Automatic Extraction of Disease Risk Factors from Medical Publications

Automatic Extraction of Disease Risk Factors from Medical Publications

arXiv:2407.07373v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a novel approach to automating the identification of risk factors for diseases from medical literature, leveraging pre-trained models in the bio-medical domain, while tuning them for the specific task. Faced with the challenges of the diverse and unstructured nature of medical articles, our study introduces a multi-step system to first identify relevant articles, then classify them based on the presence of risk factor discussions and, finally, extract specific risk factor information for a disease through a question-answering model. Our contributions include the development of a comprehensive pipeline for the automated extraction of risk…

Using Agents for Amazon Bedrock to interactively generate infrastructure as code | Amazon Web Services

Using Agents for Amazon Bedrock to interactively generate infrastructure as code | Amazon Web Services

In the diverse toolkit available for deploying cloud infrastructure, Agents for Amazon Bedrock offers a practical and innovative option for teams looking to enhance their infrastructure as code (IaC) processes. Agents for Amazon Bedrock automates the prompt engineering and orchestration of user-requested tasks. After being configured, an agent builds the prompt and augments it with your company-specific information to provide responses back to the user in natural language. This solution shows how Amazon Bedrock agents can be configured to accept cloud architecture diagrams, automatically analyze them, and generate Terraform or AWS CloudFormation templates. This solution uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)…

The demise of Cisco and Sun are cautionary tales. Nvidia’s Huang is worried history could repeat itself.

The demise of Cisco and Sun are cautionary tales. Nvidia’s Huang is worried history could repeat itself.

For Jensen Huang, unparalleled success has reportedly come with a healthy helping of anxiety.The Nvidia cofounder has been christened the tech world's Taylor Swift — with a rock-star persona to match the company's unprecedented riches.But The Information reported that behind the scenes, Huang, 61, is concerned with future-proofing Nvidia, telling colleagues he doesn't want it to meet the same fate as former tech titans Cisco and Sun Microsystems.Having launched in 1999 as a maker of GPUs for gaming systems, Nvidia has had its stumbles over the years, The Information reports, including a failed attempt at software for self-driving cars.There's no…

Amazon Prime Day is almost here: Shop the best early deals we could find from Apple, Bose, Samsung and more

Amazon Prime Day 2024 will be here in less than one week, bringing a deluge of discounts and deals on everything from household essentials to clothing to tech. Even though the shopping event is limited to 48 hours, Amazon typically has early Prime Day deals rolling out for weeks in advance.This year is no different: we’re already starting to see early Prime Day deals trickle in that members can take advantage of. Plus, there are also a number of solid tech deals available on Amazon that aren’t explicitly tied to July Prime Day, but are likely to get lumped in…

Generate Signable PDF Forms with React

Generate Signable PDF Forms with React

Why use React to generate PDF Forms? When Generating PDF Forms, React (or HTML) may not be the first thing that comes to mind! It makes more sense when we compare it with website forms: we want to lay out the form fields, add labels, and make it easy to fill out. React is a great tool for this, and using Fileforge's react-print library and API, we can easily convert the form into a PDF. Easy and Dynamic Layout Placing form inputs in React is easy! With a little bit of CSS (or using Tailwind). We can create a dynamic…

ViTime: A Visual Intelligence-Based Foundation Model for Time Series Forecasting

ViTime: A Visual Intelligence-Based Foundation Model for Time Series Forecasting

arXiv:2407.07311v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The success of large pretrained models in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV) has opened new avenues for constructing foundation models for time series forecasting (TSF). Traditional TSF foundation models rely heavily on numerical data fitting. In contrast, the human brain is inherently skilled at processing visual information, prefer predicting future trends by observing visualized sequences. From a biomimetic perspective, utilizing models to directly process numerical sequences might not be the most effective route to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This paper proposes ViTime, a novel Visual Intelligence-based foundation model for TSF. ViTime…

Washington Post Launches AI to Answer Climate Questions but It Won’t Say Whether AI Is Bad for the Climate

Washington Post Launches AI to Answer Climate Questions but It Won’t Say Whether AI Is Bad for the Climate

This week, The Washington Post launched a new AI tool called "Climate Answers," which the venerable newspaper describes as leveraging "artificial intelligence to help our users discover and explore The Post's authoritative climate reporting."Oddly, though, the AI chatbot is strikingly reticent to answer questions about how AI is impacting the environment — even though WaPo has reported deeply and very specifically about AI's aggressive energy consumption and climate impact.The reality is that AI's massive environmental footprint has been one of the biggest climate and energy stories of the past year. As WaPo noted in June, the International Energy Agency estimates that generating one…

Exploring Camera Encoder Designs for Autonomous Driving Perception

Exploring Camera Encoder Designs for Autonomous Driving Perception

arXiv:2407.07276v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The cornerstone of autonomous vehicles (AV) is a solid perception system, where camera encoders play a crucial role. Existing works usually leverage pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) or Vision Transformers (ViTs) designed for general vision tasks, such as image classification, segmentation, and 2D detection. Although those well-known architectures have achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in AV-related tasks, e.g., 3D Object Detection, there remains significant potential for improvement in network design due to the nuanced complexities of industrial-level AV dataset. Moreover, existing public AV benchmarks usually contain insufficient data, which might lead to inaccurate evaluation of those architectures.To…
