Artificial Intelligence Spots Hidden Signs of Depression in Students’ Facial Expressions
cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/37560470
Depression is often linked to changes in facial expressions. However, the link between mild depression, known as subthreshold depression, and changes in facial expressions remains unclear. Now, researchers have investigated whether subthreshold depression shows changes in facial expressions in Japanese young adults using artificial intelligence. The findings reveal distinct muscle movement patterns related to depressive symptoms which may help detect depression early, paving the way for timely and preventative mental health care.

All systems go at SFO! Waymo has received our pilot permit allowing for commercial operations at San Francisco International Airport.
We’ll partner with SFO to prepare our operations at the airport in phases, beginning with employee testing soon ahead of welcoming Bay Area riders. Pickups and dropoffs will initially start at SFO’s Kiss & Fly area – a short AirTrain ride from the terminals – with the intention to explore other locations at the airport in the future.
This is a major milestone that strengthens Waymo’s impact on the region and offers residents and visitors an innovative way to travel. With years of experience serving riders at Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX) and operations beginning soon at San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC), we’re accelerating our efforts to serve more airports in more cities as we scale.
“Across San Francisco, we are expanding safe, reliable, and modern transportation options—supporting our city’s economic comeback, boosting our tourism industry, and connecting residents and visitors to everything our city has to offer,” said Mayor Lurie. “We announced in March that we wanted visitors to be able to ride in a Waymo as soon as they arrived in San Francisco, and today, we are taking another important step to get there.”
“Bringing the Waymo experience to San Francisco International Airport is about more than just a ride—it’s about providing a safe, reliable, magical way for Bay Area residents and global visitors to connect with the places and people that matter most,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO, Waymo. “We’re grateful for the partnership with SFO and the vision of Mayor Lurie in making this a reality.”

So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.
Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.
Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

Trump’s Selective Memory: “Not Familiar” With Assassinated Democratic Lawmaker While Raging About “Left-wing Violence”
Donald Trump’s response to political violence this week reveals something more sinister than mere hypocrisy—it’s the deliberate construction of a false reality where only certain victims matter and only certain perpetrators exist. After days of raging about “left-wing violence” following Charlie Kirk’s shooting, Trump was asked about Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated by a Trump supporter just months ago. His response exposed the entire game.
