LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments

Researchers find nonclinical information in patient messages — like typos, extra white space, and colorful language — reduces the accuracy of an AI model.

Unpacking the bias of large language models

In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems.

Photonic processor could streamline 6G wireless signal processing

By performing deep learning at the speed of light, this chip could give edge devices new capabilities for real-time data analysis.

AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments

The system automatically learns to adapt to unknown disturbances such as gusting winds.

AI learns how vision and sound are connected, without human intervention

This new machine-learning model can match corresponding audio and visual data, which could someday help robots interact in the real world.

With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell

Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.

Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words

Words like “no” and “not” can cause this popular class of AI models to fail unexpectedly in high-stakes settings, such as medical diagnosis.

Making AI models more trustworthy for high-stakes settings

A new method helps convey uncertainty more precisely, which could give researchers and medical clinicians better information to make decisions.

“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.

Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language

A new technique automatically guides an LLM toward outputs that adhere to the rules of whatever programming language or other format is being used.
