Biden opens final White House holiday season with turkey pardons and first lady gets Christmas treeMarianne Williamson announces bid for DNC chairInstitute for Systems Biology (ISB) researchers have gained new insights into the strengths and limitations of using artificial intelligence (AI) to identify social determinants of health from electronic health records. Their results are published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research . The ISB team, collaborating with Providence, leveraged large language models (LLM) developed from generative pre-trained transformers (GPT). Their research was conducted completely within the secure Providence internal environment. The study—aimed at detecting housing instability—was conducted on over 25,000 clinical notes from 795 pregnant women and evaluated two large language models (GPT-4 and GPT-3.5), a named entity recognition model, regular expressions, and human review. This research goes beyond previous studies in two important ways. First, researchers measured how well AI can find housing challenges, distinguish between current and past housing instability, and provide direct evidence from clinical notes. Second, they measured whether AI performed differently if the notes had been de-identified. GPT-4 was the most effective of the four technologies tested, and was better than humans at finding cases of housing instability (recall). Humans, however, were better at understanding when people did not have housing instability (precision). Humans were also better at providing correct evidence from a clinical note. "These results show that LLMs present a scalable, cost-effective solution for an initial search for patients who may benefit from outreach," said ISB Associate Professor Jennifer Hadlock, MD, corresponding author of the paper. GPT-4 generally provided the same text that humans had selected to justify answers. Notably, no hallucinated comments appeared in the GPT-4 responses that were reviewed, most likely because the researchers designed the LLM instructions to request verbatim evidence from notes. However, there were cases where the AI interpretation of note text was incorrect in ways that could be misleading. This is especially important because housing status can intersect with many other challenging or risky situations, such as domestic abuse. "When a health care professional decides whether and how to reach out to offer help, they take great care to consider patient safety. Our results illustrate that it would still be essential to have a human read the actual text in the chart, not just the LLM summary," Hadlock added. Further, in a novel experiment, researchers showed that recall was worse when run on de-identified versions of the same clinical notes. These notes had been de-identified with an automated technique called "hide in plain sight," which replaces potentially sensitive information (such as names, locations and dates) with realistic but fictitious alternatives. The de-identification sometimes reclassified critical information enough to skew the ability to accurately determine housing instability . "This highlights the need to refine de-identification methods to preserve privacy without losing important details about social determinants of health," said Alexandra Ralevski, Ph.D., lead author of the study.

A London-listed marketing specialist backed by Lord Ashcroft, the former Conservative Party treasurer, will this week announce the purchase of a key digital partner to sporting properties including the Men's T20 Cricket World Cup. Sky News has learnt that Brave Bison, which trades on the junior AIM exchange and has a market capitalisation of just under £30m, is close to agreeing to buy Engage Digital Partners for just over £10m in a cash-and-stock deal. City sources said a transaction could be announced as soon as Monday morning. It will create a group with 350 staff in its UK offices in London and Manchester, as well as in Australia, India and Singapore. The deal will be the sixth acquisition for Brave Bison since brothers Oli and Theo Green took over the business in 2020. Brave Bison, which has seen its shares rise by nearly a fifth over the last year, counts LinkedIn and New Balance among its clients. Last year, it bought the podcaster and entrepreneur Steven Bartlett's social media and influencer agency, SocialChain.

The deal comes at a time when sports rights-owners are turning to data and newer forms of marketing to monetise their properties more effectively, with traditional commercial models being increasingly up-ended. Engage organises fan engagement campaigns across a number of sporting and entertainment properties, including Formula 1, Real Madrid and New Zealand Rugby. It is also a partner of the International Cricket Council, with which it worked on this year's T20 World Cup, when England lost to India in the semi-finals. Engage has been working on a potential sale of the business since the summer, having hired corporate financiers from KPMG to advise on talks with bidders. Adding it to Brave Bison will combine it with a group which already works with rights-holders including the Ryder, Cup, Australian Open tennis and Le Mans. Engage was founded by Gregg Oldfield, who led a management buyout from Endemol Sport in 2012. It describes itself as the largest independent agency in sport, and is similar in some respects to - albeit smaller than - Two Circles, which was sold to a private equity firm earlier this year. Mr Oldfield will lead the combined groups' sports and entertainment division. Brave Bison could not be reached for comment on Sunday.

