Towards Synergistic Understanding of Language Processing in Biological and Artificial Systems by Hosseini Asl, Eghbal

“…Despite decades of research aimed at uncovering the neural mechanisms underlying activity in this network, a computationally precise account has remained elusive. Over the past five years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have achieved capabilities in the comprehension and production of language that are indistinguishable from those of humans, and their internal representations bear similarity to activity within the language network. …”

From Sample to Answer: Innovations in sample processing and CRISPR-based diagnostics for enhanced clinical translation and field deployment by Arizti Sanz, Jon

“…However, the global diagnostic testing capacity is currently insufficient to effectively respond to emerging infectious disease threats, which has fueled the spread of Lassa, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2, and Zika virus in recent years. Globally, this diagnostic gap is particularly pronounced at the primary care or community level, an essential site for swift and effective response. …”
