When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction’s transition state — the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows chemists to try to produce the right conditions that will allow the desired reaction to occur. However, current methods for predicting the transition state…

Why it matters: Future of AI Insights from Tech Visionary explores how Demis Hassabis is shaping ethical, creative AI progress.
A common view in current machine learning research is that machine learning itself can be used to improve the quality of AI dataset annotations – particularly image captions intended for use in vision-language models (VLMs). This line of thinking is driven by the high cost of human annotation, and the added burden of supervising annotator…
MIT researchers have created a periodic table that shows how more than 20 classical machine-learning algorithms are connected. The new framework sheds light on how scientists could fuse strategies from different methods to improve existing AI models or come up with new ones. For instance, the researchers used their framework to combine elements of two…
