As a highlight of BIOHK2025—Asia's premier biotechnology conference and exhibition—Insilico Medicine, a clinical-stage biotechnology company powered by generative AI, will partner with the Hong Kong Biotechnology Association to present a satellite forum themed "Exploring the Frontiers of AI in Drug Discovery, Development, and Beyond", entitled “Towards Pharmaceutical Superintelligence.”

Semantic communications have revolutionized wireless communication in this century. In a new study, SeoulTech researchers have investigated ConcreteSC, a novel digital communication framework that eliminates massive codebooks in semantic communication systems through temperature-controlled concrete distributions. The research demonstrates up to threefold improvements in image quality metrics and 39x faster processing speeds compared to traditional vector quantization methods in wireless communication systems.

Jari Isohanni’s doctoral research in computer science at the University of Vaasa, Finland, demonstrates how smart packaging could become more widely available to the packaging industry in the future. Color-changing printing inks in printed packages and the machine-based recognition of subtle color changes offer cost-effective solutions for industries such as food and beverage, healthcare, logistics, and electronics. Previously, there has been no research on which color recognition method should be used and when. Isohanni's research filled this gap by comparing the applicability of machine learning and color difference methodologies to different situations.
