Mihaela van der Schaar, a Turing Fellow and professor of ML, AI, and health at the University of Cambridge and UCLA, believes that when it comes to applying AI to health care, we need a new way to think about the “complex class of problems” it presents. “We need new problem formulations. And there are many ways to conceive of a problem in medicine, and there are many ways to formalize the…
A team of researchers hailing from Harvard and Université de Montréal today launched Epitopes.world, an AI-powered, interactive platform designed to facilitate COVID-19 vaccine development. It’s built atop an algorithm — CAMAP — that generates predictions for…
OpenAI today announced it will begin tracking machine learning models that achieve state-of-the-art efficiency, an effort it believes will help identify candidates for scaling and achieving top overall performance. To kick-start things, the firm published an analysis…
GigaSpaces, a startup developing in-memory computing solutions for AI and machine learning workloads, today announced it has raised $12 million. The funds will be used to scale expansion and accelerate product R&D, according to CEO Adi Paz.
It’s often been argued that in-memory computing is a critical piece of the big data analytics puzzle. It promises to mitigate slow data accesses by…
In a preprint paper published this week on Arxiv.org, scientists at Microsoft, the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and the University of Washington describe PlotMachines, an AI system that learns to transform outlines into stories by tracking plot threads.
Omilia, a startup developing natural language technologies, today announced it raised $20 million in its first ever financing round. Founder and CEO Dimitris Vassos says the capital will help strengthen Omilia’s go-to-market efforts as it eyes expansion in North America…
Today during its annual IBM Think conference, IBM announced the launch of Watson AIOps, a service that taps AI to automate the real-time detection, diagnosing, and remediation of network anomalies. It also unveiled new offerings targeting the rollout of 5G technologies and the devices on those networks, as well as a coalition of telecommunications partners — the IBM Telco Network Cloud Ecosystem…
Researchers affiliated with the University of Washington and Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence say they’ve developed an AI system — VeriSci — that can automatically fact-check scientific claims. Ostensibly, the system can not only identify abstracts within…

As vehicles become more connected and able to process data for AI-based decision making, automakers have an incredible opportunity to innovate the driver experience. According to OMDIA’s automotive research arm, Wards Intelligence, in 2019…
LinkedIn is using AI and machine learning to generate screening questions for active job postings. In a paper published this week on the preprint server Arxiv.org, coauthors describe Job2Questions, a model that helps recruiters quickly find applicants by reducing the need for manual screening. This isn’t just theoretical research — Job2Questions was briefly tested across millions of jobs by…
