! For star
Richland County deputies are investigating a string of troubling incidents at a popular bar near the University of South Carolina. Over the past few months, three young women have reported feeling drugged after visiting TLC Sports Bar and Grill on Stadium Road. Sheriff Leon Lott is cautioning studen
Public health has always been about tracking stuff like diseases and vaccinations. It helps us figure out if our health programs are working and where to spend money to make things better. This research looks into how data from the web can help with this. It comes up with new ways to predict health
Imagine being able to track your health in a way that's tailored just for you. That's what a new model aims to do by using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a tool created by the World Health Organization. This model can handle all sorts of health data, ev
Religious adherence can be seen as a choice, like picking a favorite color. Scientists studied 58 religions from 1900 to 2000, using data from the World Christian Encyclopedia. They found 40 growing religions, 11 of which had a big change in the 1900s. 18 religions were shrinking, with 12 hitting th
Ever wondered how tiny insects like fruit fly larvae can zip through their environment, seeking out food and avoiding danger? It all starts with their olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). These guys are the first responders to smells. Scientists wanted to figure out how these ORNs help larvae navigate
Ever pondered how a single word can wear multiple hats in a sentence? This is called voice syncretism—a single part of a word acting differently in different spots. Let's dive into three types of this tricky trick. Picture a word that can be passive or causative, depending on its role. This is allos
When disaster strikes, like Hurricanes Harvey and Ida, communities face a tough climb back to normal. This study zooms in on how individual households start living their lives again after such events. They looked at places people liked to visit, figuring out how quickly folks got back to their usual
Scientists have come up with a clever way to deal with water pollution. They've created tiny graphene cages that can trap and break down nasty chemicals, like N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), found in water. First, they mix graphene with a special polymer to create a kind of super material called PGO.
