This article investigates the study methodologies, learning strategies, and motives of spelling bee participants. The authors identify several important educational implications of this work.

The authors studied the ability of deep learning models to predict droughts in the midwestern United States.

The authors looked at how the length of an audio clip used of a song impacted the ability to properly classify it by musical genre.

The authors compare current machine learning algorithms with a new Explainable AI algorithm that produces a human-comprehensible decision tree alongside predictions.

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.

The authors looked at different factors, such as age, pre-existing conditions, and geographic region, and their ability to predict what an individual's health insurance premium would be.

The authors looked at the ability to use audio clips to analyze the progression of Parkinson's disease.

Using machine learning to predict the risk of algae bloom

Here the authors hypothesized that reducing folliculin (FLCN) might affect p62 protein levels in the dorsal hippocampus of mice, given their potential functional connection and p62's role in neurodegenerative diseases. Their study, using western blots and a two-way ANOVA on young wild-type mice, found that p62 levels correlated with FLCN expression, but ultimately concluded there's no evidence of a functional connection between FLCN and p62 in this specific model.

This study uses interpretable machine learning models, lasso and ridge regression with Shapley analysis, to identify key sales drivers for Corporación Favorita, Ecuador’s largest grocery chain. The results show that macroeconomic factors, especially labor force size, have the greatest impact on sales, though geographic and seasonal variables like city altitude and holiday proximity also play important roles. These insights can help businesses focus on the most influential market conditions to enhance competitiveness and profitability.
