Scientists improve sideline viewing capabilities in AI systems.

Peripheral vision, the ability to see objects outside of our direct line of sight, has been simulated by researchers at MIT to be used with AI technology. Unlike human vision, AI lacks the capability to perceive peripherally. Enhancing AI with this ability could greatly enhance its proactivity in identifying threats, and could even predict if…

Scientists improve side vision capabilities in AI systems.

A team from MIT has created an image dataset aimed at simulating peripheral vision in machine learning models, a characteristic which AI typically lacks. This could improve the models' ability to recognise approaching threats and predict whether a human driver would spot an oncoming object. In experiments, these models improved in terms of hazard detection,…

Scientists employ generative artificial intelligence to tackle intricate queries in the field of physics.

Researchers from MIT and the University of Basel in Switzerland have developed a new machine-learning framework that can map phase diagrams for novel physical systems automatically. By applying generative artificial intelligence models, the team has developed a more efficient method for tracking and understanding phase transitions in water and other complex physical systems, which offers…

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,…
