Credit: World Scientific Have you ever wondered if its possible to learn all there is to know about machine learning and deep learning from a book? Machine Learning--A Journey to Deep Learning, with Exercises and Answers is designed to give the self-taught student a solid foundation in machine learning with step-by-step solutions to the formative exercises and many concrete examples. By going through this text, readers should become able to apply and understand machine learning algorithms as we...

 E-Mail How best to evaluate the performance of a group testing strategy for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which involves pooling samples from multiple individuals in order to conduct a single RT-PCR test on the whole group? To do precisely that, scientists from the CNRS, luniversité Grenoble Alpes, and luniversité Sorbonne Paris Nord1 have developed a model that evaluates the efficiency of such tests. Their theoretical study accounts for both dilution effect and the detection limits of the RT-PCR t...

 E-Mail As millions of Fantasy Premier League players mull over a decision whether to start Bruno Fernandes or Mohamed Salah in their teams this weekend, new research by the University of Limerick in Ireland has unlocked the secrets of the popular online game. A new study by a team of researchers at UL has identified the underlying tactics used by the top-ranked competitors among the seven million players of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), the official - and worlds largest - fantasy football gam...

In the workplace, a new employee quickly learns which coworkers are the most respected -- and therefore hold more power. Big brothers boss around little brothers. In nature, a dominant male chimpanzee fights off would-be intruders. Even fish and octopi interact within...

Perhaps youve just conjured a machine with a rigid, metallic exterior. While robots armored with hard exoskeletons are common, theyre not always ideal. Soft-bodied robots, inspired by fish or other squishy creatures, might better adapt to changing environments and work more safe...

 E-Mail Health Level Seven International (HL7®) and the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) network announced a collaboration to address the sharing and tracking of data in the healthcare and research industries by creating a single common data model. The organizations will integrate HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) and OHDSIs Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model to achieve this goal. HL7 International CEO Dr. Charle...

 E-Mail A huge volume of digital data has been harvested, stored and shared in the last few years - from sources such as social media, geolocation systems and aerial images from drones and satellites - giving researchers many new ways to study information and decrypt our world. In Switzerland, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) has taken an interest in the big data revolution and the possibilities it offers to generate predictive statistics for the benefit of society. Conventional methods s...

In Subverting Privacy-Preserving GANs: Hiding Secrets in Sanitized Images, researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering led by Siddharth Garg, professor of electrical and computer engineering, explored whether private data could still be recovered from images that had been sanitized by such deep-learning discriminators as privacy protecting GANs (PP-GANs).

Researchers in the U.S. and Germany decided to explore which pathways transport debris to the middle of the oceans, causing garbage patches, as well as the relative strengths of different subtropical gyres and how they influence long-term accumulation of debris. In Chaos, they report creating a model of the oceans surface dynamics from historical trajectories of surface buoys. Their model describes the probability of plastic debris being transported from one region to another.
