TikTok to Enhance Direct Message Features


TikTok, the popular video-sharing app, has recently added new options to its direct messaging (DM) feature. 

Users have been informed of these changes through emails from the company. 

With this move, TikTok is expanding into the realm of private messaging, joining rivals such as YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat. 

This new feature allows users to access DM options through the app's settings and privacy settings. 

Users can now choose from suggested friends, mutual friends, or anyone to send them messages, while also having the option to filter out spam. 


This change has the potential to make TikTok a more versatile messaging app, allowing users to directly communicate with their favorite creators.

Using Machine Learning to Anticipate Rare Catastrophic Occurrences: Earthquakes and Pandemics

Image
  Scientists have developed a new method for predicting rare catastrophic events, such as earthquakes, pandemics, or rogue waves, using a combination of advanced machine learning and sequential sampling techniques, according to researchers from Brown University and MIT.   Traditional predictive models often fail when it comes to forecasting these types of extreme events, as they are statistically so rare that there is not enough data to make accurate predictions. However, the new approach developed by the researchers uses a combination of machine learning and sequential sampling to identify patterns and make predictions about rare events, even with limited data. In the study, the researchers applied this method to identifying parameters and ranges of probabilities for dangerous spikes during a pandemic, predicting rogue waves, and estimating when a ship will crack in half due to stress.  For example, they were able to discover and quantify when rogue waves will form by an...
