Verified sourcing
Every story links to the strongest available evidence: original sources when available, otherwise clearly attributed reporting.
Plain English
What happened, why it matters, and what to watch — without the jargon.
No filler
When the signal is thin, we publish nothing rather than padding the feed.

ATHENA uses cross-hospital AI search to tune EHR Transformer architectures
A new arXiv preprint presents ATHENA, a multi-agent system that reuses architecture knowledge across hospitals when searching for Transformer designs for electronic-health-record prediction. The authors report that it matched or outperformed four neural-architecture-search baselines in 9 of 12 hospital-task…arxiv.orgPolicy
UChicago Law School adds oral defenses and limits devices under AI strategy
The University of Chicago Law School will bar laptops, tablets and phones from required first-year classes and add live oral discussions to second-year research papers as part of an AI-focused education strategy, the Hyde Park Herald reports.hpherald.comInnovation
Tech Xplore reports benchmark finding bias in expert recommendations across 22 LLMs
Tech Xplore reports that a benchmark of 22 language models found trade-offs between factual accuracy and social representation when models recommend experts. Retrieval improved factuality, while prompting improved representation, but no tested intervention improved both.techxplore.comSecurity
AFP reports UK-Ukraine deal to test battlefield AI data at British defense site
AFP reports that Ukraine will give Britain access to the Avengers dataset, containing millions of battlefield images used to train autonomous Ukrainian drones. The data is expected to be tested at a UK defense site to help protect bases and other sensitive infrastructure.enterpriseai.economictimes.indiatimes.comInnovation
FlavourBench proposes an executable test for ranking frontier language models
A new arXiv preprint evaluates 27 frontier language-model endpoints on 534 culinary-choice tasks using a versioned scoring system and releases the data, responses and verifier for reproduction.arxiv.orgInnovation
Indian Researchers Develop New AI Tool and Drug for Cancer Care
Researchers at leading Indian institutions have announced two significant developments in cancer research that aim to improve how doctors detect relapse and treat malignant cells.whalesbook.comInnovation
Systematic review of 55 studies finds autism machine learning still leans on supervised models
A four-author arXiv systematic review surveys 55 studies from 2017 to 2023 on machine learning for autism diagnosis and treatment: supervised methods dominate, deep learning is growing, and progress depends on combining genetic, clinical and sensor data. The listing gives no search method or accuracy figures.arxiv.orgInnovation
Preprint ties model uncertainty to the label tree, reporting about half the calibration error
A new arXiv preprint proposes H²EDL, a classifier that expresses uncertainty over the label taxonomy, so it can commit to a broad category while declining a specific class. It reports roughly halved calibration error on two image datasets versus cross-entropy baselines; not peer reviewed, no numbers in the abstract.arxiv.orgInnovation
Preprint reports steering representation geometry makes brain–model alignment more two-way
An arXiv preprint says reshaping the spectral geometry of a vision model's representations during training makes model–brain alignment more symmetric, reporting a 55% relative gain in two-way predictivity. The authors call the demonstration initial, the abstract names no neural data, and the gain is a trade-off.arxiv.org
