A six-protein plasma signature tested with SVM distinguished fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis on an independent test set with 71.4% accuracy, offering a non-invasive diagnostic aid.

Between July 2018 and June 2022, investigators enrolled 119 subjects across healthy controls, non-fibrotic HP, fibrotic HP, and IPF cohorts and performed plasma proteomic profiling with WGCNA. They identified 813 proteins, noted enrichment of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and pyruvate metabolism in FHP, and distilled nine differential proteins to a six-protein signature that was used to train seven machine learning classifiers.

Listeners detected ElevenLabs-cloned speech more accurately when audio was transmitted through narrowband GSM (AMR-NB) at 63.7%, compared to other telecom conditions.

By June 2026, researchers tested how telecom transmission affects human detection of cloned speech. They created natural and ElevenLabs-synthesized utterances from nine speakers, processed them through simulated GSM, VoLTE, and VoIP codecs, and asked 95 participants to classify them as human or synthetic.

Preservice teachers reported high acceptance of ChatGPT as a tool that can enhance metacognitive self-regulated learning and help address teaching and learning challenges.

By April 2024, researchers at UTM University's School of Education had tested ChatGPT acceptance for metacognitive self-regulated learning with 300 preservice teachers. Participants completed a scenario-based activity and a Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire, followed by reflections and interviews, with responses analyzed via structural equation modelling.

Models that were near-perfect during internal cross-validation diverged significantly on the separate external cohort, showing reduced out-of-distribution generalization for cross-species histological classification.

On 2026-08-16, a peer-reviewed study reported a comparative evaluation of nine deep learning encoders for H&E histology classification. Models were trained on 4307 male rat tissue images and tested on a separate 600-image mixed human-and-animal cohort using frozen features and a linear probe, measuring accuracy, F1, kappa, ROC-AUC and inference time.

ML, DL and RL-based cybersecurity solutions are susceptible to adversarial attacks, and ChatGPT-like tools can be manipulated to threaten data integrity, confidentiality and availability.

Published January 2024, this IEEE Access survey reviews how machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning are applied to cybersecurity tasks such as malware detection, intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment, including evaluation of ChatGPT-like tools on both defensive and offensive sides.

The LLM-assisted workflow did not consistently outperform ICD-based retrieval, with no statistically significant AUC difference in Cohort 1 and lower AUC than ICD codes for heart failure in that cohort.

A multisite retrospective validation study in a US tertiary health system compared four automated EMR retrieval methods to manual chart adjudication for ischaemic stroke/TIA, MI, HF exacerbation/hospitalisation and composite MACE in 2258 patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and 1426 patients who underwent TAVR. The zero-shot LLM workflow achieved the highest AUCs for most outcomes, while ICD-based retrieval remained competitive.
