- Machine learning can work well, but it often struggles to make accurate predictions on new data, which is called out-of-sample generalizability.
- To solve this problem, researchers are using a method called Federated ML that allows computers to share information about how well they're learning without actually sharing the data itself.
- In a big study with 71 locations around the world, scientists created a model to help detect brain tumors more accurately, showing a significant improvement compared to older methods and hoping to help with rare illnesses and data sharing in healthcare.
Uncommon presentation of an intradiploic orbital epidermoid tumor: case report.
Oral Maxillofac Surg
September 2011
Purpose: Epidermoid tumors are uncommon entities that usually occur intradurally in the cerebellopontine angle and parasellar cisterns. The few cases that have been reported to occur in the intraorbital location involve patients in the first four decades of life. To our knowledge, an elderly person presenting with an orbital epidermoid tumor has never been reported.

J Microbiol Methods
December 2006
Certain methanogens have been shown to grow on a Mars soil simulant following a washing procedure using a carbonate buffer. In experiments where liquid fractions from the soil simulant and water mixtures were used in place of the buffer, two out of three of the species demonstrated significantly greater methane production compared to the buffer.
