AI maps how a new antibiotic targets gut bacteria
For patients with inflammatory bowel disease, antibiotics can be a double-edged sword. The broad-spectrum drugs often prescribed for gut flare-ups can kill helpful microbes alongside harmful ones, sometimes worsening symptoms over time. When fighting gut inflammation, you don’t always want to bring a sledgehammer to a knife fight. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and McMaster University have identified a new compound that takes a more targeted approach. The molecule, called enterololin, suppresses a […]

3 Questions: The pros and cons of synthetic data in AI
Synthetic data are artificially generated by algorithms to mimic the statistical properties of actual data, without containing any information from real-world sources. While concrete numbers are hard to pin down, some estimates suggest that more than 60 percent of data used for AI applications in 2024 was synthetic, and this figure is expected to grow across industries. Because synthetic data don’t contain real-world information, they hold the promise of safeguarding privacy while reducing the cost and increasing the […]

Prompt Compression for LLM Generation Optimization and Cost Reduction
Large language models (LLMs) are mainly trained to generate text responses to user queries or prompts, with complex reasoning under the hood that not only involves language generation by predicting each next token in the output sequence, but also entails a deep understanding of the linguistic patterns surrounding the user input text.

Open borders are incompatible with the welfare state
I’ve seen a lot of people talking about opening the borders, and that would be fine if all those Democrat states didn’t exist. Until anarcho-capitalism is implemented, it’s better to keep the borders closed. submitted by /u/AmirSuS123 [link] [comments]

The Machine Learning “Advent Calendar” Day 7: Decision Tree Classifier
In Day 6, we saw how a Decision Tree Regressor finds its optimal split by minimizing the Mean Squared Error. Today, for Day 7 of the Machine Learning “Advent Calendar”, we switch to classification. With just one numerical feature and two classes, we explore how a Decision Tree Classifier decides where to cut the data, using impurity measures like Gini and Entropy. Even without doing the math, we can visually guess possible split points. But which one is […]

3 Questions: How AI is helping us monitor and support vulnerable ecosystems
A recent study from Oregon State University estimated that more than 3,500 animal species are at risk of extinction because of factors including habitat alterations, natural resources being overexploited, and climate change. To better understand these changes and protect vulnerable wildlife, conservationists like MIT PhD student and Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researcher Justin Kay are developing computer vision algorithms that carefully monitor animal populations. A member of the lab of MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and […]
