How data can revolutionise mental health science: video interview with the Wellcome Trust

· Thomas Wood

Find out how AI and natural language processing are being used in mental health research and other areas of social sciences research.

Here’s a series of interviews with the Wellcome Trust about the Mental Health Data Prize. Members of the three winning teams are discussing the prize and the transformative potential of data in mental health science. Thomas Wood at Fast Data Science talks about the Harmony project, funded by the Wellcome Trust and now by ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council.

Using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to predict the future

Guest post by Alex Nikic In the past few years, Generative AI technology has advanced rapidly, and businesses are increasingly adopting it for a variety of tasks. While GenAI excels at tasks such as document summarisation, question answering, and content generation, it lacks the ability to provide reliable forecasts for future events. GenAI models are not designed for forecasting, and along with the tendancy to hallucinate information, the output of these models should not be trusted when planning key business decisions. For more details, a previous article on our blog explores in-depth the trade-offs of GenAI vs Traditional Machine Learning approaches.

Getty Images v Stability AI trial concludes - will 'AI training havens' spring up in jurisdictions with lenient copyright laws?

After this ruling, will tech companies move all model training to data centres that they consider “copyright safe”? Will we see a new equivalent of a “tax haven” for training AI models on copyrighted content? An “AI haven”? This article is not legal advice.
