MIT News – Artificial intelligence Data is the new soil, and in this fertile new ground, MIT researchers are planting more than just pixels. By using synthetic images to train machine learning models, a team of scientists recently surpassed results obtained from traditional “real-image” training methods. At the core of the approach is a system […]Continue reading
MIT News – Artificial intelligence Researchers from MIT and NVIDIA have developed two techniques that accelerate the processing of sparse tensors, a type of data structure that’s used for high-performance computing tasks. The complementary techniques could result in significant improvements to the performance and energy-efficiency of systems like the massive machine-learning models that drive generative […]Continue reading
MIT News – Artificial intelligence Researchers from MIT and Stanford University have devised a new machine-learning approach that could be used to control a robot, such as a drone or autonomous vehicle, more effectively and efficiently in dynamic environments where conditions can change rapidly. This technique could help an autonomous vehicle learn to compensate for […]Continue reading
Coronavirus | The Guardian Symptoms of infection can last two years, but researchers find no lasting cognitive impairment after individuals fully recover The so-called “brain fog” symptom associated with long Covid is comparable to ageing 10 years, researchers have suggested.In a study by King’s College London, researchers investigated the impact of Covid-19 on memory and […]Continue reading
NIMH News Feed In this webinar, researchers will present findings on identifying modifiable targets and mechanisms of action at the individual, family, and systems levels to improve mental health services and inform the development and testing of theory-based interventions that address mental health disparities in bi+ populations.

Coronavirus | The Guardian Researchers conclude lockdown babies are lagging behind after limited interaction during Covid restrictionsAt the age of two, babies born during the pandemic have similar behaviour and development compared with children who were born before Covid-19 arrived – with one exception. Their communication skills lag behind those of their predecessors.These are the […]Continue reading
MIT News – Artificial intelligence Researchers from MIT, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, IBM Research, and elsewhere have developed a new technique for analyzing unlabeled audio and visual data that could improve the performance of machine-learning models used in applications like speech recognition and object detection. The work, for the first time, combines two architectures […]Continue reading
MIT News – Artificial intelligence Using an artificial intelligence algorithm, researchers at MIT and McMaster University have identified a new antibiotic that can kill a type of bacteria that is responsible for many drug-resistant infections. If developed for use in patients, the drug could help to combat Acinetobacter baumannii, a species of bacteria that is […]Continue reading
