Moderating the ML Roller Coaster: A technique to avoid double descent in AI
Wait a minute — we added training data, and our model’s performance got worse?! New research offers a way to avoid so-called double descent.

Preserving Detail in Image Inputs: Better image compression for computer vision datasets
Given real-world constraints on memory and processing time, images are often downsampled before they’re fed into a neural network. But the process removes fine details, and that degrades accuracy. A new technique squeezes images with less compromise.

Outside the Norm: Batch normalization contributes to neural network accuracy.
Batch normalization is a technique that normalizes layer outputs to accelerate neural network training. But new research shows that it has other effects that may be more important.

Seeing the See-Through: ClearGrasp allows robots to grab see-through objects.
Glass bottles and crystal bowls bend light in strange ways. Image processing networks often struggle to separate the boundaries of transparent objects from the background that shows through them. A new method sees such items more accurately.

Rightsizing Neural Nets: An equation for predicting optimal data and model size
How much data do we want? More! How large should the model be? Bigger! How much more and how much bigger? New research estimates the impact of dataset and model sizes on neural network performance.

Deep Learning Finds New Antibiotic: Researchers used AI to identify a promising new antibiotic.
Chemists typically develop new antibiotics by testing close chemical relatives of tried-and-true compounds like penicillin. That approach becomes less effective, though, as dangerous bacteria evolve resistance to those very chemical structures. Instead, researchers enlisted neural networks.
