Package Name: Pharma Stocks Forecast Recommended Positions: Long Forecast Length: 7 Days (3/16/22 – 3/23/22) I Know First Average: 25.8% The algorithm correctly predicted 10 out of 10 the suggested trades in the Pharma Stocks Forecast Package for this 7 Days forecast. The prediction with the highest return was SPPI, at 85.74%. YMAB and BBIO also performed well for this time horizon with returns of 40.69% and 26.44%, respectively.


Mizzou team uses AI to advance knowledge of Type 1 diabetes

#artificialintelligence

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Missouri, Children's Mercy Kansas City, and Texas Children's Hospital has used a new data-driven approach to learn more about persons with Type 1 diabetes, who account for about 5-10% of all diabetes diagnoses. The team gathered its information through health informatics and applied artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand the disease. In the study, the team analyzed publicly available, real-world data from about 16,000 participants enrolled in the T1D Exchange Clinic Registry. By applying a contrast pattern mining algorithm developed at the MU College of Engineering, the team was able to identify major differences in health outcomes among people living with Type 1 diabetes who do or do not have an immediate family history of the disease. Chi-Ren Shyu, the director of the MU Institute for Data Science and Informatics (MUIDSI), led the AI approach used in the study and said the technique is exploratory.


Automated Transcript Processing - Sia

#artificialintelligence

A simple interface that allows users to upload images or transcripts to analyze, all within the same window. Dealing with thousands of transcripts to process each semester can put a massive load on your Admissions team, not just to process those transcripts, but to do so with no errors while trying to meet deadlines. With an influx of transcript requests to process on time, room for manual/human error increases. Due to the unique nature of every transcript, processing time can be skyrocketing especially with manual efforts where it can take weeks or more, delaying the whole process. With out-of-the-box, intricate Image Recognition Algorithms, Sia can read, detect and extract courses, programs, credits & GPA-related metrics from any transcript instantly, with just images of the transcripts.


AI analyses drug users' trip reports to better understand psychedelics

New Scientist

Artificial intelligence has been used to analyse thousands of written reports of personal experiences with psychoactive drugs to gain a better understanding of their subjective effects and how they work in the brain. Psychedelic drugs such as LSD, ketamine and psilocybin – the active compound in magic mushrooms – are being investigated as treatments for a range of conditions, including depression, addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder. The experiences they induce, which may be important for their therapeutic effects, are highly variable, and can include visual and auditory hallucinations, an altered sense of self and a distorted perception of time. Danilo Bzdok at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, and his colleagues used a pattern-recognition algorithm to scour 6850 accounts of experiences submitted on the website Erowid, involving 27 different drugs. They linked words used in the accounts for each drug, such as "euphoria", "nausea" or "visuals", with any of 40 receptors in the brain that the drug is known to interact with, and mapped drug effects onto areas of the brain where these receptors are most active.


FisheyeHDK: Hyperbolic Deformable Kernel Learning for Ultra-Wide Field-of-View Image Recognition

#artificialintelligence

Conventional convolution neural networks (CNNs) trained on narrow Field-of-View (FoV) images are the state-of-the-art approaches for object recognition tasks. Some methods proposed the adaptation of CNNs to ultra-wide FoV images by learning deformable kernels. However, they are limited by the Euclidean geometry and their accuracy degrades under strong distortions caused by fisheye projections. In this work, we demonstrate that learning the shape of convolution kernels in non-Euclidean spaces is better than existing deformable kernel methods. In particular, we propose a new approach that learns deformable kernel parameters (positions) in hyperbolic space. FisheyeHDK is a hybrid CNN architecture combining hyperbolic and Euclidean convolution layers for positions and features learning. First, we provide an intuition of hyperbolic space for wide FoV images. Using synthetic distortion profiles, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. We select two datasets - Cityscapes and BDD100K 2020 - of perspective images which we transform to fisheye equivalents at different scaling factors (analog to focal lengths). Finally, we provide an experiment on data collected by a real fisheye camera. Validations and experiments show that our approach improves existing deformable kernel methods for CNN adaptation on fisheye images.

Referred also as text recognition, the technology of OCR uses a scanner to convert the physical documents or images containing printed, typed or handwritten text into digitized text data that can be machine-readable. The OCR software converts the scanned images into a black and white version wherein black color represents the characters and white the background. With the help of pattern recognition to recognize the characters or feature recognition to detect the lines and strokes of the characters, characters are identified and converted into ASCII codes that can be easily handled by computer systems. OCR technology has become a business necessity helping businesses to transition towards digitalization by capturing, evaluating, and maintaining sensitive data and holding its promise of monitoring efficient workflow across various sectors.


La veille de la cybersécurité

#artificialintelligence

As it is subjected to machines for identification, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming sophisticated. The greater the number of databases kept for Machine Learning models, the more thorough and nimbler your AI will be in identifying, understanding, and predicting in a variety of circumstances. It is difficult to identify or distinguish items without picture recognition. Because image recognition is critical for computer vision, we must learn more about it. Image recognition, a subset of computer vision, is the art of recognizing and interpreting photographs to identify objects, places, people, or things observable in one's natural surroundings.


How to detect driver drowsiness and send alerts?

#artificialintelligence

Driver drowsiness can be a safety hazard, especially on a long trip. People often do not realize they are too tired to operate a motor vehicle until it is too late. It may become evident when your eyelids start drooping, and you have trouble keeping your head up. You may even realize that driving is so effortful that you cannot hold the steering wheel steady. Driving while drowsy or fatigued is associated with an increased crash risk and adverse effects on driving performance.
