Machine Learning Research
Researchers proposed a way for robots to find objects in households where things get moved around. Andrey Kurenkov and colleagues at Stanford University introduced Node Edge Predictor, a model that learned to predict where objects were located in houses.
Machine Learning Research
A neural network helped brain surgeons decide how much healthy tissue to cut out when removing tumors — while the patients were on the operating table.
Machine Learning Research
Machine learning models have predicted weather a few days ahead of time. A new approach substantially extends the time horizon. Remi Lam and colleagues at Google developed GraphCast, a weather-forecasting system based on graph neural networks (GNNs).
Machine Learning Research
Recent work showed that models for multilingual machine translation can increase the number of languages they translate by scraping the web for pairs of equivalent sentences in different languages. A new study radically expanded the language repertoire through training on untranslated web text.
Culture
DeepMind’s AlphaGo famously dominated Go, a game in which players can see the state of play at all times. A new AI system demonstrated similar mastery of bridge, in which crucial information remains hidden.
Machine Learning Research
Most U.S. state agencies use AI without limits or oversight. An investigative report probed reasons why efforts to rein them in have made little headway. Since 2018, nearly every proposed bill aimed at studying or controlling how state agencies use automated decision systems.

Want to become an AI practitioner? Here’s a program that will take you from beginner to job-ready. You may already have a head start, depending on your background. For a motivated person who starts with a solid high-school education it may take around two years.
Business
Amazon reported long-term success using machine learning to shrink its environmental footprint. The online retailer developed a system that fuses product descriptions, images, and structured data to decide how an item should be packed for shipping.
Science
Deep learning can predict how patients will respond to two antidepressant medicines.
Machine Learning Research
New research shows that drastically increasing the number of layers in a graph neural networks improves its performance on large datasets.
Machine Learning Research
A new machine learning method aims to improve a machine’s ability to determine and locate points of interest.
Machine Learning Research
Playing a team sport involves a fluid blend of individual and group skills. Researchers integrated both types of action into realistic humanoid agents that play football (known as soccer in the U.S.).
