Using ablation to examine the structure of artificial neural networks
A team of researchers at RWTH Aachen University's Institute of Information Management in Mechanical Engineering have recently explored the use of neuroscience techniques to determine how information is structured inside artificial neural networks (ANNs). In their...
A new machine learning strategy that could enhance computer vision
Researchers from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Carnegie Mellon University and International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India, have developed a technique that could allow deep learning algorithms to learn the visual features of images in a...
Modelling the loop between opinion formation and personalized recommendations
Researchers at the University of Twente and CNRS have recently carried out a study that explores the relationship between users' opinions and the personalized recommendations they receive online. In their paper, which was pre-published on arXiv, they proposed a model...
Developing brain atlas using deep learning algorithms
A team of researchers from the Brain Research Institute of the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) have developed a fully automated brain registration method that could be used to segment brain regions of interest in mice.
Can a computer write a sonnet as well as Shakespeare?
AI or not AI: that is the question.
ColorUNet: A new deep CNN classification approach to colorization
A team of researchers at Stanford University has recently developed a CNN classification method to colorize grayscale images. The tool they devised, called ColorUNet, draws inspiration from U-Net, a fully convolutional network for image segmentation.
AI systems shed light on root cause of religious conflict
Artificial intelligence can help us to better understand the causes of religious violence and to potentially control it, according to a new Oxford University collaboration. The study is one of the first to be published that uses psychologically realistic AI—as opposed...
An integrated visual and semantic neural network model explains human object recognition in the brain
Neuroscience researchers at the University of Cambridge have combined computer vision with semantics, developing a new model that could help to better understand how objects are processed in the brain.
DeepMind researchers develop neural arithmetic logic units (NALU)
The ability to represent and manipulate numerical quantities can be observed in many species, including insects, mammals and humans. This suggests that basic quantitative reasoning is an important component of intelligence, which has several evolutionary advantages.
