Data News Summary: Top headlines you need to know today

In the ever-evolving world of technology, machine learning continues to make significant strides, with researchers from MIT and Brown University leading the charge. They have developed an interactive tool called VDS, designed to generate machine learning models, making data science more accessible to those with limited experience.

The VDS tool has been tested across various benchmarks, including image recognition, object detection, and translation. But its capabilities extend beyond these traditional domains. With user-provided datasets, the system can predict a wide range of outcomes, such as sales revenue or disease occurrence, offering a powerful tool for various industries.

One of the most intriguing applications of VDS is in the medical field. The system can identify individuals with up to 95% accuracy, potentially aiding doctors in monitoring patients without the need for constant machine connection.

Meanwhile, the MLPerf benchmark suite, created by researchers and engineers, is measuring the performance of machine learning models, hardware, and cloud platforms. This suite is instrumental in evaluating the efficiency and efficacy of various machine learning systems.

In another groundbreaking development, researchers have created a neural network capable of building 3D simulations of the structural formation of the universe in milliseconds, a process that usually takes days. The network was trained on 8,000 traditional universe simulations to teach it how particles interact.

Elsewhere, the Pentagon has developed a system that can analyse a person's heartbeat and identify them by their heartbeat signature from up to 200 meters away. This system uses lasers to detect surface movement caused by a heartbeat and can detect heartbeats through regular clothing, but not thick clothing.

Lastly, researchers from the Southwest Research Institute and several US universities, including Elaine Adams, have developed an algorithm to determine the probability that stars have planets orbiting them. Using a catalog of thousands of stars, their chemical compositions, and orbiting planets, the algorithm identified 360 stars with a 90% probability of hosting a planet.

These advancements in machine learning showcase the immense potential of technology to revolutionise various sectors, from healthcare to astronomy, and pave the way for a future where AI and data science are more accessible and impactful than ever before.
