A Desert Full of LifeSatellite images of the Sahara desert show a dry expanse, the endless rolling dunes we know from movies. Except typical satellite images do not reveal individual trees; however, that doesn't always mean they're not there. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen and NASA trained artificial intelligence to recognize trees and have them take another...
AI making mistakesExamining breast-cancer tumors with artificial intelligence can enhance healthcare efficiency and results. However, specialists must proceed carefully, considering that identical technological jumps previously caused greater false-positive tests rates and over-treatment.That is according to a new article in JAMA Health Forum co-written by Joann G. Elmore, MD, MPH, a scientist at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Rosalinde...
Assistant Professor Marzyeh Ghassemi analyzes how disguised biases in medical data can jeopardize artificial intelligence approaches.While completing her dissertation in computer science at MIT, Marzyeh Ghassemi wrote numerous papers on how machine learning strategies from artificial intelligence could be applied to medical data to anticipate patient outcomes. "It was not till the end of...
A quark gluon plasma after the collision of two heavy nuclei. Credit: TU WienCan machine learning be used to reveal the secrets of the quark-gluon plasma?Yes, it can. However, only with advanced new methods.It can hardly be more complicated. Little particles whir around wildly with extremely high energy, many interactions happen in the...
The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZScientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic neurons that can decode brainwaves. The chip uses information recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to determine which regions of the brain cause epileptic...
