Next Print Of Inflation Likely To Be Lower Than 4.7%; No Room For Complacency: RBI Governor

Image
[ad_1] Reserve Bank Governor Shaktikanta Das on Wednesday said inflation has moderated, and the next print is expected to be lower than 4.7 per cent though there is no room for complacency and the war on inflation will continue. Retail inflation fell to an 18-month low of 4.7 per cent in April, mainly due to cooling food prices. “Inflation has moderated (and) the last print is 4.7 per cent. Perhaps the next print could be lower,” he said while addressing CII members here. The governor, however, emphasised that although inflation has moderated, there is no room for complacency.

AI model helps predict strokes with more accuracy, researchers say

Image
[ad_1] Using machine learning methods and available data when patients enter the hospital, researchers have developed a model that predicts strokes with more accuracy than current models. The team from Carnegie Mellon University, Florida International University and Santa Clara University published their work in the Journal of Medical Internet Research earlier this year.  Examining more than 143,000 hospital visits of patients in Florida acute care hospitals from 2012 to 2014, and social determinants of health data – including the conditions people are born into and live in, and what drives those conditions – from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the study's authors sought to develop a stroke-prediction algorithm. Their model incorporated variables routinely collected by health care providers and payers, including basic demographics, the number of chronic conditions and insurance.

[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment Artificial intelligence has moved rapidly from computer science textbooks to the mainstream, generating delights such as the reproduction of celebrity voices and chatbots ready to entertain meandering conversations. But the technology, which refers to machines trained to perform intelligent tasks, also threatens profound disruption: of social norms, entire industries and tech companies’ fortunes. It has great potential to change everything from diagnosing patients to predicting weather patterns — but it could also put millions of people out of work or even surpass human intelligence, some experts say. Last week, the Pew Research Center released a survey in which a majority of Americans — 52 percent — said they feel more concerned than excited about the increased use of artificial intelligence, including worries about personal privacy and human control over the new technologies.

Concerns have particularly focused around parents wanting to access matured child trust fund (CTF) accounts belonging to young adults who lack mental capacity. The Government explored whether there was a case for an alternative process for authorising the release of small payments from a range of cash-based accounts to suitable recipients, and, if so, what such a process could look like. A previous Ministry of Justice consultation on small payments considered this proposal. Under the proposals, payments up to a total sum of £2,500 may have been allowed. The Government said that, through the consultation respo

[ad_1] An important early structure in the embryo, called the neural tube that goes on to form the brain and spine, closes at around four weeks. When this process fails, babies can have something called a neural tube defect, which includes spina bifida where, in the severest form, the spine is exposed and can be damaged.
