Explainable machine learning for breast cancer prediction in resource-constrained settings: A multi-algorithmic framework integrating shap-based transparency with clinical decision support

Breast cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women globally, with disproportionately higher mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where diagnostic delays and limited specialist pathology capacity are widespread. While machine learning (ML) approaches achieve strong predictive performance for cancer classification, algorithmic opacity and absence of interpretability frameworks tailored to resource-constrained environments have impeded clinical adoption. This study bridg…

Predicting Conversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease: A Systematic Review of Deep Learning Models for Early-Stage Disease Classification

Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which early diagnosis-particularly the accurate prediction of conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD-is essential to enable timely and effective therapeutic interventions. Deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated substantial promise in this domain; however, critical challenges persist, including multiclass staging of disease progression, longitudinal data modeling, and effective multimodal data integration. Th…

GENERATIVE AI FOR HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE: CAN SYNTHETIC FLUORESCENCE CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY IMAGES ENHANCE INTRAOPERATIVE DETECTION OF GANGLIONIC BOWEL?

GENERATIVE AI FOR HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE: CAN SYNTHETIC FLUORESCENCE CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY IMAGES ENHANCE INTRAOPERATIVE DETECTION OF GANGLIONIC BOWEL?

Background Accurate identification of ganglionated bowel is essential during laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung Disease (HD), yet intraoperative biopsy interpretation is time-sensitive and operator-dependent. Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) provides rapid imaging of fresh tissue, and deep-learning (DL) has the potential to extract diagnostic patterns from these images automatically. However, DL development is limited by HD rarity and images scarcity. Generative-AI may address this gap by synthesiz…

Physics-informed machine learning for universal ash fusion temperatures prediction: A novel categorical chain differential framework

Accurate prediction of ash fusion temperatures (AFTs) is crucial for ensuring the operational efficiency and safety of solid-fuel boilers and gasifiers. However, conventional machine learning methods typically treat each characteristic temperature as an independent prediction target, resulting in temperature inversions that violate the required physical ordering of AFTs. This study aimed to develop a Categorical Chain Differential framework for the coupled and physically consistent prediction of the four AFTs ac…

AI may be denting computer science graduates’ job prospects, UK data shows

AI may be warping the job prospects for students in the previously high-demand subjects of computer science and economics, according to a detailed look into the careers of recent UK graduates. Data obtained for the 2027 Guardian University Guide published on Saturday shows that coding and software development were the fastest-falling occupations for graduates last year, while employer demand for graduates in well-paid roles in financial categories such as economists and management consultants also declined. Expe…

‘Immature playground boasting’: Mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI’s latest scalp

It was a week that left mathematicians reeling. Hot on the heels of a flurry of cases of artificial intelligence furthering the field, OpenAI declared a major scalp: its latest AI model had cracked a Millennium Prize Problem, a puzzle with a $1m reward that had defied human brains for decades. The achievement bore little resemblance to how mathematical problems normally fall. A near-trillion dollar private company had unleashed 10,000 agents – AI systems that carry out tasks autonomously – on the problem. The bi…

Suno admits it scraped audio from YouTube in a court filing.

We already kinda knew that thanks to a hack of the company’s data in July. And Suno admitted to training its models on publicly available music. But this is the first time it has explicitly copped to ripping audio from YouTube, saying in a court filing: > Suno admits that audio data was obtained from YouTube for use as training data using YT-DLP.

Gavin Newsom imposes strict new rules on AI, social media and chatbots for children

California has adopted what Gavin Newsom described as “nation-leading” legislation that bans addictive social media features for young users, regulates companion chatbots and implements new safeguards around AI. The laws, signed by the Democratic California governor on Thursday, include AB 1709, which bars social media companies from using infinite scroll and autoplay for users under 16. “This is about actually addressing the problem, the scrolling, the algorithms. This is about addressing the substantive issue…
