AI model for thyroid cancer diagnosis, with over 90% accuracy and reduced consultation preparation time
An interdisciplinary research team has unveiled the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) model designed to classify both the cancer stage and risk category of thyroid cancer, achieving impressive accuracy exceeding 90%. This innovative AI model promises to significantly cut frontline clinicians' pre-consultation preparation time by approximately 50%, aligning with the HKSAR Government's initiative to harness AI technology in healthcare.
Hidden mechanisms in next-generation AI memory device
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, researchers have identified a breakthrough that could make AI technologies faster and more efficient.
Awkward. Humans are still better than AI at reading the room
Humans are better than current AI models at interpreting social interactions and understanding social dynamics in moving scenes. Researchers believe this is because AI neural networks were inspired by the infrastructure of the part of the brain that processes static images, which is different from the area of the brain that processes dynamic social scenes.
Designing a new way to optimize complex coordinated systems
Using diagrams to represent interactions in multipart systems can provide a faster way to design software improvements.
Right patient, right dose, right time
A new study uses AI to modify drug doses for personalized cancer treatment.
Generative AI masters the art of scent creation
Addressing the challenges of fragrance design, researchers have developed an AI model that can automate the creation of new fragrances based on user-defined scent descriptors. The model uses mass spectrometry profiles of essential oils and corresponding odor descriptors to generate essential oil blends for new scents. This breakthrough is a game-changer for the fragrance industry, moving beyond trial-and-error, enabling rapid and scalable fragrance production.
Current AI risks more alarming than apocalyptic future scenarios
Most people generally are more concerned about the immediate risks of artificial intelligence than they are about a theoretical future in which AI threatens humanity. A new study reveals that respondents draw clear distinctions between abstract scenarios and specific tangible problems and particularly take the latter very seriously.
New model predicts a chemical reaction’s point of no return
Chemists could use this quick computational method to design more efficient reactions that yield useful compounds, from fuels to pharmaceuticals.
“Periodic table of machine learning” could fuel AI discovery
Researchers have created a unifying framework that can help scientists combine existing ideas to improve AI models or create new ones.
