In machine learning, a shortcut solution can lead to inaccurate predictions. A new study explores the problem of shortcuts in a popular machine-learning method and proposes a solution that can prevent shortcuts by forcing the model to use more data in its decision-making.

Global warming has caused extreme ice melting events in Greenland to become more frequent and intense over the past 40 years, raising sea levels and flood risk worldwide, finds new research.

According to a study, artificial intelligence can accurately detect and diagnose colorectal cancer from tissue scans as well or better than pathologists.

A clearer understanding of how a type of brain cell known as astrocytes function and can be emulated in the physics of hardware devices, may result in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning that autonomously self-repairs and consumes much less energy than the technologies currently do.

A new study by German-Swiss researchers has shown a route towards training brain-inspired artificial intelligence systems.

A team of scientists has developed a free, open-access VR program that allows anyone to interact with single-cell datasets using a headset costing less than $10.

Researchers have used a mathematical model to better understand the immune response to vaccines, which could help improve vaccine design and simplify the associated technical challenges.

Some people are born with hearing loss, while others acquire it with age, infections or long-term noise exposures. s a step toward an advanced artificial cochlea, researchers report a conductive membrane, which translated sound waves into matching electrical signals when implanted inside a model ear, without requiring external power.

From the number of ounces in a cup to the first day of fall, online search engines such as Google put the answers to seemingly any question at our fingertips, making more knowledge accessible than ever before. But this on-demand access to external information can also change how people perceive their own knowledge, according to new research.

A computer modeling method has been designed to predict novel sites of drug binding and can help to achieve more effective drug targeting, improving efficacy and safety.
