Simpler models can outperform deep learning at climate prediction | MIT News

Simpler models can outperform deep learning at climate prediction | MIT News

Environmental scientists are increasingly using enormous artificial intelligence models to make predictions about changes in weather and climate, but a new study by MIT researchers shows that bigger models are not always better. The team demonstrates that, in certain climate scenarios, much simpler, physics-based models can generate more accurate predictions than state-of-the-art deep-learning models. Their analysis also reveals that a …

Music After Learning Boosts Memory, But Only at the Right Emotion Level

Music After Learning Boosts Memory, But Only at the Right Emotion Level

Summary: A new study reveals that listening to music immediately after an experience can enhance memory—if the emotional response is just right. Researchers found that volunteers who experienced moderate arousal while listening to music were better at recalling details, while those with stronger or weaker emotions remembered only the gist. This suggests that music can shift the balance between gist- …

Human neural organoid microphysiological systems show the building blocks necessary for basic learning and memory

Human neural organoid microphysiological systems show the building blocks necessary for basic learning and memory

Neural organoids were differentiated from iPSC-derived Neural Progenitor Cells (NPC) for up to 14 weeks and characterized throughout development (Fig. 1a). Gene expression of synaptic plasticity markers was quantified from week 0 to week 12. Calcium signaling development was analyzed from week 2 to week 14. Finally, electrical activity was characterized by High-Density Microelectrode Arrays (HD-MEAs) over two independent time periods, from …

Deep learning reveals antibiotics in the archaeal proteome

Deep learning reveals antibiotics in the archaeal proteome

Deep-learning-guided identification of archaeasins We collected 18,677 non-redundant reviewed protein sequences from 233 archaeal organisms available on UniProt10 and used APEX 1.1, a deep learning antimicrobial activity predictor6 retrained on updated data (‘APEX 1.1’ in Methods), to mine EPs within archaeal proteomes. As APEX predicted bacterial-strain-specific minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), we used the mean MIC to represent the overall antimicrobial …

How is Carlos Correa learning to play third base? By studying the league’s best

How is Carlos Correa learning to play third base? By studying the league’s best

Carlos Correa is a baseball connoisseur. Conversations with him often include offhand mentions of advanced metrics or other minutiae he’s gleaned from watching players across the league. Baseball’s best third basemen stay low before a pitch is released, Correa has learned, allowing them ample time to gauge a ground ball’s trajectory. “At shortstop,” Correa explained last week, “you have to …
