[時事英文] Alzheimer’s Prediction May Be Found in Writing Tests
沒想到英文寫作可以用來預測阿爾茨海默症。
受試者當中應該沒有第二語言學習者吧。

Alzheimer’s Prediction May Be Found in Writing Tests
阿爾茨海默症可以預測嗎?寫作測試也許提供了答案
Is it possible to predict who will develop Alzheimer’s disease simply by looking at writing patterns years before there are symptoms? According to a new study by IBM researchers, the answer is yes. And, they and others say that Alzheimer’s is just the beginning. People with a wide variety of neurological illnesses have distinctive language patterns that, investigators suspect, may serve as early warning signs of their diseases.
• Alzheimer’s disease 阿爾茨海默症
• symptoms 癥狀、症狀
• according to a new study 根據一個新研究
• a wide variety of 多種~的
• neurological illnesses 神經系統疾病
• distinctive language patterns 獨特的語言模式
• an early warning sign of ~的早期預警訊號
有沒有可能在出現癥狀之前的幾年裡,僅僅通過觀察書寫模式來預測誰會患上阿爾茨海默症? 根據IBM研究人員的一項新研究,答案是肯定的。而且,他們和其他一些研究人員表示,阿爾茨海默症的預測只是開始。研究人員懷疑,患有多種神經系統疾病的人都有著獨特的語言模式,可能是他們疾病的早期預警信號。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The researchers examined the subjects’ word usage with an artificial intelligence program that looked for subtle differences in language. It identified one group of subjects who were more repetitive in their word usage at that earlier time when all of them were cognitively normal. These subjects also made errors, such as spelling words wrongly or inappropriately capitalizing them, and they used telegraphic language, meaning language that has a simple grammatical structure and is missing subjects and words like “the,” “is” and “are.”
• word usage 詞彙使用情況
• subtle differences 細微差別
• artificial intelligence 人工智慧
• repetitive 重複的
• telegraphic language* 電報式語言
• simple grammatical structure 簡單的語法結構
研究人員利用一個人工智慧程序,檢查受試者的詞彙使用情況,尋找語言上的細微差別。他們鑒定出一組受試者,在早期所有人的認知能力都正常的情況下,他們的用詞重複情況更為嚴重。這些測試對象還會犯一些錯誤,比如拼寫錯誤或者大寫使用不當,而且會使用電報式語言——語法結構簡單,漏掉主語以及「the」、「is」和「are」這樣的詞。
*telegraphic language is speech during the two-word stage of language acquisition in children, which is laconic and efficient but lack of function words, tense and plural endings on nouns.
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The members of that group turned out to be the people who developed Alzheimer’s disease. The A.I. program predicted, with 75 percent accuracy, who would get Alzheimer’s disease, according to results published recently in The Lancet journal EClinicalMedicine. “We had no prior assumption that word usage would show anything,” said Ajay Royyuru, vice president of health care and life sciences research at IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, N.Y., where the A.I. analysis was done.
• develop a disease 患上疾病
• with % accuracy 準確率達~%
• no prior assumption 沒有先想到、先假設到
• usage (詞語或語言的)用法
• A.I. analysis 人工智慧分析
這群人後來都患上了阿爾茨海默症。根據《柳葉刀》(The Lancet)子刊《臨床醫學》(EClinicalMedicine)最近發表的研究結果,該人工智慧能夠預測誰將患上阿爾茨海默症,準確率達75%。「我們之前沒有想到用詞情況還有這個用途,」紐約州約克敦高地的IBM托馬斯·沃森研究中心(IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center)醫療保健和生命科學研究副總裁阿賈伊·羅伊尤魯(Ajay Royyuru)說。人工智慧分析就是在該中心進行的。

ORACLE vs SAP ศึกซอฟต์แวร์องค์กรล้านล้าน / โดย ลงทุนแมน
หากพูดถึงบริษัทซอฟต์แวร์มูลค่ามากสุดในโลก
อันดับที่ 1 Microsoft 25.3 ล้านล้านบาท
อันดับที่ 2 Oracle 6.7 ล้านล้านบาท...
