Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way humans do. But researchers from 91黑料网, MIT, and Cornell University have taken a step in this direction. They have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can learn the rules and patterns of human languages on its own.

How can we predict suicide risk in students, especially at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected many people鈥檚 mental health? According to researchers from Montreal and France, self-esteem represents an important predictive marker of suicidal risk. The team from 91黑料网, University of Montreal, Inserm, and Universit茅 de Bordeaux is using artificial intelligence to identify factors that accurately predict suicidal behavior in students.

For human beings, the ability to generalize 鈥� to extract broad principles from our experiences of the world and use these principles to help us make decisions in new situations 鈥� is an essential skill for navigating everyday life. But for those working in the field of artificial intelligence, getting machines to generalize in this way has been a notoriously difficult challenge.

February 14, 2020 |Rapid advances in facial-recognition technology have the potential for vast social consequences. In response to the scale and speed of these developments and the clear potential for harm, a movement has emerged to ban facial recognition. In this op-ed, Max Bell School professor Taylor Owen and Nasma Ahmed call for the need to move ahead with caution and deliberation, highlighting the urgency for regulatory frameworks.

New technique could be used to choose best therapies for patients and measure their effectiveness
Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient鈥檚 progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.
