Artificial intelligence reveals prostate cancer is not just one disease

Research published in Cell Genomics today has shown that prostate cancer… includes two different subtypes of the disease, also known as evotypes. This discovery was made by using artificial intelligence (AI) to help unlock new discoveries about the evolution of prostate cancer.

Approaching Human-Level Forecasting with Language Models

On average, the system nears the crowd aggregate of competitive forecasters, and in some settings surpasses it. Our work suggests that using LMs to forecast the future could provide accurate predictions at scale and help to inform institutional decision making.

The Era of 1-bit LLMs: All Large Language Models are in 1.58 Bits

Introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer LLM with the same model size and training tokens in terms of both perplexity and end-task performance, while being significantly more cost-effective in terms of latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption.

In a First, Organoid Model for All Three Sections of Embryonic Brain and Spinal Cord

“We try to understand not only the basic biology of human brain development, but also diseases—why we have brain-related diseases, their pathology, and how we can come up with effective strategies to treat them,” said Guo-Li Ming, PhD
