Improving Subseasonal Forecasting with Machine Learning
This content was previously published by Nature Portfolio and Springer Nature Communities on Nature Portfolio Earth and Environment Community. Improving our ability to forecast the weather and climate is of interest to all sectors of the economy and to government agencies from the local to the national level. Weather forecasts zero to ten days ahead and climate forecasts seasons to decades ahead are currently used operationally in decision-making, and the accuracy and reliability of these forecasts has improved consistently in recent […]

How to Make Engaging Programming Videos
Programming videos have become an increasingly popular medium for sharing knowledge and helping the fellow developers on your team. Especially when you’re working remotely, effective communication is vital, and screencasts have emerged as a powerful tool that meets this need. That’s why knowing how to make programming videos is a valuable skill, no matter where you are in your career. Even if you’ve never considered creating video content yourself, creating a screencast can be a great way to enhance written […]
Read moreAccounting for past imaging studies: Enhancing radiology AI and reporting
The use of self-supervision from image-text pairs has been a key enabler in the development of scalable and flexible vision-language AI models in not only general domains but also in biomedical domains such as radiology. The goal in the radiology setting is to produce rich training signals without requiring manual labels so the models can learn to accurately recognize and locate findings in the images and relate them to content in radiology reports. Radiologists use radiology reports to describe imaging […]

Understanding CPUs can help speed up Numba and NumPy code
When you need to speed up your NumPy processing—or just reduce your memory usage—the Numba just-in-time compiler is a great tool. It lets you write Python code that gets compiled at runtime to machine code, allowing you to get the kind of speed improvements you’d get from languages like C, Fortran, or Rust. Or at least, that’s the theory. In practice, your initial Numba code may be no faster than the NumPy equivalent. But you can do better, once you […]
