SampleMatch: A model that automatically retrieves matching drum samples for musical tracks
Machine learning-based computational models have been successfully applied to a broad range of complex information processing tasks, including those that involve retrieving specific data items from large archives. Researchers at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories (CSL) in France have been trying to develop machine learning techniques that could help music producers to easily identify and retrieve specific audio samples from a database.
Using machine learning to find an optimal mixture of metals to create a desired alloy
A large team of researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung GmbH, working with colleagues from Technische Universität Darmstadt, Delft University of Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, has found that it is possible to use machine learning to help metallurgists find the optimal mixture of metals to create a desired alloy.

Computer, is my experiment finished? Researchers discuss the use of AI agents in their research
Everyone knows that the Computer—an artificial intelligence (AI)-like entity—on a Star Trek spaceship does everything from brewing tea to compiling complex analyses of flux data. But how are they used at real research facilities? How can AI agents—computer programs that can act based on a perceived environment—help scientists discover next-generation batteries or quantum materials? Three staff members at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) described how AI agents support scientists using the facility's research tools.
Students help NASA find landslides by training computers to read Reddit
University of British Columbia graduate students have trained computers to "read" news articles about landslides on Reddit to bolster a NASA database, which could improve predictions of when and where these natural disasters will occur.
