ENSEMBLE LEARNING Putting the weight where weak learners need it most Everyone makes mistakes — even the simplest decision trees in machine learning. Instead of ignoring them, AdaBoost (Adaptive Boosting) algorithm does something different: it learns (or adapts) from these mistakes to get better. Unlike Random Forest, which makes many trees at once, AdaBoost starts …
The pursuit of extended human lifespans through artificial intelligence (AI) has ushered in an era of unprecedented possibilities and complex ethical challenges. As we stand at the intersection of AI, ethics, and longevity science, we face a critical question: How can we harness AI’s potential to extend human life while safeguarding our values, privacy, and …

Alright, I’ll admit I cheated a little. But arguably not much more than the political pundits that claim to have predicted every election since, say, 1980. Every election cycle, you see stories on the news of someone who has correctly predicted every election in however many years. Most recently, I saw stories about Allan Lichtman, …
In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping every facet of our lives, a groundbreaking frontier emerges: emotionally intelligent AI that adapts to all life stages. A recent study by the MIT AgeLab revealed that 73% of adults believe AI could significantly enhance emotional support across generations. This statistic isn’t just a number; it’s a …
