Why And When Should You Choose Assisted Living

There are many seniors and elders who would like to age gracefully in their homes in the company of their loved ones. On the other hand, there are others who believe that they will be better off living under special and professional care. Hence, there is a growing demand for assisted living homes. There are obviously a number of benefits and advantages as far as these assisted living homes are concerned. But you may not have the right knowledge of information about these assisted living facilities. This might not help you to have a clear idea as to why you should choose such facilities in the first place. We are happy to share some obvious and main reasons as to why it might be a good idea to choose a good assisted living facility in Long Island.

Safety

Safety is one of the most important reasons why it makes sense to choose an assisted living facility. Elderly people who live in homes alone are often vulnerable to a number of threats and hazards. This could include serious falls, burglaries and medication mishaps. When elderly people choose good assisted living facilities, these problems are addressed. These homes provide a comfortable and secure environment for seniors. They also have secure entrances and most of them also have alert systems in apartments. This could be helpful in requesting for help in case of an emergency. You also have the services of direct care staff and they are available day and night for offering assistance for the seniors in urgent situations and on a routine basis.

Socialization

Losing touch with other friends and becoming lonely is a huge emotional and mental problem for seniors. That is one of the main reasons many elders prefer staying in their homes.  They believe that they will have the right group of like-minded people for socializing and other such purposes. Apart from the inmates, they also will have the chance to keep in touch with staff, and even volunteers. There are also many events and activities that are a part of all assisted living facilities in Syosset. They also can get access to reading libraries, clubs, cooking courses, and other such avenues. Hence, if you are a senior who likes to mix with people, assisted living facilities could be the best way forward.

Dining With Others

Dining with other residents is perhaps one of the best ways of socializing and this is something that is an integral part of an assisted living facility. These dining facilities create the right atmosphere for the elders and therefore they eat the right quantity of food. Further, the assisted living facilities take care of the nutrition requirements and prevent under-eating or overeating by the seniors and elders.

Peace Of Mind

Home living often snatches away peace of mind for many elders. Staying with loved ones is a great thing but often when there is a need for special assistance, it could sour relationships. Even one’s own daughters and sons may not have the time and inclination for taking care of the special needs of elders, especially for elders who suffer from minor dementia and other such old-related problems.

Hence, identifying the right needs and requirements could most certainly go a long way in making the right choice of assisted living.

Twitter bags deep learning talent behind London startup, Fabula AI

Twitter has just announced it has picked up London-based Fabula AI. The deep learning startup has been developing technology to try to identify online disinformation by looking at patterns in how fake stuff vs genuine news spreads online — making it an obvious fit for the rumor-riled social network.

Social media giants remain under increasing political pressure to get a handle on online disinformation to ensure that manipulative messages don’t, for example, get a free pass to fiddle with democratic processes.

Facebook, Google and Twitter told to do more to fight fake news ahead of European elections

Twitter says the acquisition of Fabula will help it build out its internal machine learning capabilities — writing that the UK startup’s “world-class team of machine learning researchers” will feed an internal research group it’s building out, led by Sandeep Pandey, its head of ML/AI engineering.

This research group will focus on “a few key strategic areas such as natural language processing, reinforcement learning, ML ethics, recommendation systems, and graph deep learning” — now with Fabula co-founder and chief scientist, Michael Bronstein, as a leading light within it.

Bronstein is chair in machine learning & pattern recognition at Imperial College, London — a position he will remain while leading graph deep learning research at Twitter.

Fabula’s chief technologist, Federico Monti — another co-founder, who began the collaboration that underpin’s the patented technology with Bronstein while at the University of Lugano, Switzerland — is also joining Twitter.

“We are really excited to join the ML research team at Twitter, and work together to grow their team and capabilities. Specifically, we are looking forward to applying our graph deep learning techniques to improving the health of the conversation across the service,” said Bronstein in a statement.

“This strategic investment in graph deep learning research, technology and talent will be a key driver as we work to help people feel safe on Twitter and help them see relevant information,” Twitter added. “Specifically, by studying and understanding the Twitter graph, comprised of the millions of Tweets, Retweets and Likes shared on Twitter every day, we will be able to improve the health of the conversation, as well as products including the timeline, recommendations, the explore tab and the onboarding experience.”

Terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.

We covered Fabula’s technology and business plan back in February when it announced its “new class” of machine learning algorithms for detecting what it colloquially badged ‘fake news’.

Its approach to the problem of online disinformation looks at how it spreads on social networks — and therefore who is spreading it — rather than focusing on the content itself, as some other approaches do.

Fabula has patented algorithms that use the emergent field of “Geometric Deep Learning” to detect online disinformation — where the datasets in question are so large and complex that traditional machine learning techniques struggle to find purchase. Which does really sound like a patent designed with big tech in mind.

Fabula likens how ‘fake news’ spreads on social media vs real news as akin to “a very simplified model of how a disease spreads on the network”.

One advantage of the approach is it looks to be language agnostic (at least barring any cultural differences which might also impact how fake news spread).

Back in February the startup told us it was aiming to build an open, decentralised “truth-risk scoring platform” — akin to a credit referencing agency, just focused on content not cash.

It’s not clear from Twitter’s blog post whether the core technologies it will be acquiring with Fabula will now stay locked up within its internal research department — or be shared more widely, to help other platforms grappling with online disinformation challenges.

The startup had intended to offer an API for platforms and publishers later this year.

But of course building a platform is a major undertaking. And, in the meanwhile, Twitter — with its pressing need to better understand the stuff its network spreads — came calling.

A source close to the matter told us that Fabula’s founders decided that selling to Twitter instead of pushing for momentum behind a vision of a decentralized, open platform because the exit offered them more opportunity to have “real and deep impact, at scale”.

Though it is also still not certain what Twitter will end up doing with the technology it’s acquiring. And it at least remains possible that Twitter could choose to make it made open across platforms.

“That’ll be for the team to figure out with Twitter down the line,” our source added.

A spokesman for Twitter did not respond directly when we asked about its plans for the patented technology but he told us: “There’s more to come on how we will integrate Fabula’s technology where it makes sense to strengthen our systems and operations in the coming months.  It will likely take us some time to be able to integrate their graph deep learning algorithms into our ML platform. We’re bringing Fabula in for the team, tech and mission, which are all aligned with our top priority: Health.”
