Machine learning

The new framework recognizes medications that should not be combined.

Oral medications inevitably must travel through the digestive tract, with transporter proteins assisting this process. However, the exact transporter proteins used by numerous drugs remain unknown. Understanding these transporters could augment patient treatment significantly, given that drugs using the same transporter can disrupt each other's function and should not be co-administered. To solve this, researchers…

Comprehending AI System Prompts and the Impact of Zero-shot versus Few-shot Prompting in Artificial Intelligence

Within the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI), system prompts and the concepts of zero-shot and few-shot prompting have revolutionized the interaction between humans and Large Language Models (LLMs). These methods enhance the effectiveness and applicability of LLMs by guiding AI models to produce accurate and contextually appropriate responses. Essentially, system prompts serve as the initial instructions…

Stanford scientists suggest SleepFM: A fresh comprehensive foundational model for sleep study.

Sleep medicine is a specialized field dedicated to the diagnosis of sleep disorders and the study of sleep patterns. Various techniques, such as polysomnography (PSG), which is a recording of brain, heart, and respiratory activities during sleep, allow medical professionals to have an in-depth understanding of a person's sleep health. Due to the complexity of sleep…

This small, secure identification label can verify nearly everything.

Researchers at MIT have created a cryptographic ID tag that offers improved security over traditional radio frequency (RFID) tags. This enhanced tag incorporates the use of terahertz waves and unique glue patterns to authenticate products and prevent counterfeiting. It’s smaller in size, cheaper to produce, and more secure than traditional RFIDs. The ID tag could…

Improving Self-Directed Learning through Automated Data Organization: A Multi-Level K-Means Method.

Researchers from Meta's FAIR, INRIA, Université Paris Saclay, and Google are working on ways to automatically curate high-quality datasets to improve self-supervised learning (SSL). SSL enables models to be trained without human annotations, expanding data and model scalability, but its success often requires careful data curation. The team proposes a clustering-based technique involving hierarchical k-means…
