LLM-based staged extraction framework localized PVC origin as left versus right from 12-lead ECG images with discrimination comparable to a CNN baseline while providing a traceable stepwise diagnostic process.

Researchers tested whether large language models could interpret 12-lead ECG images to distinguish left- versus right-sided origins of premature ventricular contractions in 157 patients who had undergone successful catheter ablation. By August 2026 they reported a staged extraction framework that produced a traceable stepwise process and a continuous score whose discrimination was numerically similar to a CNN baseline.

Researchers developed a nomogram using AI-derived CCTA measures of pericoronary adipose tissue and plaque plus HbA1c to predict progression of non-obstructive coronary lesions in T2DM patients.

Between 2019 and 2024, researchers retrospectively followed 114 patients with type 2 diabetes and non-obstructive coronary artery disease who had baseline CCTA. Using AI-derived measurements of pericoronary adipose tissue and coronary plaques combined with clinical labs, they built a logistic regression nomogram to distinguish 48 patients who later had infarction, revascularization, or stenosis 265 50% from 66 who did not.

Federated learning models trained on distributed patient data improved predictive performance over single-site local models across AUC, F1, sensitivity, PPV and PRAUC.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 studies covering 247 sites and 158,435 patient samples evaluated federated learning models, mostly using FedAvg, against local and centralized models on diagnostic performance metrics.

Using Cox regression, SHAP analysis and 100-algorithm validation, researchers selected five autophagy-related core genes and built a prognostic model for lung adenocarcinoma that showed AUC > 0.9 in independent cohort GSE68465.

Researchers combined three lung adenocarcinoma GEO transcriptome datasets with a human autophagy gene set, identified 276 shared differentially expressed autophagy genes, and used protein interaction networks plus machine learning to select five core prognostic genes ENG, CDH1, KLF4, IL6 and MMP9, validating a model based on them in independent cohort GSE68465 with AUC > 0.9 by August 2026.

AI datacenter boom is driving a surge in US gas-fired power development that risks locking in decades of pollution and raising power-sector emissions.

In the first half of 2026 the US overtook China in new gas-fired power construction, driven largely by proposals for AI datacenters. According to Global Energy Monitor, US projects under construction jumped 76%, putting the US at twice China's level, with total gas capacity in development rising to 378GW.

AI models pilfer and profit from News Corp journalism, flooding users with low-quality AI slop without compensation.

News Corp reported full-year results on Thursday showing a small decline in Australian digital subscriptions to 1,162,000, alongside mixed advertising and costs for the new California Post. Chief executive Robert Thomson used the results to criticize AI models for using the company's journalism without adequate payment.

AI-powered search engines and models are delivering answers directly to users through zero-click searches, reducing traffic to news sites and disrupting publisher revenue models in Australia.

On 24 February 2026, Nine Entertainment CEO Matt Stanton used the company's half-year results to urge Prime Minister Albanese to prioritize the news bargaining incentive, a policy that would impose a charge on qualifying tech firms including Meta, Google and ByteDance unless they strike payment deals with local publishers. The push comes as many deals under the original voluntary code have expired and as AI-driven zero-click searches grow.
