The artificial-intelligence tool AlphaFold can design proteins to perform specific functions.Credit: Google DeepMind/EMBL-EBI (CC-BY-4.0) Could proteins designed by artificial intelligence (AI) ever be used as bioweapons? In the hope of heading off this possibility — as well as the prospect of burdensome government regulation — researchers today launched an initiative calling for the safe and …
TOPLINE: A large language model (LLM) chatbot demonstrated proficiency in ophthalmology, matching or outperforming specialists in the management of glaucoma and retina cases. METHODOLOGY: Researchers asked 12 attending physicians and three senior trainees from the department of ophthalmology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, to respond to 20 ophthalmological questions …
Scientists say they have developed a “self-driving” lab that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and automated systems to provide in-depth analyses of catalytic reactions used in chemical research and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The new tool, called Fast-Cat, can provide more information in five days than is possible in six months of conventional testing, claim the researchers, who …
Researchers solved a problematic challenge that could slow large language models like ChatGPT in a simple but effective way. Extended human-AI conversations can lead to performance degradation in chatbots powered by advanced large-language machine-learning models such as ChatGPT. Researchers from MIT and other institutions have identified an unexpected root of this issue and created a …
The State University of New York at Buffalo’s Stuart C. Shapiro and colleagues developed SNePS in the late 1970s; since then, it has evolved into an essential tool for artificial intelligence studies. Graph-like structure SNePS utilizes a semantic network model, a graph-like structure with nodes representing concepts or objects and edges indicating relationships or associations …
In the modern era, where speed and effectiveness are vital, improving scheduling procedures is a significant obstacle in multiple sectors. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are computational solid techniques that have emerged as practical tools for addressing this difficulty. The ideas of natural selection and evolution inspire them. Genetic algorithms provide a promising method for solving complex …
One week after announcing Gemini 1.0 Ultra, Google announced additional details about its next generation model, Gemini 1.5. The new iteration comes with an expansion of its context window and the adoption of a “Mixture of Experts” (MoE) architecture, promising to make the AI both faster and more efficient. The new model also includes expanded …
Nearly 75 Indian diaspora scientists may return to India over the next three years to work on multiple science and technology projects under the government’s new fellowship scheme with an outlay of about Rs 80 crore. The first batch of 22 fellows have already been selected and are expected to join the institutes in April …
Summary: Researchers developed a machine-learning tool that accurately identifies individuals at high risk of psychosis through MRI brain scans. This innovative approach, which achieved an 85% accuracy rate in training and 73% using new data, offers a promising avenue for early intervention in psychosis, potentially improving treatment outcomes. The study involved over 2,000 participants from …
Patients with lactose intolerance are usually advised to avoid milk. However, many still consume dairy products despite experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms. Surprisingly, this “unreasonable” strategy may have the benefit of reducing the risk for type 2 diabetes, as shown in a recent American study. “At first glance, the statement of the study seems counterintuitive,” said Robert …
