Large-scale Electronic Health Record (EHR) databases have become indispensable in supporting clinical decision-making through data-driven treatment recommendations. However, existing medication recommender methods often struggle with a user (i.e., patient) cold-start problem, where recommendations for new patients are usually unreliable due to the lack of sufficient prescription history for patient profiling. While prior studies have utilized medical knowledge graphs to connect medication concepts through pharmacological or chemical relationships, these methods primarily focus on mitigating the item cold-start issue and […]

Hey everyone , I’m working on the Farmer Training Adoption Challenge , I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock with optimizing my model performance. Current Public Score: Current score : 0.788265742 Target ROC-AUC: 0.968720425 Target Log Loss: ~0.16254811 I want to improve both classification ranking (ROC-AUC) and probability calibration (Log Loss), but I’m not quite sure which direction to take beyond my current approach. What I’ve Tried So Far Models: LightGBM CatBoost XGBoost Simple stacking/ensembling Feature Engineering: TF-IDF […]

For many large companies, the most useful form of AI right now has little to do with writing emails or answering questions. At PepsiCo, AI is being tested in places where mistakes are costly and changes are hard to undo — factory layouts, production lines, and physical operations. That shift is visible in how PepsiCo is using AI and digital twins to model and adjust its manufacturing facilities before making changes in the real world. Rather than experimenting […]

The artificial intelligence industry’s pivot toward agentic AI – systems capable of autonomously executing multi-step tasks – has dominated technology discussions in recent months. But while Western firms focus on foundational models and cross-platform interoperability, China’s technology giants are racing to dominate through commerce integration, a divergence that could reshape how enterprises deploy autonomous systems globally. Alibaba, Tencent and ByteDance have rapidly upgraded their AI platforms to support agentic commerce, marking a pivot from conversational AI tools to […]

IR-drop is a critical power integrity challenge in modern VLSI designs that can cause timing degradation, reliability issues, and functional failures if not detected early in the design flow. Conventional IR-drop analysis relies on physics-based signoff tools, which provide high accuracy but incur significant computational cost and require near-final layout information, making them unsuitable for rapid early-stage design exploration. In this work, we propose a deep learning-based surrogate modeling approach for early-stage IR-drop estimation using a CNN. The […]

Federated Learning (FL) facilitates decentralized collaborative learning without transmitting raw data. However, reliance on fixed global rounds or validation data for hyperparameter tuning hinders practical deployment by incurring high computational costs and privacy risks. To address this, we propose a data-free early stopping framework that determines the optimal stopping point by monitoring the task vector’s growth rate using solely server-side parameters. The numerical results on skin lesion/blood cell classification demonstrate that our approach is comparable to validation-based early […]
