Alzheimer’s Prediction May Be Found in Writing Tests

Is it possible to predict who will develop Alzheimer’s disease simply by looking at writing patterns years before there are symptoms? We asked that question to Guillermo Cecchi, principal researcher at IBM Research and lead scientist on their Alzheimer's prediction research. You’ll have to listen to the episode for the answer, but it’s worth the listen. Guillermo discusses how IBM researchers trained artificial intelligence to pick up hints of changes in language ahead of the onset of neurological diseases – and it’s just the beginning.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Destination: Europe (Forced Migration Review 51) Oxford University Europe is experiencing the mass movements of displaced people in a way that it has largely been immune from for decades. The manifestations of the 'migration crisis' are as disparate as the building of fences to stop people crossing normally peaceful borders, the deaths of people transported by smugglers in unseaworthy boats, EU political leaders bickering over a Common European Asylum System and the numbers they will or will not allow into their respective countries, and contentious responses to the disaster that continues to unfold in Syria. Alongside this we also see an upsurge of grass-roots compassion, solidarity and assistance to those whose human suffering on a grand scale in and around Europe constitutes the reality behind the rhetoric. FMR 51 includes 43 articles on 'Destination: Europe', plus five 'general' articles.
