Deep Learning Identifies PPMS Patients Who May Respond to Treatment
Deep learning identified subgroups of patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) who may respond to disease-modifying therapy, researchers said. A trained model separated responders and non-responders across a range of predicted effect sizes, reported Jean-Pierre Falet, MD, of McGill University in Montreal, Canada, at the ACTRIMS Forum 2022, the annual meeting of the Americas […]
Babies can tell who has close relationships based on one clue: Saliva: Sharing food and kissing are among the signals babies use to interpret their social world
Learning to navigate social relationships is a skill that is critical for surviving in human societies. For babies and young children, that means learning who they can count on to take care of them. MIT neuroscientists have now identified a specific signal that young children and even babies use to determine whether two people have […]
Improving reading skills through action video games
Decoding letters into sound is a key point in learning to read but is not enough to master it. “Reading calls upon several other essential mechanisms that we don’t necessarily think about, such as knowing how to move our eyes on the page or how to use our working memory to link words together in […]
‘Human-like’ brain helps robot out of a maze
A maze is a popular device among psychologists to assess the learning capacity of mice or rats. But how about robots? Can they learn to successfully navigate the twists and turns of a labyrinth? Now, researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in […]

How Do I Deal With the Death of My Father?
Learning about grief can help you move through the necessary steps and deal with the death of your father. The death of a loved one is one of the most intense experiences in life. Losing a father can be especially difficult. Learning about grief can help you move through the necessary steps and deal with […]
New machine learning method to analyze complex scientific data of proteins: Method allows faster and more accurate data analysis from NMR spectrometers
Scientists have developed a method using machine learning to better analyze data from a powerful scientific tool: nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). One way NMR data can be used is to understand proteins and chemical reactions in the human body. NMR is closely related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for medical diagnosis. NMR spectrometers allow scientists […]
New framework applies machine learning to atomistic modeling: Method could lead to more accurate predictions of how new materials behave at the atomic scale
Northwestern University researchers have developed a new framework using machine learning that improves the accuracy of interatomic potentials — the guiding rules describing how atoms interact — in new materials design. The findings could lead to more accurate predictions of how new materials transfer heat, deform, and fail at the atomic scale. Designing new nanomaterials […]
Machine learning tool sorts the nuances of quantum data
An interdisciplinary team of Cornell and Harvard University researchers developed a machine learning tool to parse quantum matter and make crucial distinctions in the data, an approach that will help scientists unravel the most confounding phenomena in the subatomic realm. The Cornell-led project’s paper, “Correlator Convolutional Neural Networks as an Interpretable Architecture for Image-like Quantum […]
