Improved forecasting of blood glucose could aid in the management of diabetes. Recently proposed neural network architectures that use stacked fully connected layers with residual backcasting have achieved state-of-the-art performance on benchmark time-series forecasting tasks. Though promising, previous work ignores opportunities for additional supervision, and the use of fully connected layers fails to account for the temporal nature of the signal. Here, we propose a new architecture that builds on previous work by learning to forecast gradually in stages or blocks. Our updates include replacing the fully connected block structure with a recurrent neural network and adding additional losses to provide auxiliary supervision. In addition, we leverage important context in the form of additional input signals. Applied to the task of glucose forecasting, we find that each of these modifications offers an improvement in performance. On the task of predicting blood glucose values 30 minutes into the future, our proposed approach achieves a mean rMSE of 18.2 mg/dL, versus 21.2 mg/dL achieved by the baseline. These improvements get us closer to predictions that are reliable enough to be used in CGMs or insulin pumps to manage diabetes.

"Artificial intelligence-driven Chatbot for Astronauts by
 taking advantage of Natural Language processing with the support of healthcare professionals/ doctors 
These Chatbots created with the expert advice of doctors can learn and evolve over a period of time and answer  medical questions from a pre-trained Database which can be updated periodically
 Astronauts would be able to list down their symptoms and the Chatbots could give medical support by suggesting some medicines or other remedies which helps in diagnosis and treatment of simple medical conditions without much delay

"Sensors are multiplying on machines, networks and living things. Reasoning and extracting knowledge from this huge amount of data is among nowadays challenges. In data- based diagnostic applications, large amounts of data are often available but a key issue is that data remain unlabelled because labelling would require too much time and imply prohibitive costs. The different situations, e.g. normal or faulty, must hence be learned from the data. Clustering methods, also qualified as unsupervised classification methods, can then be used to create groups of samples according to some similarity criterion. The different groups can supposedly be associated to different situations.
Numerous algorithms have been developed in recent years for clustering numeric data but these methods are not applicable to qualitative (categorical) data. However, in many application domains, qualitative features are key to properly describe the different situations. This paper presents DyClee-C, an extension of the numeric feature based DyClee algorithm to qualitative data. DyClee-C is applied to two data sets: a soybean data set to diagnose the disease soybean plants and a breast cancer data set to assess the current diagnosis in terms of recurrence events and prognose possible relapse."

DyClee-C: a clustering algorithm for qualitative data based diagnosis

Abstract: Ethics is an ancient matter for human kind, from the origin of civilizations ethics have been related with the most relevant human concerns and determined cultures. Ethics was initially related to religion, politics and philosophy to then be fragmented into specific communities of practice. The undergoing digital revolution enabled by Artificial Intelligence and Data are bringing ethical wicked problems in the social application of these technologies. However, a broader perspective is also necessary. We now face global and highly dynamics challenges that affect groups and individuals, specially those that are most vulnerable. Individual-oriented ethics are not longer sufficient, the new ethic has to consider the several scales in which the current complex society is organized and the interconnections between different systems. Ethics should also give a response to the systemic changes in behavior produced by external factors and threats. Furthermore, AI and digital technologies are global and make us more connected and smart but also more homogeneous, predictable and ultimately controllable. Ethic must take a stand to preserve and keep promoting individuals rights and uniqueness and cultural heterogeneity. Digital technologies have to the foundation for new models of society and help ensure ethical individual and collective values. For these reasons science has to be at the core of the new ethic as it helps understand the complex world. Finally, AI has advanced through the ambition to humanize matter, so we should expect ethics to give a response to the future status of machines and their interactions with humans."

AIDA: Artificial Intelligence Data Analysis 

" Pre-training large-scale language models (LMs) requires huge amounts of text corpora. 
 LMs for English enjoy the ever-growing corpora of diverse language resources.
 However, less-resourced languages and their mono- and multilingual LMs often struggle to obtain bigger datasets.
  A typical approach in this case implies using machine translation of English corpora to a target language.
  In this work, we study the caveats of applying directly translated corpora for fine-tuning LMs for downstream natural language processing tasks and demonstrate that careful curation along with post-processing leads to improved performance and overall LMs robustness."
