Physicians often face greater challenges in diagnosing diseases when examining pictures of darker-toned skin.

A study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) involving over 1,000 doctors, including dermatologists and general practitioners, revealed that accuracy of diagnosing skin diseases based on images is lower when the patient has darker skin. Dermatologists correctly identified 38% of the images they viewed, but this rate dropped to 34% when the images displayed darker…

Physicians often face challenges in identifying diseases through images of individuals with darker skin tones.

A study conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers has revealed that physicians are less adept at diagnosing skin diseases in patients with darker skin, solely based on image analysis. This disparity was revealed in a study that involved over 1,000 dermatologists and general practitioners. The accuracy of dermatologists in characterizing images of darker…

HPI-MIT’s joint design research effort fosters formidable teams.

The recent ransomware attack on ChangeHealthcare underscores the disruptive nature of supply chain attacks. Such attacks are becoming increasingly prominent and often target large corporations through the small and medium-sized vendors in their corporate supply chains. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany, are investigating different organizational…

The brain’s language network has to exert more effort when dealing with complicated and unfamiliar sentences.

Researchers from MIT, led by neuroscience associate professor Evelina Fedorenko, have used an artificial language network to identify which types of sentences most effectively engage the brain’s language processing centers. The study showed that sentences of complex structure or unexpected meaning created strong responses, while straightforward or nonsensical sentences did little to engage these areas.…

The brain’s language network has to exert more effort when dealing with sentences that are intricate and unknown.

Researchers from MIT have been using a language processing AI to study what type of phrases trigger activity in the brain's language processing areas. They found that complex sentences requiring decoding or unfamiliar words triggered higher responses in these areas than simple or nonsensical sentences. The AI was trained on 1,000 sentences from diverse sources,…

The brain’s language network has to put in more effort when dealing with complex and unfamiliar sentences.

Scientists from MIT have used an artificial language network to investigate the types of sentences likely to stimulate the brain's primary language processing areas. The research shows that more complicated phrases, owing to their unconventional grammatical structures or unexpected meanings, generate stronger responses in these centres. However, direct and obvious sentences prompt barely any engagement,…

Improved coding, planning, and robotics performance can be attributed to the enhancement brought about by natural language.

Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) presented three papers at the International Conference on Learning Representations, indicating breakthroughs in Large Language Models' (LLMs) abilities to form useful abstractions. The team used everyday words for context in code synthesis, AI planning, and robotic navigation and manipulation. The three frameworks, LILO, Ada,…

Intricate and unfamiliar phrases require more effort from the brain’s language processing system.

With the assistance of an artificial language network, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what types of sentences serve to stimulate the brain's primary language processing regions. In a study published in Nature Human Behavior, they revealed that these areas respond more robustly to sentences that display complexity, either due to unconventional grammar or unexpected meaning. Evelina Fedorenko,…

The language network of our brain has to exert more effort when dealing with intricate and unfamiliar sentences.

Neuroscientists at MIT, with the aid of an artificial language network, have determined the type of sentences that most likely activate the brain's main language processing centers. The recently published study demonstrates that sentences which are more complex, either due to exceptional grammar or unexpected meanings, stimulate stronger responses in these regions. On the other…

Intricate and unfamiliar phrases cause the brain’s language system to exert more effort.

In collaboration with an artificial language network, neuroscientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have revealed what type of sentences most significantly engage the brain’s primary language processing areas. The study indicates that sentences featuring unusual grammar or unexpected meaning trigger a heightened response in these language-oriented regions, as opposed to more straightforward phrases, which…
