In the largest-ever examination of deep learning neural networks trained for auditory tasks, the…
Since the 1970s, finding new antibiotics has been challenging. The World Health Organization now considers the antimicrobial resistance crisis as one of the top 10 global public health threats. Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics, especially when an infection is treated repeatedly. Some bacteria become metabolically inert, avoiding detection by antibiotics that only respond to…
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed an AI system designed to educate users on when to trust an AI's decision-making process - for instance, a radiologist determining if a patient's X-ray shows signs of pneumonia. The training system identifies scenarios where the human should not trust the AI model, automatically…