NoneMoldova's Path to EU: Defence Strategy Sparks Political DebateTrump says he can't guarantee tariffs won't raise US prices and won't rule out revenge prosecutions
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks rose to records Tuesday after Donald Trump’s latest talk about tariffs created only some ripples on Wall Street, even if they could roil the global economy were they to take effect. The S&P 500 climbed 0.6% to top the all-time high it set a couple weeks ago. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 123 points, or 0.3%, to its own record set the day before, while the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6% as Microsoft and Big Tech led the way. Stock markets abroad mostly fell after President-elect Trump said he plans to impose sweeping new tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China once he takes office. But the movements were mostly modest. Stock indexes were down 0.1% in Shanghai and nearly flat in Hong Kong, while Canada’s main index edged down by less than 0.1%. Trump has often praised the use of tariffs , but investors are weighing whether his latest threat will actually become policy or is just an opening point for negotiations. For now, the market seems to be taking it more as the latter. The consequences otherwise for markets and the global economy could be painful. Unless the United States can prepare alternatives for the autos, energy products and other goods that come from Mexico, Canada and China, such tariffs would raise the price of imported items all at once and make households poorer, according to Carl Weinberg and Rubeela Farooqi, economists at High Frequency Economics. They would also hurt profit margins for U.S. companies, while raising the threat of retaliatory tariffs by other countries. And unlike tariffs in Trump’s first term, his latest proposal would affect products across the board. General Motors sank 9%, and Ford Motor fell 2.6% because both import automobiles from Mexico. Constellation Brands, which sells Modelo and other Mexican beer brands in the United States, dropped 3.3%. The value of the Mexican peso fell 1.8% against the U.S. dollar. Beyond the pain such tariffs would cause U.S. households and businesses, they could also push the Federal Reserve to slow or even halt its cuts to interest rates. The Fed had just begun easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high a couple months ago to offer support for the job market . While lower interest rates can boost the economy, they can also offer more fuel for inflation. “Many” officials at the Fed’s last meeting earlier this month said they should lower rates gradually, according to minutes of the meeting released Tuesday afternoon. The talk about tariffs overshadowed another mixed set of profit reports from U.S. retailers that answered few questions about how much more shoppers can keep spending. They’ll need to stay resilient after helping the economy avoid a recession, despite the high interest rates imposed by the Fed to get inflation under control. A report on Tuesday from the Conference Board said confidence among U.S. consumers improved in November, but not by as much as economists expected. Kohl’s tumbled 17% after its results for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ expectations. CEO Tom Kingsbury said sales remain soft for apparel and footwear. A day earlier, Kingsbury said he plans to step down as CEO in January. Ashley Buchanan, CEO of Michaels and a retail veteran, will replace him. Best Buy fell 4.9% after likewise falling short of analysts’ expectations. Dick’s Sporting Goods topped forecasts for the latest quarter thanks to a strong back-to-school season, but its stock lost an early gain to fall 1.4%. Still, more stocks rose in the S&P 500 than fell. J.M. Smucker had one of the biggest gains and climbed 5.7% after topping analysts’ expectations for the latest quarter. CEO Mark Smucker credited strength for its Uncrustables, Meow Mix, Café Bustelo and Jif brands. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up U.S. indexes. Gains of 3.2% for Amazon and 2.2% for Microsoft were the two strongest forces lifting the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 34.26 points to 6,021.63. The Dow gained 123.74 to 44,860.31, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 119.46 to 19,174.30. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady following their big drop from a day before driven by relief following Trump’s pick for Treasury secretary. The yield on the 10-year Treasury inched up to 4.29% from 4.28% late Monday, but it’s still well below the 4.41% level where it ended last week. In the crypto market, bitcoin continued to pull back after topping $99,000 for the first time late last week. It’s since dipped back toward $91,000, according to CoinDesk. It’s a sharp turnaround from the bonanza that initially took over the crypto market following Trump’s election. That boom had also appeared to have spilled into some corners of the stock market. Strategists at Barclays Capital pointed to stocks of unprofitable companies, along with other areas that can be caught up in bursts of optimism by smaller-pocketed “retail” investors.
