The Department of Veterans Affairs has been using some artificial intelligence capabilities to bolster its suicide prevention efforts, but VA says these tools augment the work of clinicians and are not designed to replace any human-led interventions. Lawmakers, researchers and advocates say that's how these technologies should always be used. This article - the second in a series of pieces about VA's adoption of AI tools to help prevent

Meta has implemented a new machine learning framework for Instagram that applies diversity algorithms to reduce repetitive content while maintaining user engagement. The diversity-aware ranking system addresses overexposure to similar content creators and product types by introducing multiplicative penalties to existing engagement models. The framework tackles two primary problems: excessive messages from the same content creator and overemphasis on single-product surfaces like Stories while neglecting Feed or Reels content.

Researchers have identified a key protein that helps tick-borne encephalitis virus enter the brain. In rare cases an infection can lead to serious neurological symptoms, but little was known about how the virus interacts with human cells. Now, a team show that a protein found on the outside of cells plays an important role in infection. In mouse experiments, they show that blocking the ability of the virus to bind to this protein protected the mice from disease.

Carnegie Mellon University is tapping its strengths in computer and data science to reframe one of its humanities doctoral programs in hopes of preparing graduates to navigate an increasingly tough job market. Starting next fall, the English department at the Pittsburgh-based institution will offer a Ph.D. in computational cultural studies, which it says is the first program of its kind in the country.

Named WorkHorse, the solution is described as a tool that easily integrates with an organization's SIEM system and within minutes it begins transforming raw alerts into fully contextualized information that is ready for Tier 2 analysts. The goal is to cut alert fatigue to zero and reduce case triage time from hours to seconds.

The Startup Battlefield 200 global pitch competition at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, taking place October 27-29 at San Francisco's Moscone West, is just weeks away, and the stakes have never been higher. Twenty founders will pitch their companies on the Disrupt Stage, but only one will walk away with the $100,000 equity-free prize and the coveted Disrupt Cup.

Although the Department of Veterans Affairs has adopted some artificial intelligence capabilities to better identify veterans at risk of self-harm, VA officials said these technologies represent only one part of their suicide prevention strategy and are not designed to replace human interventions. VA's 2024 AI use case inventory included 227 examples of the emerging capabilities being used or implemented across its operations, with these applications ranging from AI-enabled devices to an on-network generative chatbot for department personnel.

To access the meteorological archives of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) - which contain records from when the DRC became independent in 1960 collected from 37 weather stations across the country - Muheki had to fly from Kinshasa to Kisangani in the country's north, travel along the Congo River by boat and then take an unpaved road on a motorcycle to reach the Yangambi branch of the DRC's National Institute for Agronomic Research (INERA).

The Slack pings, welcome emails, and virtual coffee chats were a blur, but the moment that kept me awake came later that night: Did we actually capture every signature we need? That nagging question set me on a year‑long quest to remove guesswork- and 3 a.m. logins- from our onboarding compliance checklist. What follows is the distilled playbook I now trust to prove every legal box is ticked before a new starter even spots the Wi‑Fi password on their laptop sleeve.

The ever-evolving nature of IT operations and the growing complexity of modern technology environments have clearly spelled the need for AIOps tools. AIOps, or Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations, uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies to enhance and automate various IT operation tasks. AIOps platforms are designed to analyze and interpret data generated from various IT operations tools and platforms, providing service assurance and insights, automating routine tasks, and helping organizations detect and resolve issues more efficiently.

The marketing material shows natural light flooding through floor-to-ceiling windows. But in real life, neighbors can easily see inside the apartment; the view outside includes a parking lot; and the oversized windows mean costlier energy bills. ViewScore.io , a new software tool created by researchers in the Environmental Systems Lab and Housing Innovation Lab in the College of Architecture, Art and Planning (AAP), can simulate and score such scenarios, helping building designers optimize window views along with energy efficiency. The technology could also be used to inform green building standards, and to help consumers decide which home to rent or hotel room to reserve.

The climate crisis will continue making lightning-sparked wildfires more frequent for decades to come, which could produce cascading effects and worsen public safety and public health, experts and new research suggest. Lightning-caused fires tend to burn in more remote areas and therefore usually grow into larger fires than human-caused fires. That means a trend toward more lightning-caused fires is also probably making wildfires more deadly by producing more wildfire smoke and helping to drive a surge in air quality issues from coast to coast,

SaaS personalization tools are software powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). The top AI personalization tools allow you to create highly personalized content and suggestions for users based on past behavior and actions. Right now, this type of software leverages the power of AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to help you form powerful AI workflows, gifting them with a form of intelligence that is truly spectacular.

The security of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) has become paramount due to the interconnected nature of modern vehicles, leading to vast and vulnerable attack surfaces.

Vamvakas et al. (2008) presented a complete OCR methodology for recognizing historical documents, effective for both machine-printed and handwritten formats through adaptable processes.

Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B delivers SOTA advancements in agentic coding and code tasks, matching or outperforming Claude Sonnet-4, GPT-4.1, and Kimi K2. The 480B model achieves a 61.8% on Aider Polygot and supports a 256K token context, extendable to 1M tokens.

Attackers can intentionally feed misleading data into a system, causing AI to learn incorrect patterns. This can lead to dangerous consequences for operations and public safety.

Join Coursedog's Platform team to architect and deliver the AI infrastructure powering Intelligent Academic Operations. You'll design orchestration pipelines and AI integration frameworks.

Visualizing complex Keras models can significantly enhance understanding of model architecture, making it easier to track changes and debug code.

To evaluate the generation quality of singing vocals, we utilize the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) to gauge the naturalness of the synthesized vocal.
