New AI System Predicts Seizures With Near-Perfect Accuracy [Javascript required]:

For the roughly 50 million people worldwide with epilepsy, the exchange of electrical signals between cells in their brain can sometimes go haywire and cause a seizure—often with little to no warning. Two researchers at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette have developed a new AI-powered model that can predict the occurrence of seizures up to one hour before onset with 99.6 percent accuracy.

"Due to unexpected seizure times, epilepsy has a strong psychological and social effect on patients," explains Hisham Daoud, a researcher who co-developed the new model.

Detecting seizures ahead of time could greatly improve the quality of life for patients with epilepsy and provide them with enough time to take action, he says. Notably, seizures are controllable with medication in up to 70 percent of these patients.

    I did some digging and their data set has some weird edge case sources. They were able to predict the publish dates of all Runaway's journals.
