Credit: Mercedes Bengochea, Maria Ines OviedoIn a study at the Paris Brain Institute, fruit flies demonstrated numerical sensitivity, preferring larger quantities and distinguishing between quantities based on clear ratios. The crucial role of LC11 neurons in this skill was identified, highlighting the cognitive capabilities of insects and their importance in understanding human brain function.In the animal world, you don’t need to learn a numeral system –…

Researchers from Pusan National University in Korea have developed a numerical simulation to predict the continuous ice-breaking capacity of an icebreaker navigating polar seas. The study can be used for the efficient design of icebreakers that can travel the Northern Arctic route, help improve trade, and distribute resources.

Wordle 616 answer for February 25: Wordle has a habit of including a bunch of funny words to confuse the players, and today is no different. And to make it worse, today's word can actually be tricky to guess. Today's puzzle might appear difficult to many, but in reality it is an easy word to find. But there is a secret trick to unlock the clues and get to the final word. If you're struggling to find all the letters or to arrange them in the right order, then don't worry. We will show you how to add another day to your…

Deep learning for tabular data with FT-TransformerPhoto by Nick Hillier on UnsplashIn the previous post about TabTransformer I’ve described how the model works and how it can be applied to your data. This post will build on it, so if you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend starting there and returning to this post afterwards.TabTransformer was shown to outperform traditional multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) and came close to the performance of Gradient Boosted Trees (GBTs) on some datasets. However, there is one…

Few of them, take advantage of the old and previous work while the vast majority go all over again.In this article, we will discover how we can leverage AI algorithms to build a matching engine that can use textual, categorical, and numerical variables as well.For the sake of simplicity, we will consider that a case is described by the following data:Num:…

The predictive power of a feelings integer: United Kingdom. (A) Uncorrected correlations. (B) Fixed-effects regression-corrected correlations. Notes: These figures depict the relationship between a person’s chosen satisfaction integer in year t and a subsequent action in year t+1 by the person. A “cubic” specification here denotes a regression on a cubic in the integer value of satisfaction. A “nonparametric” specification denotes a regression on a…

You can analyse and work with a lot of data using Google Sheets. As more and more content gets added to a spreadsheet, organising the data there becomes of vital importance. You can sort your data in Google Sheets and apply filters to it to reorganise it. You can also reduce the amount of data and obscure some of it by sorting it numerically or alphabetically. Sorting these lists alphabetically or numerically will help you identify patterns, such as inaccurate or duplicate data, as well as add some order. Google Sheets…
