A 鲍鱼直播-led research team has developed the first real-time, on-site technology capable of detecting and deciphering nanoplastics from all other particles in water, a capacity akin to being able to find a needle in a haystack within milliseconds.

Microplastic pieces are between 1 micrometre and 5 millimetres, roughly equivalent to a grain of rice. Nanoplastics are far tinier - a single nanometre is just 0.000001 millimetres. For comparison, a human hair is approximately 80,000鈥100,000 nanometers wide.

March 16, 2023 | Master of Public Policy Candidate Aftab Ahmed, wrote about the innovation Minister Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne recently launching the second phase of the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy. Ottawa鈥檚 attempts to frame the 鈥榬ules of the game鈥 for its digital economy is commendable, and the U.S. should be observing and emulating this approach. He said "Let me be clear: technology is not the enemy. Novel innovations can undeniably act as positive economic disruptors."

AI can help identify biases in news reporting that we wouldn't otherwise see. Researchers from 鲍鱼直播 got a computer program to generate news coverage of COVID-19 using headlines from CBC articles as prompts. They then compared the simulated news coverage to the actual reporting at the time and found that CBC coverage was less focused on the medical emergency and more positively focused on personalities and geo-politics.

Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way humans do. But researchers from 鲍鱼直播, MIT, and Cornell University have taken a step in this direction. They have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages on its own.

How can we predict suicide risk in students, especially at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected many people鈥檚 mental health? According to researchers from Montreal and France, self-esteem represents an important predictive marker of suicidal risk. The team from 鲍鱼直播, University of Montreal, Inserm, and Universit茅 de Bordeaux is using artificial intelligence to identify factors that accurately predict suicidal behavior in students.

Comparing two neural maps reveals the roles of genes in cognition, perception and feeling

Many psychiatric disorders have genetic causes, but the exact mechanism of how genes influence higher brain function remains a mystery. A new study provides a map linking the genetic signature of functions across the human brain, a tool that may provide new targets for future treatments.
