Making AI algorithms show their work
Artificial intelligence (AI) learning machines can be trained to solve problems and puzzles on their own instead of using rules that we made for them. But often, researchers do not know what rules the machines make for themselves. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Assistant Professor Peter Koo developed a new method that quizzes a machine-learning program to figure out what rules it learned on its own and if they are the right ones.

Beautiful or handsome? Neural language models try their hand at word substitution
Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have run a first of its kind large-scale computational study of the most advanced neural language models to see how they handle lexical substitution, a crucial task in natural language processing. The paper was presented at the 28th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING-2020).
An automated box on wheels—with personality
Robots are becoming more and more omnipresent in our lives, even though we may not notice. New research shows that when a boxy motorized hospital robot can talk, people find it funny and engaging. And that may help people be more willing to accept new technologies, like robots, in their everyday lives.
