AgMMU: A Comprehensive Agricultural Multimodal Understanding Benchmark

Neural Information Processing Systems

Unlike prior datasets that rely on crowdsourced prompts, AgMMU is distilled from 116,231 authentic dialogues between everyday growers and USDA-authorized Cooperative Extension experts. Through a three stage pipeline: automated knowledge extraction, QA generation, and human verification, we construct (i) AgMMU, an evaluation set of 746 multiple choice questions (MCQs) and 746 open ended questions (OEQs), and (ii) AgBase, a development corpus of 57,079 multimodal facts covering five high-stakes agricultural topics: insect identification, species identification, disease categorization, symptom description, and management instruction.

Latent Retrieval Augmented Generation of Cross-Domain Protein Binders

Neural Information Processing Systems

Designing protein binders targeting specific sites, which requires to generate realistic and functional interaction patterns, is a fundamental challenge in drug discovery. Current structure-based generative models are limited in generating nterfaces with sufficient rationality and interpretability.

SpaceX IPO debuts in US markets, Musk becomes world's first trillionaire

Al Jazeera

SpaceX IPO debuts in US markets, Musk becomes world's first trillionaire SpaceX has debuted on US markets with a market valuation of more than $2 trillion, minting CEO Elon Musk as the world's first trillionaire. Shares opened on Friday at $150 per share, marking a 11 percent increase from the initial public offering (IPO) price of $135, valuing the company at $1.96 trillion and putting the aerospace company on track to become the sixth-largest company in the United States. The company sold $75bn in shares, immediately valuing it at $1.77 trillion. The IPO was oversubscribed four times higher than was otherwise expected, according to the Reuters news agency. Of the institutional investors allocated, according to Bloomberg News, as much as 70 percent went to what are called long-only investments -- a strategy in which holders buy assets based on the expectation that their value will grow over time -- and sovereign wealth funds, including those from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as well.


MedSG-Bench: A Benchmark for Medical Image Sequences Grounding

Neural Information Processing Systems

Visual grounding is essential for precise perception and reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs), especially in medical imaging domains. While existing medical visual grounding benchmarks primarily focus on single-image scenarios, real-world clinical applications often involve sequential images, where accurate lesion localization across different modalities and temporal tracking of disease progression (e.g., pre-vs.


MedChain: Bridging the Gap Between LLM Agents and Clinical Practice with Interactive Sequence

Neural Information Processing Systems

Clinical decision making (CDM) is a complex, dynamic process crucial to healthcare delivery, yet it remains a significant challenge for artificial intelligence systems. While Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents have been tested on general medical knowledge using licensing exams and knowledge question-answering tasks, their performance in the CDM in real-world scenarios is limited due to the lack of comprehensive benchmark that mirror actual medical practice. To address this gap, we present MedChain, a dataset of 12,163 clinical cases that covers five key stages of clinical workflow.


The battle in rural America against AI data centres

BBC News

Use BBC.com or the new BBC App to listen to BBC podcasts, Radio 4 and the World Service outside the UK. The world's largest data centre (62sq miles) has been approved in Utah, but there is growing opposition towards the project. At twice the size of Manhattan with promises to create thousands of jobs, we look at the bi partisan opposition against it. In this episode, Justin and Anthony discuss the enormous buildings being built across rural America, to house the huge amounts of data that A.I companies work with. Tech bosses say the centres are essential to the growth of Artificial Intelligence.
