3 . A deep neural (神经系统的) network trained to restore ancient Greek texts can do so with 72% accuracy when used by historians, suggests a Nature paper. The findings could assist with the restoration and sort of newly discovered or uncertain inscriptions (碑文) with improved speed and accuracy, advancing our understanding of ancient history.
To understand the history of ancient civilizations, historians study the inscriptions created by past individuals, written directly on materials- such as stone, pottery or metal- that have survived until today. However, many inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. Their texts are now vague and their date of writing is uncertain. Specialists in the study of inscriptions can reconstruct missing texts, but their traditional methods are highly complex and time-consuming.
To overcome the restrictions of current epigraphic methods, Yannis Assael, Thea Sommerschield and their colleagues tested a deep neural network (named Ithaca), a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that was trained to restore, date and place ancient Greek inscriptions. The authors found that Ithaca could achieve 62% accuracy when used alone to restore damaged texts, and 72% accuracy when it is used by a historian. Additionally, Ithaca could also help to determine inscriptions’ place and date of writing; in their experiments, it attributed inscriptions to their original locations with 71% accuracy and dated them to less than 30 years from the date ranges proposed by historians.
The findings could unlock the cooperative potential between artificial intelligence and historians, and improve our understanding of human history.
Common fields such as education, healthcare, catering, and industry have long been dominated by artificial intelligence, and this technology is now finding its way into relatively niche (小众) fields to more fully exploit its talents. Archaeology (考古学) is one of its latest fields.

C.Historians are able to recover the texts of ancient inscriptions totally. |
D.Experts are capable of comprehending inscriptions despite complexity. |
A.Doubtful. | B.Concerned. | C.Promising. | D.Opposing. |

4 . The latest housing trend in America has nothing to do with decoration, but rather the rise of intergenerational roommates. Described as separated by at least one generation, intergenerational roommate arrangements are growing in the United States, and intergenerational houses have increased four times since 1971.
Pick your explanation — growing isolation among the elderly, rising rents, average life-expectancy increasing, an aging population, or rising college tuition, the fact of the matter is that older folks have space available, and tend to be happy to have a young person around.
In March 2021, there were 59. 7 million U. S. residents who lived with multiple generations under one roof.
“It was perfect-Judith has become like my family,” said Nadia Abdullah, a 25-year-old robotics student who in 2019 moved in with the 64-year-old lawyer, Judith. The arrangement of $700 a month plus help around the house has put her just 6-miles from Boston, and 30 minutes from her robotics job in Beverly Mass. Judith and Nadia were matched together thanks to Nesterly, a renting center specifically designed to create intergenerational roommates.
“Through Nesterly, I lived with Sarah while attending Harvard,” writes a young Nesterly reviewer named Kaplan who provided the exact sort of insight into the service one would imagine. “She provided the type of profound knowledge you just can’t Google-showing me how to garden, to cut a fish, and inject French Romanticism into life.”
Biologically-speaking, an arrangement such as Sarah and Kaplan is kind of the natural state of humanity. Scholars believe this is because our intelligence and life experiences, passed down to the next generation, acts as a secondary way to ensure our genetics are passed on; i. e. if you can live long enough to explain to your children and grandchildren exactly which mushrooms they can eat, which snakes are poisonous, how to hunt with a bow and arrow, those offspring will have a better chance of survival.

D.The reason why intergenerational roommates exist. |
5 . Since 2018, Jason has been helping sick kids become superheroes. After watching his then one-year-old daughter Angela undergo chemotherapy (化疗), he came up with the idea of “Supertees”. Designed with a cape, the shirts act as a virtual armour (盔甲) for children fighting the worst villain of all- cancer.
“Sitting by her hospital bed I. knew there was nothing I could do to help Angela, until I noticed how hard it was to change her clothes while she was connected to various monitors. This is when the idea for the Supertee was born,” says Jason, whose daughter had a rare cancer then.
Created to look like a superhero costume, for Jason, the medical garments are all about enabling children to see themselves as the strong superheroes they idolise. “We want these kids to feel like, and be recognized as, the heroes that we see them as, “he tells.
Now Jason has teamed up with Disney to launch a new Marvel Edition tee. And he’s got some very “super” friends helping him out! Actors Larson and Chris have lent their support, sharing special video messages for the kids who receive a new Supertee modelled after their costumes.
The collaboration with Disney is special for Jason. “I promised I would take her to Disneyland the moment we could leave the hospital, “ says Jason, a pledge they happily fulfilled.
Since June 2018, Jason and his team have delivered more than 13, 000 Supertees to sick children in hospitals around Australia, including Melbourne schoolboy Riley Sinclair, who was diagnosed with a serious disease at just seven years old.
For Riley’s mum Tammy, the Supertee was a game changer for her son, now 11, helping him feel less afraid and making hospital visits more comfortable. “When Riley puts his tee on, his whole personality will change and he feels like he can face anything. It’s amazing!” explains Tammy.
