Last updated: November 15th, 2022 at 06:58 UTC+01:00 With Android 13, Google began working on a feature called ‘Predictive Back Gesture,’ which gives a preview of the destination or other result of the back gesture before fully completing it. Finally, Google has revealed that Predictive Back Gesture will be a default feature in Android 14 and will also work within applications. Going back to the previous screen using the back gesture on Android devices is excellent. All you need to do is perform a swipe gesture on the…

Augmenting Imbalanced Healthcare Readmission Data with GANsImage by Pixabay on PexelsGenerative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of deep learning models developed by Ian Goodfellow and colleagues in 2014. At a high level, GANs are made up of two competing neural networks that make up a zero-sum game. This means that the gains of one neural network agent corresponds to a loss for the other agent. Specifically, the GAN algorithm trains a discriminator to distinguish between real and synthetic data while…

Clarifying goals for informed decisionsOne of the biggest sources of confusion in Data Science, and specifically between Data Science teams and business leaders, is the distinction between explanatory and predictive models. There is often a lack of definition around whether the goal of a project is to accurately forecast something, as in a predictive model. Or whether the goal is to show why something has happened, as in an explanatory model.Photo by Pablo García Saldaña on UnsplashThe lack of definition arises due to…

Data Science Problem Types | Required Skill Sets for Prescriptive Data Science | Key Components of Prescriptive Data SciencePhoto by Lukas Blazek on UnsplashThe focus of data science and machine learning has been mainly on predictive modeling and data engineering. As companies become more mature and sophisticated with data science and machine learning, predictive data science becomes more of table stakes. Prescriptive data science is gaining more importance in setting the leaders in the data science and artificial…

We’re constantly being asked how we feel about nearly every aspect of our lives. Pop-up questionnaires collect data about common experiences like doctor’s visits, restaurant meals or trips to the cell phone store. And they can even pry into bigger life questions. How do you feel on a scale of, say, 1 to 10 about a job, a spouse, your health. Despite the ubiquitous presence of “like” scales everywhere we look, such ratings perplex scientists because they are wholly subjective and so thought to be of unclear relevance and…

In a new study conducted by University of Kansas researchers, youth reported running away to have a say in their own lives, to connect with family and to escape untenable placement environments. And sometimes, they ran simply out of anger or impulse. Most striking among these messages from the study, KU researchers said, was the need…

3D Data for Health and MedicineWe use 3D body scans data to improve model prediction of metabolic diseaseSummary TL:DR3D data is high dimensional and can be used to build powerful models.Using 3D data (3D biomarkers) in health models helped improved predictions of metabolic syndrome status.We demonstrate another published example of using integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification index (NRI) to evaluate and compare two models and new biomarkers.Read the articleThree dimensional (3D) scanning…
