Medical Xpress / Why eGoT gets better answers: Teaching AI to connect the dots across domains
Ever notice how chatbots often insist on making up an answer instead of admitting defeat? Like a student desperately scribbling nonsense to avoid handing in a blank page, large language models (LLMs) seem to live by the make-it-up-as-you-go ...
Dialog / AI-designed SARS-CoV-2 variants escape prevalent antibodies
While headlines warn that AI could unleash future biological threats, the technology also offers our best defense: a way to anticipate viral evolution and stress-test treatments. Rather than waiting for SARS-CoV-2 to mutate ...
Phys.org / Tropical insects may be running out of room as temperatures rise
New research from Costa Rica's Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) suggests that tropical insects may be vulnerable to rising temperatures. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, examined ...
Medical Xpress / AI can accurately detect left ventricular dysfunction from electrocardiograms
Artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of electrocardiogram (ECG) data can simultaneously detect subtypes of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), according to a study ...
Medical Xpress / Leaky gut might make food allergies worse
A "leaky gut" might increase the severity of food allergies, according to new research conducted in mice and published in The Journal of Immunology. The researchers found that changes to the gut microbiome in mice were linked ...
