In a paper published on the preprint server Arxiv.org this week, researchers at Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group (ATG) propose an AI technique to improve autonomous vehicles’ traffic movement predictions. It’s directly applicable to the driverless technologies that Uber itself is developing, which must be able to detect, track, and anticipate surrounding cars’ trajectories in order to…

A group of health care organizations in the United States and Brazil have used federated learning to improve AI mammography classification models for recognizing tumors and breast tissue density assessment. An Nvidia spokesperson declined to share specific performance details, but said a combined effort led to better classification model performance than models made by any of the individual health…

Google today released a natural language processing systems benchmark — Xtreme — with nine tasks that require reasoning about semantics across 40 languages and 12 language families. Researchers at the tech giant assert it can evaluate whether AI models capture knowledge shared across languages, which can be useful for a growing number of natural language applications. The goal is to spur on…
