Label distribution learning (LDL) has emerged as a groundbreaking learning paradigm that addresses label ambiguity in supervised learning scenarios. However, annotating data with label distribution is a costly endeavor. The utilization of existing active learning (AL) approaches, which aim to reduce annotation costs in traditional learning, may not be sufficient in the LDL context and
The consumption of textiles has skyrocketed in recent decades, largely driven by the rise of fast fashion. This has led to a significant increase in the environmental impacts associated with clothing production and usage. Environmental scientist Laura Scherer, known for her research on the environmental impacts of food, recognized the need to address the sustainability
Non-perturbative interactions between light and matter have long been a subject of interest for researchers. These interactions involve the quantum properties of light and the phenomena that arise from them. However, the understanding of these phenomena has been limited, with each foundational theory explaining different aspects of the interactions. To address this issue, researchers from
The cosmos is constantly in flux, with celestial bodies born, dying, and transforming in mesmerizing displays of power and beauty. SN 1987A, a supernova remnant located a mere 168,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, has captivated scientists for over three decades. Now, armed with the cutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have
Over the past few decades, our relationship with pets has undergone a dramatic transformation. Nowadays, pet ownership has reached an all-time high, with a staggering 69% of Australian households having at least one furry companion. With this increase in pet ownership comes a significant investment in their well-being, amounting to approximately A$33 billion annually. While
The quest to understand the mysteries of dark matter continues to captivate physicists worldwide. Dark matter, which is yet to be proven to exist, remains a theoretical concept that serves as a placeholder to explain certain gravitational effects on galaxies and deviations from the Standard Model of physics. Over the years, numerous theories and experiments
RNA molecules play diverse roles within the cellular framework. They assist in transferring genetic information from DNA, regulate gene activity, and catalyze biochemical reactions as ribozymes. Recently, the team led by Prof. Claudia Höbartner from Julius-Maximilians-Universität (JMU) Würzburg announced the discovery of a novel ribozyme called SAMURI in the esteemed journal Nature Chemistry. This remarkable
The formation and evolution of mountain valleys play a crucial role in the transportation of sediment from the land to the oceans. Understanding the dynamics of these valleys is essential to comprehend the spatial distribution of rivers, their volumes, and their longevity. A recent study published in Nature Geoscience by Dr. Fiona Clubb and her
Obesity continues to be a pressing global health concern, and finding effective treatments has proven to be challenging. However, recent research led by the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea has provided promising results. Phase 1 clinical trials of a new drug have shown significant potential for reducing weight and fat mass in obese
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the concept of “food is medicine,” particularly in relation to improving the health outcomes of individuals with diet-related illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. A new study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes has shed light on the positive impact of produce prescription
In a museum nestled in the heart of Riyadh, young Saudis find themselves captivated by the evolution of video games. From the classic Pac-Man to the cutting-edge PlayStation 5, this display of gaming history is more than just a trip down memory lane. It is part of a larger project called Gamers8 – an eight-week
Astronomers have stumbled upon a newly discovered exoplanet that has sparked intrigue and raised questions about current theories of planetary formation. Named TOI-332b, its physical properties and orbital distance from its star are perplexing experts. Notably, there is a scarcity of fast-orbiting, Neptune-sized exoplanets like TOI-332b in the Milky Way. This unique finding could potentially
