The authors combine fine needle aspiration biopsy and machine learning algorithms to develop a breast cancer detection method suitable for resource-constrained regions that lack access to mammograms.
Read More...Identifying anxiety and burnout from students facial expressions and demographics using machine learning
The authors used machine learning to predict the presence of anxiety and burnout in students based on facial expressions and demographic information.
Read More...Investigating intertidal sediment sorting and median particle diameter variation on an eroding beach face
The authors looked at beach nourishment (a way to combat erosion on coasts) and resulting grain size distribution. Their work is important to understand the dynamics of erosion and it's relation to wave action and the implications this has for efforts to mitigate coastal erosion.

The authors developed and tested machine learning methods to diagnose tuberculosis from pulmonary X-ray scans.
Read More...Creating a drought prediction model using convolutional neural networks
Droughts kill over 45,000 people yearly and affect the livelihoods of 55 million others worldwide, with climate change likely to worsen these effects. However, unlike other natural disasters (hurricanes, etc.), there is no early detection system that can predict droughts far enough in advance to be useful. Bora, Caulkins, and Joycutty tackle this issue by creating a drought prediction model.
Read More...SOS-PVCase: A machine learning optimized lignin peroxidase with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) degrading properties
The authors looked at the primary structure of lignin peroxidase in an attempt to identify mutations that would improve both the stability and solubility of the peroxidase protein. The goal is to engineer peroxidase enzymes that are stable to help break down polymers, such as PVC, into monomers that can be reused instead of going to landfills.
