A fast and flexible approach to help doctors annotate medical scans

“ScribblePrompt” is an interactive AI framework that can efficiently highlight anatomical structures across different medical scans, assisting medical workers to delineate regions of interest and abnormalities.

New open-source tool helps to detangle the brain

The software tool NeuroTrALE is designed to quickly and efficiently process large amounts of brain imaging data semi-automatically.

AI model identifies certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer

The model could help clinicians assess breast cancer stage and ultimately help in reducing overtreatment.

New AI method captures uncertainty in medical images

By providing plausible label maps for one medical image, the Tyche machine-learning model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information.

A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins

MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.

New model identifies drugs that shouldn’t be taken together

Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers can predict interactions that could interfere with a drug’s effectiveness.

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.

Closing the design-to-manufacturing gap for optical devices

A new method enables optical devices that more closely match their design specifications, boosting accuracy and efficiency.

Search algorithm reveals nearly 200 new kinds of CRISPR systems

By analyzing bacterial data, researchers have discovered thousands of rare new CRISPR systems that have a range of functions and could enable gene editing, diagnostics, and more.

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.
