Machine Learning Based Approaches for Cancer Classification Using Gene Expres...mlaij
The classification of different types of tumor is of great importance in cancer diagnosis and drug discovery.
Earlier studies on cancer classification have limited diagnostic ability. The recent development of DNA
microarray technology has made monitoring of thousands of gene expression simultaneously. By using this
abundance of gene expression data researchers are exploring the possibilities of cancer classification.
There are number of methods proposed with good results, but lot of issues still need to be addressed. This
paper present an overview of various cancer classification methods and evaluate these proposed methods
based on their classification accuracy, computational time and ability to reveal gene information. We have
also evaluated and introduced various proposed gene selection method. In this paper, several issues
related to cancer classification have also been discussed.
MODEL BASED TECHNIQUE FOR VEHICLE TRACKING IN TRAFFIC VIDEO USING SPATIAL LOC...mlaij
In this paper, we proposed a novel method for visible vehicle tracking in traffic video sequence using model based strategy combined with spatial local features. Our tracking algorithm consists of two components: vehicle detection and vehicle tracking. In the detection step, we subtract the background and obtained candidate foreground objects represented as foreground mask. After obtaining foreground mask of
candidate objects, vehicles are detected using Co-HOG descriptor. In the tracking step, vehicle model is
constructed based on shape and texture features extracted from vehicle regions using Co-HOG and CSLBP method. After constructing the vehicle model, for the current frame, vehicle features are extracted from each vehicle region and then vehicle model is updated. Finally, vehicles are tracked based on the similarity measure between current frame vehicles and vehicle models. The proposed algorithm is evaluated based on precision, recall and VTA metrics obtained on GRAM-RTM dataset and i-Lids dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves good accuracy.
Ali Arshad Mir (Urdu: علی ارشد میر, January 1, 1951 – October 16, 2008) was an epic Punjabi poet and writer, sometimes described as the "Homer of Punjab".[1] His works have been translated into languages such as Urdu and English. In the 1970s, his International Anthem brought him recognition. Its lines, Girti hui dewaar ko aik dhaka aur do (Urdu: گرتی ہوئی دیوار کو ایک دھکا اور دو) are a popular slogan in the Punjab. His work includes dozens of poems that depict the socio-economic condition of society's oppressed people. They also highlight the sacrifices of the subcontinent's resistance movements.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
