Tonghua Dongbao has received a drug registration certificate for its liraglutide injection from Nicaragua's health regulatory authority. This approval for the diabetes treatment marks a significant expansion for the company in the Nicaraguan market, complementing its existing insulin product line and aiding international business growth. The company also noted that nearly half of the workers involved in a Shanxi mine explosion were not found in the system. AI

Two new research papers introduce novel approaches to conformal prediction, a method for quantifying uncertainty in machine learning models. The first paper, "Decoupled Conformal Optimisation," proposes a train-tune-calibrate framework that uses independent data splits for structural selection and final calibration, leading to smaller prediction sets and interval widths on various benchmarks. The second paper, "Decomposition-Based Modular Conformal Prediction," extends conformal prediction to two-stage modeling, allowing for the attribution of uncertainty to specific pipeline stages and offering diagnostic advantages over standard methods.
