Applied Statistics and Machine Learning courses provide students with hands-on experience using the latest AI tools

Carson Easterling plans to specialize in control theory when he enters graduate school at Auburn University this fall, but he needed more preparation. Applied Statistics and Machine Learning (ELEC 5970 6970 600) is an interdisciplinary course in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering that introduces students to basic and advanced machine learning tools through […]

Quantum learning shows a steep slope but does not agree with the classical result at 0.05

Siavash Kakavand and colleagues present an exhaustive empirical study that benchmarks quantum kernel support vector machines (QSVMs) against classical baselines on tabular data, revealing important insights into the near-term feasibility of quantum computers for supervised learning. The team conducted 970 experiments utilizing nine datasets, four quantum feature maps, and three classical kernels with nested cross-validation. […]

Fragile X risk predicted by AI

Researchers have demonstrated that machine learning may help identify people at risk of developing Fragile X-related tremor/ataxia syndrome before obvious symptoms appear. Why early prediction of Fragile X is important Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects some male Fragile X premutation carriers later in life. Currently, clinicians lack reliable […]

AI services without sacrificing costs

AI developers and engineers are being forced to make trade-offs they shouldn’t have to make: move fast and relinquish control with managed AI services, or build on raw infrastructure and absorb all the costs of complexity. ‍ This is becoming one of the critical bottlenecks for AI adoption in enterprises. ‍ Enterprise spending on generative […]

Predicting Parkinson’s disease using biomarkers and machine learning AI

The scale of Parkinson’s disease diagnosis poses a major challenge to healthcare systems around the world. According to the nonprofit Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, nearly 90,000 people are newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year in the United States. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain disease that damages dopamine-producing neurons, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, […]
