Central Saint MartinsgraduateJann Choy has created an inflatable maskthat reacts to your online behaviour. This one-minute video shows it in action.

Named Lin, the mask is an experimental design piece that aims to explore the performance of our virtual selves and the relationship between our online and offline personas.

The mask uses a form of artificial intelligence known as sentiment analysis to understand your online interactions.

Depending on whether you choose to act positively or negatively, different corresponding areas of the mask swell, changing the structure of the mask.

The mask was created by Choy as her graduate project while studying at Central Saint Martins College. Choy was inspired by the traditional Chinese performance art bin lin.

Bin lin, which directly translates as "face changing", is a subgenre of Chinese opera. Performers wear a series of bold masks each representing a different emotion.

During the performance, actors switch between masks seemingly instantaneously.

Choy's design draws a parallel between this performance and our online behaviours.

The project was recently awarded the Mullenlowe Nova Awards for Fresh Creative Talent.

FE News also broadcast live events, podcasts with leading experts and thought leaders, webinars, video interviews and Further Education news bulletins so you receive the latest developments inSkills Newsand across the Apprenticeship, Further Education and Employability sectors.

Every week FE News has over 200 articles and new pieces of content per week. We are a news channel providing the latest Further Education News, giving insight from multiple sources on the latest education policy developments, latest strategies, through to our thought leaders who provide blue sky thinking strategy, best practice and innovation to help look into the future developments for education and the future of work.

In Jan 2021, FE News had over 173,000 unique visitors according to Google Analytics and over 200 new pieces of news content every week, from thought leadership articles, to the latest education news via written word, podcasts, video to press releases from across the sector, putting us in the top 2,000 websites in the UK.

We thought it would be helpful to explain how we tier our latest education news content and how you can get involved and understand how you can read the latest daily Further Education news and how we structure our FE Week of content:

Our main features are exclusive and are thought leadership articles and blue sky thinking with experts writing peer to peer news articles about the future of education and the future of work. The focus is solution led thought leadership, sharing best practice, innovation and emerging strategy. These are often articles about the future of education and the future of work, they often then create future education news articles. We limit our main features to a maximum of 20 per week, as they are often about new concepts and new thought processes. Our main features are also exclusive articles responding to the latest education news, maybe an insight from an expert into a policy announcement or response to an education think tank report or a white paper.

FE Voices was originally set up as a section on FE News to give a voice back to the sector. As we now have over 3,000 newsrooms and contributors, FE Voices are usually thought leadership articles, they dont necessarily have to be exclusive, but usually are, they are slightly shorter than Main Features. FE Voices can include more mixed media with the Further Education News articles, such as embedded podcasts and videos. Our sector response articles asking for different comments and opinions to education policy announcements or responding to a report of white paper are usually held in the FE Voices section. If we have a live podcast in an evening or a radio show such as SkillsWorldLive radio show, the next morning we place the FE podcast recording in the FE Voices section.

In sector news we have a blend of content from Press Releases, education resources, reports, education research, white papers from a range of contributors. We have a lot of positive education news articles from colleges, awarding organisations and Apprenticeship Training Providers, press releases from DfE to Think Tanks giving the overview of a report, through to helpful resources to help you with delivering education strategies to your learners and students.

We have a range of education podcasts on FE News, from hour long full production FE podcasts such as SkillsWorldLive in conjunction with the Federation of Awarding Bodies, to weekly podcasts from experts and thought leaders, providing advice and guidance to leaders. FE News also record podcasts at conferences and events, giving you one on one podcasts with education and skills experts on the latest strategies and developments.

We have over 150 education podcasts on FE News, ranging from EdTech podcasts with experts discussing Education 4.0 and how technology is complimenting and transforming education, to podcasts with experts discussing education research, the future of work, how to develop skills systems for jobs of the future to interviews with the Apprenticeship and Skills Minister.

We record our own exclusive FE News podcasts, work in conjunction with sector partners such as FAB to create weekly podcasts and daily education podcasts, through to working with sector leaders creating exclusive education news podcasts.

FE News have over 700 FE Video interviews and have been recording education video interviews with experts for over 12 years. These are usually vox pop video interviews with experts across education and work, discussing blue sky thinking ideas and views about the future of education and work.

FE News has a free events calendar to check out the latest conferences, webinars and events to keep up to date with the latest education news and strategies.

The FE Newsroom is home to your content if you are a FE News contributor. It also help the audience develop relationship with either you as an individual or your organisation as they can click through and box set consume all of your previous thought leadership articles, latest education news press releases, videos and education podcasts.

Do you want to contribute, share your ideas or vision or share a press release?

If you want to write a thought leadership article, share your ideas and vision for the future of education or the future of work, write a press release sharing the latest education news or contribute to a podcast, first of all you need to set up a FE Newsroom login (which is free): once the team have approved your newsroom (all content, newsrooms are all approved by a member of the FE News team- no robots are used in this process!), you can then start adding content (again all articles, videos and podcasts are all approved by the FE News editorial team before they go live on FE News).

Artificial Intelligence and Education: Protecting the Heritage of Humanity - FE News

Technological progress has enabled unprecedented developments in the field of research. Especially in recent years. This is how the world of biology and medicine benefit from technological innovation.

The application of computer science to the world of biology and medicine has been absolutely revolutionary for both branches and has helped significantly in the improvement of treatments. As indicated by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III, bioinformatics has been fundamental in the analysis and interpretation of SARS-CoV-2 data. During 2020, the research carried out by the Bioinformatics Unit of the aforementioned centre was essential, since it shed light on such important issues as the sequencing of the genome of the new coronavirus and the automation of diagnostic tests.

Bioinformatics researches, develops and applies informatics and computational tools to improve the management of biological data, by using tools that collect, store, organise, analyse and interpret all these data.

