Bible Verses of the Day
6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. [1 Peter 1:6-9, ESV]

We don't yet have a cure for Alzheimer's disease, but detecting it earlier means preparations and perhaps even preventative measures can be put in place.
New artificial intelligence (AI) models could soon provide an early warning for individuals destined to develop the condition's symptoms years before they appear.
A team from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Stanford University applied machine learning methods to more than 5 million health records, training the AI to spot patterns that connect Alzheimer's to other conditions.

The paper, “Assessing Verbal Eyewitness Confidence Statements Using Natural Language Processing,” outlines how the researchers trained a large language model (LLM) to parse eyewitness confidence statements in an effort to help reduce misidentifications, one of the largest known contributors to wrongful convictions.
“Of the over 3,000 exonerations recorded to date by the National Registry of Exonerations, more than 900 are due to eyewitness misidentifications,” says Paul Heaton, Academic Director of the Quattrone Center, Professor of Law, and co-author of the paper.
“To help address this problem, we developed a new tool to enable attorneys and police investigators to better distinguish accurate identifications from faulty ones.”
The AI developed by the researchers offers a neutral method for assessing such statements free of contextual bias, leveraging information from thousands of prior eyewitness decisions.
