Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“Machine learning can assess the effectiveness of mathematical tools used to predict the movements of financial markets, according to new Cornell research based on the largest dataset ever used in this area. The researchers’ model could also predict future market movements, an extraordinarily difficult task because of markets’ massive amounts of information and […]

Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“[AI in mental illness] is one of the most exciting new directions that we have. Because mental health problems, particularly depression but all across the board, are so important. They’re also understaffed in terms of capable counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health professionals in general. So the ability to quantify, in real time, […]

Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“Reading minds has just come a step closer to reality: scientists have developed artificial intelligence that can turn brain activity into text. While the system currently works on neural patterns detected while someone is speaking aloud, experts say it could eventually aid communication for patients who are unable to speak or type, such […]

Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“AI is extremely good at finding patterns across multiple data types. For example, we’re now able to analyze patterns of human response to the pressures of the pandemic as measured through sentiments on social media, and even patterns in geospatial data to see where social distancing may and may not be working. And, […]

#Awesome“…In theory, AIs could be used to predict the evolution of the coronavirus too. Inam imagines running unsupervised learning algorithms to simulate all possible evolution paths. You could then add potential vaccines to the mix and see if the viruses mutate to develop resistance. “This will allow virologists to be a few steps ahead of […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches have the potential to affect several facets of cancer therapy. These include drug discovery and development and how these drugs are clinically validated and ultimately administered at the point of care, among others. Currently, these processes are expensive and time-consuming. Moreover, therapies often result in variable treatment outcomes […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has been working to improve the state of global health through his nonprofit foundation for 20 years, and today he told the nation’s premier scientific gathering that advances in artificial intelligence and gene editing could accelerate those improvements exponentially in the years ahead. “We have an opportunity with […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“… [A]n international team [is] using machine learning to comb through social media posts, news reports, data from official public health channels, and information supplied by doctors for warning signs the virus is taking hold in countries outside of China. The program is looking for social media posts that mention specific symptoms, […]

Awesome, not awesome.#Awesome“ A team at Facebook AI has created a reinforcement learning algorithm that lets a robot find its way in an unfamiliar environment without using a map. Using just a depth-sensing camera, GPS, and compass data, the algorithm gets a robot to its goal 99.9% of the time along a route that is […]

Awesome, not awesome. #Awesome“Brain surgeons are bringing artificial intelligence and new imaging techniques into the operating room, to diagnose tumors as accurately as pathologists, and much faster, according to a report in the journal Nature Medicine… In addition to speeding up the process, the new technique can also detect some details that traditional methods may […]