In this sense, Big Data development has been one of the great driving forces for the improvement of research work in recent years. Other important contributions regarding innovation within the framework of connectivity and digitisation have been Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, supported by the 5G network, as they offer new perspectives for tackling an increasing number of biomedical problems, thanks to the creation of algorithms and mathematical models that extract maximum knowledge from data.

The analysis of massive data applied to health allows for a better understanding of the DNA and genome of different organisms in addition to human DNA, as well as of proteins, enzymes and amino acids. But some of the areas where the progress of bioinformatics has been truly significant, in addition to the information it has given scientists regarding the coronavirus, are the identification of mutations associated with tumours, of pathogens causing infectious outbreaks, and the study of rare diseases.

The use of new technologies for the early detection of rare diseases is improving many patients' quality of life. This is because thanks to them it is possible to obtain a quick and reliable diagnosis. Rare diseases affect fewer than 5 in 10,000 inhabitants, and according to data from the Spanish Federation for Rare Diseases, FEDER, they affect more than three million inhabitants in Spain. Due to their low prevalence, studies and research are very limited. This is why the emergence of Artificial Intelligence in this area of study has been so important.

According to an interview published by Agencia SINC with Julin Isla, President of the Foundation 29, it can take between five and six years for rare disease patients to get a correct diagnosis. This time is vital for these patients, given that in the meantime they may receive incorrect treatments that worsen their health condition. As a software engineer, Isla created an AI-based platform that helps doctors carry out a quick diagnosis by comparing data between symptoms and genetic information. It should be noted that 80% of rare diseases have a genetic component. Thus, with this platform, Isla has managed to reduce the diagnostic process to around 10 minutes by automating the genetic analysis.

Although bioinformatics has been around for a long time, the 4.0 revolution has been a turning point for all health-related sciences. This discipline has its origins in the 1960s, when computational models began to be applied to the study of proteins. Later, with the introduction of large-scale communication structures, it continued to grow until it reached personalised medicine.

For some years now, medicine has been using supercomputing to tailor treatments based on the origin of the disease and the patient's genome. One of the greatest examples of this feat is HIV treatments. According to the UN, AIDS has killed nearly 39 million people, and some 78 million have been infected since the first cases of the human immunodeficiency virus were diagnosed in the early 1980s in the United States.

HIV is characterised by rapid mutation, which allows it to evade antiretroviral treatment. To find a solution, scientists at the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre and IrsiCaixa have developed a bioinformatics platform capable of predicting these mutations in order to predict treatment effectiveness. Thus, the study of each patient's clinical experience helps to develop new therapies and to develop innovative treatments to be applied in a precise way, thereby promoting the implementation of personalised medicine.

The design of new medicinal products is another benefit of this discipline. It seeks a therapeutic target capable of modifying the course of a disease based on the study of biological data. This is one of the highest hopes of finding a cure for cancer in the not too distant future.

The scientific community already has powerful tools at its disposal, such as Big Data. to study the genome of diagnosed individuals, which will help understand the origin of tumours in the future. To this end, there is already an initiative called the International Cancer Genome Consortium, in which Spanish scientists are collaborating, which studies genetic, transcriptomic and epigenetic changes in more than 50 different types of tumours. This project has identified almost 4 million genetic mutations in participating patients, which could prove invaluable in the fight against cancer in the years to come.

Thanks to all these studies, new generations of drugs will be more effective and safer, and will be developed according to the genetic characteristics of each patient and thus save more lives.

Artificial Intelligence in Food and Beverage Market Size Forecasted to Reach Valuation of USD 62.83 Billion... - TechBullion

This past Thursday I held a public lecture, together with my long-time friend Ivan Bianchi, on the topic of Art and Artificial Intelligence. The event was organized by the "Galileo Festival" in Padova, for the Week of Innovation.Ivan is a professor of Contemporary Art at the University of Padova. We have known each other since we were two year olds, as our mothers were friends. We took very different career paths but we both ended up in academic and research jobs in Padova, and we have been able to take part together in several events where art and science are at the focus. Giving a lecture together is twice as fun!

The event took place in the historic "Sala Rossini" of Caff Pedrocchi (see above), in the town center, and was streamed live for online participants. We were a bit surprised to see that the hall was full of attendees, but in retrospect I think the venue, the timing, and the general organization were all playing their part to maximize the attention that the event received.Given that people are usually more interested in Art than in scientific topics I left to Ivan the better part of the hour we had, and took upon myself the task of introducing the topic, and to walk the audience through a discussion of what really is it that we talk about when we discuss Artificial Intelligence. I helped myself a bit with some material I had used earlier this year when I was invited at the Accademia dei Lincei (by its vice-president Giorgio Parisi, who a week ago won the Nobel prize in Physics!) - I will not repeat a summary of the discussion here as I did it in this other post already(which, amazingly, has already collected over 134000 page views...)

At the end of my half hour, in order to throw a bridge to the following discussion centered on art, I showed and discussed a video which showed how deep learning techniques are used to complete unfinished symphonies and works by classical music giants (Beethoven, Mahler, Schubert) - you can find the relevant material and a video at this link.

Ivan discussed how artificial intelligence is used in contemporary art nowadays. He touched on how artificial intelligence-powered instruments can be used as artistic objects (the shown case was a robotic arm which took the center stage of the Biennale 2019 in Venice) creating a performance of which they are the authors, or as support tools to produce artwork (such as robots that can sculpt marble figures and leave the artist only the final touch), or as the true subjects of the artistic production, such as a robot that creates paintings with acrylic paint on canvas. I will not go into the details of his explanation of the various trends and ideas, but you can certainly listen to the lecture in the linked video below (however, it is in Italian, unfortunately):
