Rare genetic diseases can now be detected in patients, and tumor-specific mutations identified — a milestone made possible by DNA sequencing, which transformed biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, the introduction of new sequencing technologies (next-generation sequencing) has driven a wave of breakthroughs. During 2020 and 2021, for instance,Continue Reading
This post was written with Meghana Chintalapudi and Surabhi Sankhla of Kore.ai. As organizations struggle with exponentially growing volumes of data distributed across multiple repositories and applications, employees lose significant time—approximately 30% according to the International Data Corporation (IDC)—searching for information that could be spent on higher-value work. The complexityContinue Reading
For astrobiologists, the search for life beyond our solar system could be likened to where one would look in a vast desert — essentially, where there’s water. And it turns out that one of the most common types of exoplanet observed in planetary systems beyond ours have a size andContinue Reading
Scientists have devised a new method for mapping the spottiness of distant stars by using observations from NASA missions of orbiting planets crossing their stars’ faces. The model builds on a technique researchers have used for decades to study star spots. By improving astronomers’ understanding of spotty stars, the newContinue Reading
Healthcare discovery on ecommerce domains presents unique challenges that traditional product search wasn’t designed to handle. Unlike searching for books or electronics, healthcare queries involve complex relationships between symptoms, conditions, treatments, and services, requiring sophisticated understanding of medical terminology and customer intent. This challenge became particularly relevant for Amazon asContinue Reading
Tyson Foodservice operates as a critical division within Tyson Foods Inc., using its extensive protein production capabilities to supply a diverse array of foodservice clients across multiple sectors. As one of the largest protein providers in the US, Tyson Foods produces approximately 20% of the nation’s beef, pork, and chicken,Continue Reading
NASA has selected three instruments to travel to the Moon, with two planned for integration onto an LTV (Lunar Terrain Vehicle) and one for a future orbital opportunity. The LTV is part of NASA’s efforts to explore the lunar surface as part of the Artemis campaign and is the firstContinue Reading
As companies and individual users deal with constantly growing amounts of video content, the ability to perform low-effort search to retrieve videos or video segments using natural language becomes increasingly valuable. Semantic video search offers a powerful solution to this problem, so users can search for relevant video content basedContinue Reading
Scientists and space explorers have been on the hunt to determine where and how much ice is present on the Moon. Water ice would be an important resource at a future lunar base, as it could be used to support humans or be broken down to hydrogen and oxygen, keyContinue Reading
Customers today expect to find products quickly and efficiently through intuitive search functionality. A seamless search journey not only enhances the overall user experience, but also directly impacts key business metrics such as conversion rates, average order value, and customer loyalty. According to a McKinsey study, 78% of consumers areContinue Reading
