As we get older, our brains shrink, and our thinking skills deteriorate. Scientists have found a new way to study this process using brain age prediction. This study introduces a special deep learning model that can guess someone's age from brain scans. Researchers used data from almost 17, 000 heal
Ever noticed how the second-hand sailboat market is booming? It's all about the circular economy these days. But what makes a sailboat's price tick? This is where things get interesting. Researchers have been using some clever models like the random forest and XGBoost algorithm to figure out what re
Did you know that asthma attacks can be triggered by simple things like pollutants in the air, viruses, exercising, or even allergens? Scientists are now using machine learning to help predict and warn patients about these triggers. They trained and tested lightweight models like XGBoost, Random For
Predicting stock prices is like trying to read the future, and it's a tough challenge for researchers. One popular tool is the long short-term memory neural network (LSTM), which can handle long-term patterns in stock data. But tuning LSTM's settings manually can be tricky and affect how well it wor
Imagine getting an early warning about a massive wildfire, even before it starts! That’s what Edgar McGregor, a 24-year-old climate scientist, did for thousands of Californians.
