Supervised machine learning algorithms signpost significant differences in doctors' performance from open-text reports, even when all reports express a positive sentiment. New research from the Psychometrics Centre http://www.jmir.org/2017/3/e65/
Front end developer? (or know one?) Come work with us in Cambridge on cutting edge apps used by millions of people.

Come work with us! We're starting a project to measure how much people care about sustainability when making financial investment decisions. Perhaps people would prefer that their pension fund wasn't invested in companies that destroy rainforests or avoid paying taxes. And it's supported by various financial companies too so there's world-changing potential.
Please forward to anyone you know who might be interested (if they have a PhD or will be getting one soon).

We are very excited to announce the launch of Predictive World!
Developed in collaboration with SID LEE, Ubisoft and Stinkdigital, Predictive World is an interactive cyber-system that knows a lot about you.
It uses Apply Magic Sauce API and 6.4 billion data points from open resources, such as the WHO and Eurostat, to make over 70 predictions across 250 countries.
... Available in 7 languages, find out just how much a system like this could predict about you, and consider the consequences if it were real*! https://predictiveworld.watchdogs.com.
*Predictive World is for educational and entertainment purposes only, and was inspired by the forthcoming release of Watchdogs 2.
