Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a crucial early warning sign for Alzheimer's disease. Yet, many current methods only focus on brain images, ignoring other valuable data like genetics and clinical info. This can lead to a lot of noise in the data, making it hard to spot the real patterns. To fix t
Figuring out if texts are positive or negative, called sentiment analysis, is super useful in lots of fields. While machines can now do this super fast and accurately, lexicon-based methods have their own perks. They might not be as perfect as machine learning or big language models, but they can wo
Think of a big school software supplier, or maybe even one you use. Now imagine it got hacked, and some personal details were taken. That's just what happened. PowerSchool, a cloud-based platform for schools, got breached on December 28. Someone swiped two tables from their student info system, whic
Hospitals use brief hospital course (BHC) summaries to record patient stays. These summaries are typically created manually by clinical staff. Large language models (LLMs) have shown great potential in automating various tasks, but their use in healthcare, especially for generating BHCs from clinica
Gathering real-world clinical data for research can be a slow and error-prone process. Researchers wondered if artificial intelligence (AI), specifically natural language processing (NLP), could help speed things up for advanced lung cancer (aLC) patients. They tested this idea by comparing NLP-extr
Electronic health records, often just called EHRs, have been around for a while now, making it easier for doctors and nurses to access a patient's information. This helps them work together better and give faster, more effective care. But it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Over the last 25 years, EH
At this year's CES in Las Vegas, TV companies are showing off software and AI features, not the hardware we'd expect. LG's new "AI Remote" is a prime example. While they market it as a cool feature, this remote lacks a simple input button, making it harder to use. The Holy Grail for TVs should be to
Public servants play a crucial role in connecting the government with its citizens. Their work directly influences how national policies are put into action. A recent study in China used the Labor Force Survey to find out more about these public servants and their professional identity. The study a
Intensive care units, or ICUs, are where the sickest patients go. They're at high risk of dying, so doctors need to keep a close eye on them. This means lots of data is collected. Thanks to teamwork, big open access databases have emerged. These databases have helped researchers publish many studies
these days, severe weather like storms and flash floods are ramping up. That's where a handy app like Weather Hi-Def Radar comes in. This isn't just your phone's basic weather app kicked up a notch. It's a capable tool that keeps you in the know, with a animated map showing current and future weathe
