Hybrid framework using Binary iHow for feature selection and iHow for hyperparameter tuning of a Multi-Scale Attention Network reduced forecasting error for wind and solar generation and improved computational scalability for smart-grid management.

Researchers developed a hybrid deep learning-optimization framework for renewable forecasting that pairs a Multi-Scale Attention Network with cognitively inspired metaheuristics. The Binary iHow algorithm selects features and the continuous iHow algorithm tunes hyperparameters, targeting high-dimensional inputs and sensitivity issues in wind and solar time series.

Integrating Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm optimization with Boosted Trees and QSVM classifiers improved discrimination of argillic, phyllic, propylitic and iron oxide alteration zones from ASTER and Sentinel-2 data, raising AUC and achieving strong field validation.

Researchers developed a metaheuristic-optimized machine learning workflow that integrates Boosted Trees and Quadratic Support Vector Machines with the Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm to map hydrothermal alteration from multispectral satellite imagery. Tested in the Shahr-e-Babak district of Iran's Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Belt, the method used ASTER and Sentinel-2 bands to discriminate argillic, phyllic, propylitic and iron oxide zones.

Agentic AI systems demonstrated autonomous, goal-directed behavior with high accuracy in cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, alert generation, coaching, and workflow optimization across emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation pilots.

A March 2026 scoping review in npj Digital Medicine examined agentic AI in healthcare, defined as systems capable of operating autonomously to achieve defined clinical goals. Across five databases, seven studies met criteria, spanning emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation, with features including autonomous operation, goal-directed behavior, action initiation, and multi-agent collaboration.

The AI Scientist pipeline autonomously executed the entire research lifecycle and produced a manuscript that cleared initial peer review at a selective machine learning workshop.

Researchers built The AI Scientist, an agentic system using foundation models to automate conception, coding, experimentation, data analysis, manuscript writing, and peer review. By March 2026 they reported that a manuscript fully generated by the system passed first-round review for a workshop at a top-tier machine learning conference.

Students reported significantly lower anxiety during AIvaluate-mediated performance-based assessments compared to traditional face-to-face assessments, with usability rated in the good range.

Researchers compared traditional face-to-face performance-based assessments with sessions mediated by AIvaluate, an LLM-augmented emotionally intelligent conversational agent, using 35 pre-university students in a counterbalanced within-subjects design measuring emotional state, usability and qualitative perceptions.

AI use was associated with strong perceived gains in educational support through enhanced and personalized learning environments, and in emotional and mental well-being.

On 2026-06-04 a peer-reviewed study reported results from 150 participants surveyed about AI's influence on behavior and well-being. Using a Likert-scale questionnaire analyzed in SPSS version 25, the authors found educational support had the highest mean at 4.89 and emotional and mental well-being had the highest mean difference at 4.9, with all T-tests significant at p < 0.000.
