How the brain recognizes faces MIT researchers and their colleagues have developed a new computational model of the human brain’s face-recognition mechanism that seems to capture aspects of... Read more
Machine-learning system doesn’t require costly hand-annotated data. In recent years, computers have gotten remarkably good at recognizing speech and images: Think of the dictation software o... Read more
Physicians have long used visual judgment of medical images to determine the course of cancer treatment. A new program package from Fraunhofer researchers reveals changes in images and facil... Read more
Machine-learning techniques that mimic human recognition and dreaming processes are being deployed in the search for habitable worlds beyond our solar system. A deep belief neural network, c... Read more
Crowd-sourced data yields system that determines where mobile-device users are looking. For the past 40 years, eye-tracking technology — which can determine where in a visual scene people ar... Read more
Machine learning has come of age in public health reporting according to researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University School of Informatics and Computing at Indiana Univ... Read more
It’s happened to many of us. We eat at a restaurant with less than ideal hygiene and come down with a nasty case of food poisoning. Foodborne illness afflicts 48 million people annuall... Read more
For most of human history, the discovery of new materials has been a crapshoot. But now, UConn researchers have systematized the search with machine learning that can scan millions of theore... Read more
From gene mapping to space exploration, humanity continues to generate ever-larger sets of data — far more information than people can actually process, manage or understand. Machine learnin... Read more
Human learning is a complex, sometimes mysterious process. Most of us have had experiences where we have struggled to learn something new, but also times when we’ve picked something up... Read more
The price fluctuation of fine wines can now be predicted more accurately using a novel artificial intelligence approach developed by researchers at UCL. The method could be used to help fine... Read more
After 60 years of false starts, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with probability and statistics has led to a marriage of machine learning, control theory and neuroscience tha... Read more
One of the last bastions of human mastery over computers is about to fall to the relentless onslaught of machine learning algorithms. Read more: Why Neural Networks Look Set to Thrash the Be... Read more
NEIL program labels images, learns associations with minimal help from people A computer program called the Never Ending Image Learner (NEIL) is running 24 hours a day at Carnegie Mellon Uni... Read more
