A team of investigators from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Google, and Columbia University have created an artificial intelligence model that can predict which genes are expressed in any type of human cell. The model, called EpiBERT, was inspired by BERT, a deep learning model designed to understand and generate human-like language.

The work appears in Cell Genomics.

Every cell in the body has the same , so the difference between two types of cells is not the genes in the genome, but which genes are turned on, when, and how many. Approximately 20% of the genome codes for determine which genes are turned on, but very little is known about where those codes are in the genome, what their instructions look like, or how mutations affect function in a cell.

To design their improved materials, Serles and Filleter worked with Professor Seunghwa Ryu and PhD student Jinwook Yeo at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, South Korea. This partnership was initiated through U of T’s International Doctoral Clusters program, which supports doctoral training through research engagement with international collaborators.

The KAIST team employed the multi-objective Bayesian optimization machine learning algorithm. This algorithm learned from simulated geometries to predict the best possible geometries for enhancing stress distribution and improving the strength-to-weight ratio of nano-architected designs.

Serles then used a two-photon polymerization 3D printer housed in the Centre for Research and Application in Fluidic Technologies (CRAFT) to create prototypes for experimental validation. This additive manufacturing technology enables 3D printing at the micro and nano scale, creating optimized carbon nanolattices.

BEIJING (Reuters)-Chinese tech company Alibaba on Wednesday released a new version of its Qwen 2.5 artificial intelligence model that it claimed surpassed the highly-acclaimed DeepSeek-V3. The unusual timing of the Qwen 2.5-Max’s release, on the first day of the Lunar New Year when most Chinese people are off work and with their families, points to the pressure Chinese AI startup DeepSeek’s meteoric rise in the past three weeks has placed on not just overseas rivals, but also its domestic competition. “Qwen 2.5-Max outperforms… almost across the board GPT-4o, DeepSeek-V3 and Llama-3.1-405B,” Alibaba’s cloud unit said in an announcement posted on its official WeChat account, referring to OpenAI and Meta’s most advanced open-source AI models.

Robotic companions address the male loneliness epidemic.

The rise of highly realistic humanoid AI companions, like Arya, aims to alleviate male loneliness and promote social interaction, but raises female concerns about their impact on relationships, societal dynamics, and their ability to interest men.

## Technological and Social Impact 1. Arya, a flagship humanoid AI robot, is designed to combat the male loneliness epidemic by serving as a highly realistic girlfriend capable of forming genuine human-like bonds. 2. Priced at $110,000 for a basic model and $175,000 for a full-body version, Arya is marketed as cheaper than a wife in the West, offering companionship and household assistance. ## Economic and Demographic Implications t get pregnant and men wouldn## Customization and Functionality s AI is customizable to learn about users and brands, making her suitable for promoting products at conventions and becoming a rock star attraction. ” +2. The robot can be programmed to cook, clean, and provide companionship on command, fulfilling traditional household roles without incorporating smart or self-aware features to avoid potential rebellion.
