Super Like: Netflix adds double thumbs up button
A double thumbs up button is coming to Netflix's TV, web, and mobile apps. Clicking it influences Netflix's content recommendation algorithm more strongly than the regular thumb up and thumb down buttons the streaming service has used since 2017......»»
Researchers accurately identify people with PTSD through text data alone
Researchers have trained a machine learning model to identify people with post-traumatic stress disorder with 80 per cent accuracy by analyzing text data. The model could one day serve as an accessible and inexpensive screening tool to support health.....»»
AI predicts if -- and when -- someone will have cardiac arrest
A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict, significantly more accurately than a doctor, if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. The technology, built on raw images of patient's diseased hearts and patient backgrounds, stands.....»»
Fitbit"s passive heart rhythm monitoring algorithm gets FDA approval
To be clear, Fitbit already allows users to use its trackers to monitor their hearth rhythm, but it requires them to open up the Fitbit app and manually initiate a check -- an extra step that will be made obsolete. Soon enough, Fitbit devices will be.....»»
Team develops a universal AI algorithm for in-depth cleaning of single cell genomic data
Just as asking a single person about their health will provide tailored, personalized information impossible to glean from a large poll, an individual cell's genome or transcriptome can provide much more information about their place in living system.....»»
ESA astronaut performs simulated polar moon landing
Side-lit by the sun, its heavily cratered surface mired in shadow, the south pole of the moon represents a highly challenging lunar landing target. Italian ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori took to an advanced flight simulator to try out a mock polar tou.....»»
Classification of 16 adult sleep patterns based on large-scale sleep analysis
A research group found that the human sleep patterns could be classified into 16 types by combining ACCEL, their original machine learning algorithm for sleep-wake classification, the dimension reduction method and the clustering method. The accelera.....»»
