AI maps how a new antibiotic targets gut bacteria
For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotics can be a double-edged sword. The broad-spectrum drugs often prescribed for gut flare-ups can kill helpful microbes alongside harmful ones, sometimes worsening symptoms over time. When fighting gut inflammation, you don’t always want to bring a sledgehammer to a knife fight. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and McMaster University have identified a new compound that takes a more targeted approach. The molecule, called enterololin, suppresses a […]

How to design LLMs that don’t need prompt engineering
Standard LLMs rely on prompt engineering to fix problems (hallucinations, poor response, missing information) that come from issues in the backend architecture. If the backend (corpus processing) is properly built from the ground up, it is possible to offer a full, comprehensive answer to a meaningful prompt, without the need for multiple prompts, rewording your query, having to go through a chat session, or prompt engineering. In this article, I explain how to do it, focusing on enterprise […]

New prediction model could improve the reliability of fusion power plants
Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to contain a plasma hotter than the sun’s core and push the plasma’s atoms to fuse and release energy. If tokamaks can operate safely and efficiently, the machines could one day provide clean and limitless fusion energy. Today, there are a number of experimental tokamaks in operation around the world, with more underway. Most are small-scale research […]

New software designs eco-friendly clothing that can reassemble into new items
It’s hard to keep up with the ever-changing trends of the fashion world. What’s “in” one minute is often out of style the next season, potentially causing you to re-evaluate your wardrobe. Staying current with the latest fashion styles can be wasteful and expensive, though. Roughly 92 million tons of textile waste are produced annually, including the clothes we discard when they go out of style or no longer fit. But what if we could simply reassemble our clothes […]

The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 5: GMM in Excel
This article introduces the Gaussian Mixture Model as a natural extension of k-Means, by improving how distance is measured through variances and the Mahalanobis distance. Instead of assigning points to clusters with hard boundaries, GMM uses probabilities learned through the Expectation–Maximization algorithm – the general form of Lloyd’s method. Using simple Excel formulas, we implement EM step by step in 1D and 2D, and we visualise how the Gaussian curves or ellipses move during training. The means shift, […]

The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 6: Decision Tree Regressor
During the first days of this Machine Learning Advent Calendar, we explored models based on distances. Today, we switch to a completely different way of learning: Decision Trees. With a simple one-feature dataset, we can see how a tree chooses its first split. The idea is always the same: if humans can guess the split visually, then we can rebuild the logic step by step in Excel. By listing all possible split values and computing the MSE for […]

When AI and Secure Chat Meet, Users Deserve Strong Controls Over How They Interact
Both Google and Apple are cramming new AI features into their phones and other devices, and neither company has offered clear ways to control which apps those AI systems can access. Recent issues around WhatsApp on both Android and iPhone demonstrate how these interactions can go sideways, risking revealing chat conversations beyond what you intend. Users deserve better controls and clearer documentation around what these AI features can access. After diving into how Google Gemini and Apple Intelligence […]
