The Quantum Memory Matrix: A Unified Framework for the Black Hole Information Paradox.

We present the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) hypothesis, which addresses the longstanding Black Hole Information Paradox rooted in the apparent conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR). This paradox raises the question of how information is preserved during black hole formation and evaporation, given that Hawking radiation appears to result in information loss, challenging unitarity in quantum mechanics. The QMM hypothesis proposes that space-time itself acts as a dynamic quantum information reservoir, with quantum imprints encoding information about quantum states and interactions directly into the fabric of space-time at the Planck scale.

Docking-Informed Machine Learning for Kinome-wide Affinity Prediction.

Kinase inhibitors are an important class of anticancer drugs, with 80 inhibitors clinically approved and >100 in active clinical testing. Most bind competitively in the ATP-binding site, leading to challenges with selectivity for a specific kinase, resulting in risks for toxicity and general off-target effects. Assessing the binding of an inhibitor for the entire kinome is experimentally possible but expensive.

Business intelligence systems for population health management: a scoping review.

Objective: Population health management (PHM) is a promising data-driven approach to address the challenges faced by health care systems worldwide. Although Business Intelligence (BI) systems are known to be relevant for a data-driven approach, the usage for PHM is limited in its elaboration. To explore available scientific publications, a systematic review guided by PRISMA was conducted of mature BI initiatives to investigate their decision contexts and BI capabilities.

Multimodal machine learning for language and speech markers identification in mental health.

Background: There are numerous papers focusing on diagnosing mental health disorders using unimodal and multimodal approaches. However, our literature review shows that the majority of these studies either use unimodal approaches to diagnose a variety of mental disorders or employ multimodal approaches to diagnose a single mental disorder instead. In this research we combine these approaches by first identifying and compiling an extensive list of mental health disorder markers for a wide range of mental illnesses which have been used for both unimodal and multimodal methods, which is subsequently used for determining whether the multimodal approach can outperform the unimodal approaches.

Catalyzing IVF outcome prediction: exploring advanced machine learning paradigms for enhanced success rate prognostication.

This study addresses the research problem of enhancing Fertilization (IVF) success rate prediction by integrating advanced machine learning paradigms with gynecological expertise.

Building reliable and robust quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models is a challenging task. First, the experimental data needs to be obtained, analyzed and curated. Second, the number of available methods is continuously growing and evaluating different algorithms and methodologies can be arduous.

External validation of SCORE2-Diabetes in the Netherlands across various Socioeconomic levels in native-Dutch and non-Dutch populations.

Aims: Adults with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of cardiovascular events (CVE), the world's leading cause of mortality. The SCORE2-Diabetes model is a tool designed to estimate the 10-year risk of CVE specifically in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, the performance of such models may vary across different demographic and socioeconomic groups, necessitating validation and assessment in diverse populations.

Machine learning-driven discovery of high-performance MEMS disk resonator gyroscope structural topologies.

The design of the microelectromechanical system (MEMS) disc resonator gyroscope (DRG) structural topology is crucial for its physical properties and performance. However, creating novel high-performance MEMS DRGs has long been viewed as a formidable challenge owing to their enormous design space, the complexity of microscale physical effects, and time-consuming finite element analysis (FEA). Here, we introduce a new machine learning-driven approach to discover high-performance DRG topologies.

Embryonic and larval zebrafish models for the discovery of new bioactive compounds against tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a world health challenge the treatment of which is impacted by the rise of drug-resistant strains. Thus, there is an urgent need for new antitubercular compounds and novel approaches to improve current TB therapy. The zebrafish animal model has become increasingly relevant as an experimental system.

Limited generalizability of multivariate brain-based dimensions of child psychiatric symptoms.

Multivariate machine learning techniques are a promising set of tools for identifying complex brain-behavior associations. However, failure to replicate results from these methods across samples has hampered their clinical relevance. Here we aimed to delineate dimensions of brain functional connectivity that are associated with child psychiatric symptoms in two large and independent cohorts: the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study and the Generation R Study (total n = 6935).

Reducing Manual Annotation Costs for Cell Segmentation by Upgrading Low-Quality Annotations.

Deep-learning algorithms for cell segmentation typically require large data sets with high-quality annotations to be trained with. However, the annotation cost for obtaining such sets may prove to be prohibitively expensive. Our work aims to reduce the time necessary to create high-quality annotations of cell images by using a relatively small well-annotated data set for training a convolutional neural network to upgrade lower-quality annotations, produced at lower annotation costs.
