John Altin says the method performs better than random chance and could help scientists more rapidly decode immune responses to infectious diseases and tumors.
AI-generated summary Adrián López Grande plans to complete an incubation programme and a proof of concept with ENAIRE for the Aero-Trail Guard artificial intelligence tool. The developer claims the tool delivers a meaningful reduction in false positives under complex atmospheric conditions compared to earlier contrail-detection models.
AI-generated summary The SETI Institute and an external team have launched AI agents at the Allen Telescope Array to steer the telescope and analyze incoming radio signals in real time. Nvidia says the Holoscan platform processes up to 2.4 terabits per second, allowing the team to detect a pulsar in the Crab Nebula in real time.
AI-generated summary Researchers have released findings showing that artificial intelligence measurements of heart function from MRI scans more strongly predict patient survival than clinician measurements. The artificial intelligence tool analyzed scans in approximately two to three seconds compared to thirteen minutes for expert clinicians, potentially supporting faster clinical decision-making.
AI-generated summary Westlake University scientists released an AI tool called Pinal that generates protein sequences from natural-language prompts describing a desired protein function. The software translates plain-language descriptions into structural blueprints and amino acid sequences to help biologists experiment with problems previously restricted to specialists.
AI-generated summary University of Washington researchers released a new study showing that AI models from Google, OpenAI and Alibaba penalize speakers with Nigerian and Chinese accents during interviews and tests. The study indicates that the models generally ranked American and British speakers highest while giving lower scores to Chinese and Nigerian speakers based on their delivery and perceived clarity.
AI-generated summary Florida Atlantic University made available a study evaluating quantum machine learning approaches for lung cancer prediction using limited training data. D-Wave Quantum Inc. states that the research demonstrates the technology's capability to extract insights in data-constrained healthcare environments.
AI-generated summary OpenAI rolled out results for math, computer science, and physics problems while labs put models to work on puzzles. Mathematicians and scientists are pressing the company to be more transparent about its results and show how its models reached them.
AI-generated summary Euler makes available its software platform for metal additive manufacturing, connecting to existing printer setups in under five minutes. The software uses a predictive engine to alert operators of potential build failures in advance, potentially reducing wasted print time.
