AI-assisted note-taking for electronic health records
Physicians currently spend a lot of time writing notes about patients and inserting them into electronic health record (EHR) systems. According to a 2016 study, doctors spend approximately two hours on administrative work for every hour spent with a patient. Thanks to...
A model-free deep reinforcement learning approach to tackle neural control problems
Brian Mitchell and Linda Petzold, two researchers at the University of California, have recently applied model-free deep reinforcement learning to models of neural dynamics, achieving very promising results.
Analyzing book reading behavior on Goodreads to predict Amazon Bestsellers
Researchers at Northwestern University, Microsoft Research India, and the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur have recently developed a model to predict whether a book will become a bestseller on Amazon within 15 days of its publication. Their model, outlined in...
An emotional deep alignment network (DAN) to classify and visualize emotions
Researchers at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology and Warsaw University of Technology have developed a deep alignment network (DAN) model to classify and visualize emotions. Their method was found to outperform state-of-the-art emotion...
Identifying deep network generated images using disparities in color components
Researchers at Shenzhen University have recently devised a method to detect images generated by deep neural networks. Their study, pre-published on arXiv, identified a set of features to capture color image statistics that can detect images generated using current...
Using deep neural networks to hunt malicious TLS certificates
A team of researchers at Cyxtera Technologies has recently proposed a neural network-based method for identifying malicious use of web certificates. Their approach, outlined in a paper published in ACM Digital Library, uses the content of transport layer security...
A new approach for comparative document summarization via classification
Researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) have recently carried out a study exploring extractive summarization in comparative settings. The term 'extractive summarization' defines the task of selecting a few highly representative articles from a large...
An evaluation of the accuracy-efficiency tradeoffs of neural language models
A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada has recently carried out a study exploring accuracy-efficiency tradeoffs of neural language models (NLMs) specifically applied to mobile devices. In their paper, which was pre-published on arXiv, the...
Big Data Analytics to automatically detect events in smart cities
With a growing number of devices connected to the internet and countless people sharing their live experiences online, a huge amount of useful data is being generated every minute. The analysis of this data could improve the dissemination and understanding of...
