New framework improves performance of deep neural networks

Researchers have developed a new framework for building deep neural networks via grammar-guided network generators. In experimental testing, the new networks -- called AOGNets -- have outperformed existing state-of-the-art frameworks, including the widely used ResNet and DenseNet systems, in visual recognition tasks. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190521124525.htm

After GWAS studies, how to narrow the search for genes?

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often turn up a long list of genes that MIGHT help cause the trait of interest. Many algorithms can help scientists prioritize which genes to pursue further, but which one to choose? Borrowing from machine learning, and singling out one chromosome at a time, a new tool called Benchmarker helps scientists evaluate existing algorithms to guide their search for relevant genes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190521124029.htm

Formation of the moon brought water to Earth

Earth has a large amount of water and a relatively large moon, which stabilizes Earth's axis. Both are essential for life to develop on our planet. Scientists have now been able to show that water came to Earth with the formation of the moon. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190521101505.htm

Nokia CEO admits to delays in rolling out 5G

Asked about the regulatory problems facing Chinese telecoms rival Huawei, he said: "Perhaps there is long term opportunity but more than that, it's hard to say at this point." from telecom-equipment - Telecom News | Latest Telecom Industry News, Information and Update: ET Telecom : ETTelecom.com https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/nokia-ceo-admits-to-delays-in-rolling-out-5g/69431623?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=ETRSS

Cancer: Using 3D to test personalized treatments in five days

Researchers have devised a cell co-culture platform that reproduces a patient's tumor structure in 3D. The scientists can use it to test several drugs or their combinations at different stages of the tumor's development. They now need only five days to identify which treatment will be most effective for a particular case, and the combination can then be translated for clinical practice. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190521102916.htm
