A number with no recorded reason may end up deciding for a patient

Transparency in artificial intelligence has become a question of provenance. Provenance tells you where a piece of content came from; it does not tell you why what it asserts was decided.

An Embarrassingly Simple Graph Heuristic Reveals Shortcut-Solvable Benchmarks for Sequential Recommendation

Sequential recommendation is a central task in recommender systems, and recent research has increasingly shifted toward generative recommenders that leverage both sequential patterns and semantic item information. However, these methods are often evaluated on a small set of widely used benchmarks. This raises a natural question: do these benchmarks actually require the advanced modeling capabilities

When silence is safer: a review and decision-theoretic framework for LLM abstention in healthcare

Large language models (LLMs) are designed to generate answers to user prompts, which often drives them to respond even when uncertainty is high, information is incomplete, or a refusal would be more appropriate. In healthcare, this tendency can be dangerous: confidently stated but inaccurate medical advice can cause significant harm, making the ability to abstain

Advancing regulatory variant effect prediction with AlphaGenome

🔘 Paper page: nature.com/articles/s41586-025-10014-0 Abstract Deep learning models that predict functional genomic measurements from DNA sequences are powerful tools for deciphering the genetic regulatory code. Existing methods involve a trade-off between input sequence length and prediction resolution, thereby limiting their modality scope and performance1,2,3,4,5. We present AlphaGenome, a unified DNA sequence model, which takes as

External validation is not a bureaucratic detail

Systems for diagnosis, prognosis and imaging have repeatedly been deployed or promoted on the strength of performance that proved fragile under independent testing. A model that performs well in the hospital where it was born has proven only one thing: that it works at home. Consider the most instructive failure in recent clinical AI. The

A medical algorithm must not confuse cost with health

In 2019, a research team led by the physician and economist Ziad Obermeyer reverse-engineered a commercial algorithm already running quietly across the United States health system. The tool, sold by Optum, helped decide which patients — out of a population of roughly 200 million a year — would be flagged for extra medical attention. To

Sequence Feature Extraction for Malware Family Analysis via Graph Neural Network

Malicious software (malware) causes much harm to our devices and life. We are eager to understand the malware behavior and the threat it made. Most of the record files of malware are variable length and text-based files with time stamps, such as event log data and dynamic analysis profiles. Using the time stamps, we can

Between words and characters: A Brief History of Open-Vocabulary Modeling and Tokenization in NLP

In this survey, we connect several lines of work from the pre-neural and neural era, by showing how hybrid approaches of words and characters as well as subword-based approaches based on learned segmentation have been proposed and evaluated. We conclude that there is and likely will never be a silver bullet singular solution for all

Federated Learning: Issues in Medical Application

In this presentation, the current issues to make federated learning flawlessly useful in the real world will be briefly overviewed. They are related to data/system heterogeneity, client management, traceability, and security. Also, we introduce the modularized federated learning framework, we currently develop, to experiment various techniques and protocols to find solutions for aforementioned issues. The
