Researchers have developed an extension of the partitioned local depth (PaLD) algorithm, named online PaLD, designed for semi-supervised applications. This new approach allows for the efficient extension of a pre-computed cohesion network to new data points, making larger datasets accessible for exact analysis. Initial applications demonstrate its potential in online anomaly detection and semi-supervised classification within healthcare datasets. AI

Linda McGill, an Australian long-distance swimmer, completed the first circumnavigation swim around Hong Kong Island on May 22, 1976. The 45km swim took just over 17 hours, starting and ending at Repulse Bay beach. McGill, a former Olympic athlete, expressed extreme exhaustion but also a willingness to repeat the feat for a significant monetary reward. AI
