KI researchers developed enzyme-targeting nanoprobes that could prove useful in both the clinic and the lab. The nanosensors track tumor progression and treatment response in real time, and map enzyme activity to precise locations within cancer tissue.

Our preprint "Deep Evidential Regression" is online! We present a fast method for learning uncertainty of neural networks without sampling, by placing evidential priors over the likelihood and training the NN to infer hyperparameters of the prior. 1/ 👉👉
