Astronomy is all about data. The universe is getting bigger and so too is the amount of information we have about it. But some of the biggest challenges of the next generation of astronomy lie in just how we're going to study all the data we're collecting. To take on these challenges, astronomers are turning to machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to build new tools to rapidly search for the next big breakthroughs. Here are four ways AI is helping astronomers.

Researchers from Germany and Chile have developed a new machine learning framework capable of evaluating whether a person is intoxicated, based on near infra-red images of their eyes. The research is aimed at the development of'fitness for duty' real-time systems capable of assessing the readiness of an individual to perform critical tasks such as driving, or operating machinery, and uses a novel and scratch-trained object detector that can individuate a subject's eye components from a single image and evaluate them against a database that includes intoxicated and non-intoxicated eye images. You Only Look Once (YOLO) individuates the subject's eyes, after which the framework separates the instances and performs segmentation to break the eye image down into its constituent parts. Initially the system captures and individuates an image of each eye with the You-Only-Look-Once (YOLO) object detection framework. After this, two optimized networks are used to break down the eye images into semantic regions – the Criss Cross attention network (CCNet) released in 2020 by the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the DenseNet10 segmentation algorithm, also developed by several of the new paper's researchers at Chile.

Most likely it's a clumsy attempt to throw disinformation shade at rivals.) Returning to the regulation point, an EU proposal -- the Digital Services Act -- is set to introduce some transparency requirements on large digital platforms, as part of a wider package of accountability measures. And asked about this Geurkink described the DSA as "a promising avenue for greater transparency". But she suggested the legislation needs to go further to tackle recommender systems like the YouTube AI. "I think that transparency around recommender systems specifically and also people having control over the input of their own data and then the output of recommendations is really important -- and is a place where the DSA is currently a bit sparse, so I think that's where we really need to dig in," she told us. One idea she voiced support for is having a "data access framework" baked into the law -- to enable vetted researchers to get more of the information they need to study powerful AI technologies -- i.e. rather than the law trying to come up with "a laundry list of all of the different pieces of transparency and information that should be applicable", as she put it.

Your body is a data goldmine. From the way you look to how you think and feel, firms working in the burgeoning biometrics industry are developing new and alarming ways to track everything we do. And, in many cases, you may not even know you're being tracked. But the biometrics business is on a collision course with Europe's leading data protection experts. Both the European Data Protection Supervisor, which acts as the EU's independent data body, and the European Data Protection Board, which helps countries implement GDPR consistently, have called for a total ban on using AI to automatically recognise people.

The success of neural network embeddings has entailed a renewed interest in using knowledge graphs for a wide variety of machine learning and information retrieval tasks. In particular, recent recommendation methods based on graph embeddings have shown state-of-the-art performance. In general, these methods encode latent rating patterns and content features. Differently from previous work, in this paper, we propose to exploit embeddings extracted from graphs that combine information from ratings and aspect-based opinions expressed in textual reviews. We then adapt and evaluate state-of-the-art graph embedding techniques over graphs generated from Amazon and Yelp reviews on six domains, outperforming baseline recommenders. Additionally, our method has the advantage of providing explanations that involve the coverage of aspect-based opinions given by users about recommended items.

In this paper, we hypothesize that the effects of the degree of typicality in natural semantic categories can be generated based on the structure of artificial categories learned with deep learning models. Motivated by the human approach to representing natural semantic categories and based on the Prototype Theory foundations, we propose a novel Computational Prototype Model (CPM) to represent the internal structure of semantic categories. Unlike other prototype learning approaches, our mathematical framework proposes a first approach to provide deep neural networks with the ability to model abstract semantic concepts such as category central semantic meaning, typicality degree of an object's image, and family resemblance relationship. We proposed several methodologies based on the typicality's concept to evaluate our CPM-model in image semantic processing tasks such as image classification, a global semantic description, and transfer learning. Our experiments on different image datasets, such as ImageNet and Coco, showed that our approach might be an admissible proposition in the effort to endow machines with greater power of abstraction for the semantic representation of objects' categories.

Furthermore, we also provide examples of the applicability of recommendations utilizing aspect opinions as explanations in a visualization dashboard, which allows obtaining information about the most and least liked aspects of similar users obtained from the embeddings of an input graph.

Electronic health records (EHRs), digital collections of patient healthcare events and observations, are ubiquitous in medicine and critical to healthcare delivery, operations, and research. Despite this central role, EHRs are notoriously difficult to process automatically. Well over half of the information stored within EHRs is in the form of unstructured text (e.g. provider notes, operation reports) and remains largely untapped for secondary use. Recently, however, newer neural network and deep learning approaches to Natural Language Processing (NLP) have made considerable advances, outperforming traditional statistical and rule-based systems on a variety of tasks. In this survey paper, we summarize current neural NLP methods for EHR applications. We focus on a broad scope of tasks, namely, classification and prediction, word embeddings, extraction, generation, and other topics such as question answering, phenotyping, knowledge graphs, medical dialogue, multilinguality, interpretability, etc.
