Latest Data Digest: Trending News Highlights
In the world of technology, researchers continue to push the boundaries of what's possible with artificial intelligence (AI). Here are some of the latest advancements that are making headlines:
Researchers from MIT have developed a deep-learning model that can predict sites or objects that trigger smokers to smoke cigarettes. The model, trained on clinical notes from electronic health records, can correctly classify patients with a nearly 80 percent probability. This groundbreaking research could potentially help smokers avoid triggers and aid in their quest to quit.
Across the Atlantic, a team of researchers from LinkedIn and Indiana University have used LinkedIn data to create a global map of labor flow. This comprehensive map offers insights into the movement of workers across industries and geographies, providing valuable data for businesses and policymakers alike.
Fast radio bursts (FRBs), those mysterious signals from billions of light-years away, are proving to be a valuable tool in the study of matter between galaxies. A group of researchers led by an individual from Swinburne University of Technology in Australia have developed an AI system that can detect FRBs in space. The system can distinguish FRBs from millions of other radio waves, such as waves from mobile phones, lightning storms, and the Sun.
In the realm of safety and efficiency, autonomous delivery robots are making a mark. FedEx is using one such robot in Manchester, New Hampshire for same-day deliveries. This robot, capable of traveling up to 10 miles per hour and carrying packages up to 100 pounds, signals when it turns or stops, ensuring a smooth and safe delivery experience.
The use of AI is not limited to these areas. Researchers from the Netherlands have shown that machine learning can accurately predict if an inpatient at a psychiatric facility will display violent behavior. Furthermore, researchers involved in developing AI systems for analyzing satellite imagery to detect signs of impending volcanic eruptions include Philippe Jousset from GFZ (German Research Centre for Geosciences) and Gilda Currenti from INGV (Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology).
Interestingly, while industries such as retail are experiencing significant declines in college-educated workers, researchers have found strong connections between an influx of educated workers and productivity growth. As AI continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how these trends unfold and how they shape our future.
