Approximately 185,000 people have died in civilian aviation accidents since the advent of powered flight over a century ago. However, over the past five years among U.S. airlines, the risk of dying has been almost zero. In fact, you have a much better chance of winning most lotteries than you do of dying as a passenger on a U.S. air carrier.Approximately 185,000 people have died in civilian aviation accidents since the advent of powered flight over a century ago.

Psychologists and behavioral scientists have been trying to understand how people mentally represent, encode and process letters, words and sentences for decades. The introduction of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, has opened new possibilities for research in this area, as these models are specifically designed to process and generate texts in different human languages.Psychologists and behavioral scientists have been trying to understand how people mentally represent, encode and process letters, words and sentences for decades.

A research team has developed a new one-shot federated learning artificial intelligence (AI) technique that enables efficient training of large-scale models without sharing personal information. This research outcome is extremely significant, as it demonstrates that privacy protection, learning efficiency, and model performance can be secured simultaneously in the field of medical image analysis.A research team has developed a new one-shot federated learning artificial intelligence (AI) technique that enables efficient training of large-scale models without sharing personal information.
