Computational model captures the elusive transition states of chemical reactions

Using generative AI, MIT chemists created a model that can predict the structures formed when a chemical reaction reaches its point of no return.

Deep neural networks show promise as models of human hearing

Study shows computational models trained to perform auditory tasks display an internal organization similar to that of the human auditory cortex.

The brain may learn about the world the same way some computational models do

Two studies find “self-supervised” models, which learn about their environment from unlabeled data, can show activity patterns similar to those of the mammalian brain.

AI model can help determine where a patient’s cancer arose

Predictions from the OncoNPC model could enable doctors to choose targeted treatments for difficult-to-treat tumors.
