Machine-learning algorithms can monitor online social media conversations as they evolve, which could lead to an automated way to identify online trolling.

Research teams at the Karolinska Institutet and Tampere University have developed a method based on artificial intelligence (AI) for the diagnosis and grading of prostate cancer.

Using a computer algorithm, a team of researchers has identified a promising new treatment for neuroblastoma, a form of cancer that affects specialized nerve cells.

A machine learning method has identified highly elusive amino acid sequences involved in protein interactions.

Using automated computer methods, a team have mined a large online discussion forum for e-cigarette users and discovered that this group had reported numerous adverse health effects over the last seven years.

Researchers have observed, using mouse models and mathematical modeling, that as aspirin dosage is increased, the rate of cell death increases while division rates of cells reduces, meaning tumor cells were more likely to die and not proliferate.

In a recent study by Lerchenmueller et al., male scientists were found to frame their research findings more positively than female scientists and subsequently received higher rates of citations.

In a new study researchers report the discovery of evidence indicating that the brain knows how to integrate natural and artificial vision while maintaining important processing information. The results have implications for the restoration of sight in macular degeneration (AMD) patients implanted with retinal prosthetic devices.

Researchers trying to improve the tests used to assess Parkinson's disease have settled on fuzzy recurrence plots, which can translate short-time series data points into measurable images, as a promising technology.

Roman emperors faced a high risk of violent death in their first year of rule, but the risk slowly declined over the next seven years. When statistically modeled, the length of time from the beginning of their reign until their death followed a set pattern, similar to that seen in reliability engineering.
