Why this breakthrough matters Dynamical-generative downscaling represents a significant step towards obtaining comprehensive future regional climate projections at actionable scales below 10 km. It makes downscaling large ensembles of Earth system models computationally feasible — our study estimates computational cost savings of 85% for the 8-model ensemble tested, a figure that would increase for larger ensembles. The fast and efficient AI inference step is similar to how Google’s SEEDS and GenCast weather forecasting models operate, enabling a thorough assessment of regional environmental risk.By providing more accurate and probabilistically complete regional climate projections at a fraction of the computational cost, dynamical-generative…

Relational databases constitute the main bulk of enterprise data formats and power many prediction services across Google as well as other services people use every day, like content recommendation or traffic prediction. Most non-trivial applications employ multiple tables — in fact, some elaborate applications at Google might require maintaining hundreds of tables — and extracting an actionable value from such networks of tables is rather non-trivial. Traditional tabular machine learning (ML) methods (like decision trees) often struggle to fully leverage the connectivity structure of these relational schemas.On the other hand, recent advances in ML offer a suite of tools to…

Amid the futuristic skyline of Dubai, where glass towers and modern marvels dominate the landscape, Dubai Opera stands as a beacon of culture and creativity. Located in the heart of Downtown Dubai, this architectural masterpiece is designed in the shape of a traditional dhow, the sailing vessel that reflects the UAE’s maritime heritage. Since opening its doors, Dubai Opera has established itself as the city’s premier performing arts venue, hosting a diverse array of productions ranging from world-class operas and ballets to Broadway shows, concerts, and even contemporary comedy acts. Its versatile design allows the venue to transform seamlessly from a theater into a…

“I think we’re going to see a *MASSIVE* move up by Bitcoin soon,” said crypto analyst ‘Colin Talks Crypto’ on X on Monday. He added that we are at a “pivotal moment right now,” and BTC is “going to soar soon, and not look back.” The bullish prediction came as Bitcoin tanked around $4,000 from $116,000 to just over $112,000 on Monday in the latest leverage market flush. The analyst was not worried by short-term dips, identifying multiple nested chart patterns such as an inverse head-and-shoulders within another head-and-shoulders, all contained in a larger inverse head-and-shoulders formation inside a broadening wedge.…

What does it take to be the best service provider in your field? Four leaders in defence tech, healthtech, executive recruitment and water infrastructure give us a glimpse. Ahead of the 2026 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program’s 25th annual awards in October, Startup Daily is profiling the trailblazing entrepreneurs named as national finalists. So far, we’ve met the finalists in the Social Impact, Emerging and Industry categories. We’ll soon meet the Technology finalists, but today it’s all about the Services category; four founders breaking new ground in how they deliver service across their respective fields. Kuba Kabacinski, Consunet In…

The recent success of machine learning models relies on not only large-scale, but also high-quality data. The paradigm of pre-training on massive data collected on the web and post-training on smaller high-quality data is used to train both large and small language models (LMs). For large models, post-training has proven vital for aligning models to user intent, and post-training of small models to adapt to the user domain has yielded significant results, for example, achieving 3%–13% improvements in key production metrics for mobile typing applications.However, in complex LM training systems, there are potential privacy risks, such as the memorization of…

The summit is positioned as the world’s largest gathering of leaders from the media, cultural, and creative industries, alongside policymakers. It aims to serve as a global platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the development of strategic initiatives that shape the future of content and creativity. Bridge Summit 2025in Abu Dhabi Set across more than 1.65 million square feet, the event will feature seven content tracks spanning six zones. It is expected to draw more than 60,000 participants including creators, producers, artists, publishers, entrepreneurs, investors, universities, and research centres. Over three days, the programme will host more than 300 activities…

Despite their promising initial strides, current MLE agents face several limitations that curtail their efficacy. First, their heavy reliance on pre-existing LLM knowledge often leads to a bias towards familiar and frequently used methods (e.g., the scikit-learn library for tabular data), overlooking potentially superior task-specific approaches. Furthermore, these agents typically employ an exploration strategy that modifies the entire code structure simultaneously in each iteration. This frequently causes agents to prematurely shift focus to other stages (e.g., model selection or hyperparameter tuning) because they lack the capacity for deep, iterative exploration within specific pipeline components, such as exhaustively experimenting with different…

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), the independent regulator of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), today launched the 2025 cohort of its Masaar graduate programme– a flagship initiative designed to prepare talented United Arab Emirates (UAE) Nationals for careers in financial regulation and to advance Dubai and the UAE’s ambition to build world-class national capabilities in financial services. This year’s cohort welcomes six UAE National graduates who were carefully selected for their strong academic background, professional potential, and commitment to public service, and who will now embark on a two-year journey to become the next generation of financial regulators.…

Type 2 diabetes affects hundreds of millions globally, and its prevalence is rising. A major precursor to this condition is insulin resistance (IR), where the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin, a hormone crucial for regulating blood sugar. Detecting IR early is key, as lifestyle changes can often reverse it and prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. However, current methods for accurately measuring IR, like the “gold standard” euglycemic insulin clamp or the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), which requires specific insulin blood tests, are often invasive, expensive, or not readily available in…
