Digital Diabetes Data and Artificial Intelligence: A Time for Humility Not Hubris

Lessons from the RNA World: humility and hubris.

The research community I have lived in for the past 20 years, near the 3′ end ofmRNAs, began as a small enclave of labs and now is a vibrant city full of them. The field has moved from outlines of how 3′ ends were formed to the biochemistry of all the components involved, and now includes mRNA regulation via 3′UTRs, developmental controls,miRNAs, and networks of interactingmRNAs, non-coding RNA...

Hubris-Humility Effect and Domain-Masculine Intelligence Type in Czech Republic

Czech adults completed a self-assessed intelligence measure that yielded a score on domainmasculine intelligence (DMIQ), a composite of mathematical/logical and spatial intelligences. They also completed a sex role inventory. The sex of the participants but not their sex role was related to DMIQ. There was a positive relationship between masculinity and DMIQ, but only for males. Cultural issues...

Artificial Intelligence for Artificial Artificial Intelligence

Crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk have become popular for a wide variety of human intelligence tasks; however, quality control continues to be a significant challenge. Recently, we propose TURKONTROL, a theoretical model based on POMDPs to optimize iterative, crowdsourced workflows. However, they neither describe how to learn the model parameters, nor show its effectiveness...
