Picture a hospital where machines can mimic human learning. That’s what’s possible with natural language processing (NLP) tools for healthcare providers. Imagine walking into a hospital with machine learning models right behind the scenes, churning through data, learning from real-world scenarios, a
Scientists have found a treasure trove of new chemicals in the Euphorbia peplus plant. These chemicals, known as ent-abietane diterpenoid lactones, were separated into a group of eleven never-seen-before ones (1-11) and nine already known ones (12-20). Figuring out their structures and which way the
Ever wondered how your body might react to a medicine before you take it? That's where personalized medicine comes in. By combining pharmacogenomics (studying how your genes affect your response to drugs) with nanotechnology, scientists are creating something called nano-enabled pharmacogenomics. Th
Imagine sitting down with a book that dishes out revelations about world leaders like it's no big deal. That's what you get with Angela Merkel's new book. Let's dive into some of the juiciest bits. Picture this: it's 2014, and Russian President Vladimir Putin is on the phone with Merkel. He's denyi
In the world of machine learning, not everyone has the expertise to train models. That's why data owners often team up with model owners to create better, more generalized models. The problem? Privacy and confidentiality. Data owners want their data to stay secret, while model owners don't want thei
Imagine this: Macy’s just found out someone hid up to $154 million in expenses over the last few years. This mistake was made by a single employee, now gone, who was in charge of accounting for small package delivery costs. The company found out while preparing quarterly results, which showed sales
Picture this: you keep checking your blood pressure, but it's always too high. It's a major risk for heart disease, even if you're taking meds. But here’s the thing, some blood pressure meds might not be the best for you. They might not make your blood vessels as flexible as they should be, which ca
Ever faced an issue where machines acted up, but the data didn't give clear answers? Researchers have come up with a clever method called multi-adversarial domain adaptation. This system uses three networks to tackle machine problems. The first network grabs features from the data, while the second
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a condition that affects the eyes, causing vision loss. Some people with RP also have a condition called cystoid macular edema (CME), where fluid builds up in the macula, the part of the eye responsible for sharp central vision. Researchers wanted to find out how this fl
Every time you crack open a macadamia nut, you're left with a peel that might seem like trash, but it's actually a treasure trove of beneficial substances. Scientists have discovered that these peels are rich in polysaccharides and other bioactive compounds, like phenols and flavonoids. So, what's t
