Frequency-dependent circuits anchored in the dorsal and ventral left anterior insula
Can traditional computational analysis and machine learning help compensate for inadequate peer review of drug-repurposing papers in the context of an infodemic?
Dust dominates high-altitude snow darkening and melt over high-mountain Asia
Dust deposition in high-mountain Asia lowers snow albedo and hastens melt. Satellite data and models show that dust arrives via transport in elevated aerosol layers and outweighs black carbon impacts at high altitudes, suggesting a growing importance of dust on snowmelt as snowlines rise with warming.
Many Top AI Researchers Get Financial Backing From Big Tech
A study finds that 58 percent of faculty at four prominent universities have received grants, fellowships, or other financial support from 14 tech firms.
TikTok and AI: The reason why you spend all your time on the app
We’re not going to waste any time trying to explain TikTok because you probably know what it is already. So how is TikTok using AI to conquer the world? Read on to find out….
Nvidia’s GTC event will shine a spotlight on 200 AI startups
More than 200 new artificial intelligence startups will appear at Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC) in some form from Monday through Friday.
TRPS1: a highly sensitive and specific marker for breast carcinoma, especially for triple-negative breast cancer
Dust deposition in high-mountain Asia lowers snow albedo and hastens melt. Satellite data and models show that dust arrives via transport in elevated aerosol layers and outweighs black carbon impacts at high altitudes, suggesting a growing importance of dust on snowmelt as snowlines rise with warming.
AI Weekly: Palantir, Twitter, and building public trust into the AI design process
An algorithm registry like the kind proposed by cities like Amsterdam and Helsinki could empower people to keep businesses and governments accountable.
IBM joins NIH effort to diagnose schizophrenia using AI
IBM says it will join a U.S. National Institutes of Health effort to apply data analysis to finding diagnostic techniques and treatments for schizophrenia.
ProBeat: Toyota’s upside-down robot is innovative and impractical
Toyota Research Institute's ceiling-mounted gantry robot removes one impracticality only to create another. Mobility will be key to progress in robotics.
50 million artificial neurons to facilitate machine-learning research
Fifty million artificial neurons—a number roughly equivalent to the brain of a small mammal—were delivered from Portland, Oregon-based Intel Corp. to Sandia National Laboratories last month, said Sandia project leader Craig Vineyard.
Proximity-tracking and a new app: How to run the London marathon in the midst of a pandemic
The London marathon is going ahead this week-end – with quite a few less runners and a lot more tech.
Hey Google, it's time you listened closely to what our kids are saying
Engineers from UNSW Sydney are leading a drive to sample the voices of Australian kids so that they can be better understood by devices that use voice recognition software.
Intel inks agreement with Sandia National Laboratories to explore neuromorphic computing
Intel says it has inked an agreement with Sandia National Laboratories to explore novel types of neuromorphic computing research.
Facebook uses AI to help people support each other
Facebook has deployed an AI system which matches people needing support with local heroes offering it.“United we stand, divided we fall” is a clichéd saying—but tackling a pandemic is a collective effort. While we’ve all seen people taking selfish actions, they’ve been more than balanced out by those helping to support their communities.
Researchers spot origins of stereotyping in AI language technologies
A team of researchers has identified a set of cultural stereotypes that are introduced into artificial intelligence models for language early in their development—a finding that adds to our understanding of the factors that influence results yielded by search engines and other AI-driven tools.
Back-saving underwear and the magic of assistive fabric
Low-profile elastic clothing can work wonders for easing strain, according to new research.
Tool helps clear biases from computer vision
Researchers at Princeton University have developed a tool that flags potential biases in sets of images used to train artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The work is part of a larger effort to remedy and prevent the biases that have crept into AI systems that influence everything from credit services to courtroom sentencing programs.
Facebook’s AI matches people in need with those willing to assist
Facebook's machine learning algorithms can match those in need of help during the pandemic with those willing to provide help, and vice versa.
