Emergent abilities in large language models (LLMs) refer to capabilities present in larger models but absent in smaller ones, a foundational concept that has guided prior research. While studies have identified 67 such emergent abilities through benchmark evaluations, some researchers question whether these are genuine or merely artifacts of the evaluation methods used. In response,… →

Parents and children who have recently immigrated from the Chinese mainland to Hong Kong face various challenges, including psychological and sociocultural adaptation difficulties. In collaboration with community partners, our research team has developed and implemented culturally sensitive and preventive parent-child parallel interventions to enhance positive adaptation among immigrant parents and children. Two interventions were conducted… →
CONCLUSION: This preliminary trial suggests that a streamlined approach to genetic testing using proactively delivered genetic education may reduce barriers to cascade testing for at-risk men, leading to increased uptake. These results should be interpreted cautiously given the select sample and high rate of non-response. →