Continue ReadingOracle vs sap trillion enterprise software battle / by investing man
If it comes to the most valuable software company in the world
1nd place Microsoft 25.3 trillion baht
2ND PLACE ORACLE 6.7 trillion baht
3ND PLACE SAP 4.0 trillion baht
From the above rank
A lot of people are familiar with Bill Gates's Microsoft.
But probably not familiar with oracle and sap
Because the customers of both companies are not common..
So who are their customers?
Invest, man will tell you about it.
In fact, both oracle and sap customers are the company..
These two companies do business, software development, data planning and corporate resources.
AKA ERP (enterprise resource planning)
SAP ย่อมาจาก System Applications & Products in Data Processing
German nationality company, founded in 1972 by 5 former IBM employees.
While Oracle is an American nationality company
Founded in 1977 by Mr. Larry Ellison, Bob Miner and Ed Oates
So why do companies need erp software
Assuming a simple example is..
Unilever produces dove shampoo
After the production, I sent items to the inventory.
Last step. If order will be delivered to the supplier..
The question is if our business size is so big
How do we know if the inventory is actually out of stock
So the sales we record match the account side?
This has become a problem.
That caused corporate data structuring software for over 40 years ago.
Such software is designed and developed for all types of business.
From production side cuddle supply chain and all flows together on the accounting side.
Simple summary is sap and Oracle Design Software for companies to apply to business and plan all information on the same platform..
When the factory has shipped items, the inventory knows right away.
Inventory has been cut. Sales Department knows right away.
Sales Department has posted the wrong numbers. Know immediately and can fix it in time.
Most Manufacturing-related businesses, factories, inventory and offices are in different places.
But erp brings together the information of these sources.
Meaning the erp system occurs in real-time resulting in business data more efficient.
Including reducing potential errors on the way..
So what are the results of both companies?
SAP COMPANY
Year 2015 Income 7.45 billion baht. Profit of 1.09 billion baht.
Year 2016 Income 7.91 billion baht. Profit of 1.31 billion baht.
Year 2017 Income 8.41 billion baht. Profit of 1.44 billion baht.
Oracle Company
Year 2015 Income 1.16 trillion baht. Profit of 2.79 billion baht.
Year 2016 Income 1.18 trillion baht. Profit of 2.93 billion baht.
Year 2017 Income 1.25 trillion baht. Profit of 1.19 billion baht.
So what is the income structure of both companies?
SAP INCOME FROM CLOUD AND License 83 % and services 17 %
Oracle Income comes from cloud and license 82 %, hardware 10 % AND SERVICES 8 %
Essentially, software revenue comes from license and later start adjusting models to the era through cloud technology.
This makes the software that seems difficult to use. It's more accessible to smaller entrepreneurs.
Including it consulting companies that buy copyright to design systems for organizations like Accenture, deloitte or ey (Ernst & young) have more playful..
Also, if the income is divided by each region, company.
SAP has a customer in hand 425,000 account
From Asian Zone 16 %
American Zone 40 %
Europe, middle east and Africa zone (Emea) 44 %
Including Partnerships with 18,000 other companies covering 180 countries.
While Oracle has a customer on hand 430,000 account
From Asian Zone 16 %
American Zone 55 %
Europe, middle east and Africa zone (Emea) 29 %
Oracle can see that the American Zone Income is over half of the total income.
Let's go back. SAP EARN MONEY FROM BOTH AMERICA and emea group equally..
Ending with the value of both companies
Oracle 6.7 trillion baht
SAP 4.0 trillion baht
Getting here, we can see that all 2 companies are competing close..
However, behind the success of both sap and oracle should be from the charm of business to business that pays for good for a company called trust.
By this trust, there is a bet that
" all our company information, we will leave it to you.."
