Mit researchers have developed an effective way to improve estimates of machine learning uncertainty, enabling more accurate and faster results in applications such as healthcare. This method helps users make informed decisions based on model reliability.
Researchers from mit and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Laboratory have developed a new technique to assess the reliability of foundation models before applying them to specific tasks, using an algorithm to assess model consistency. This solution can help reduce errors in safety-critical situations and enable better model selection without the need to test on actual data.
New research has uncovered a sustainable way to use beer bean residue (BSG) to produce microbeads used in personal care products. This environmentally friendly alternative helps reduce plastic pollution and shows superior performance compared to conventional plastic beads.
Scientists have discovered that centromeres consist of two parts that bind to microtubules. This discovery advances understanding of cell division and may help in cancer cell research.
Scientists have unearthed a history of genetic exchange between modern humans and Neanderthals, revealing multiple waves of interference that have occurred over millennia, suggesting a much closer connection between these early human groups than previously thought.
New research reveals details of the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) that lived 4.2 billion years ago, providing insight into early life on Earth. Scientists analyzed genes and evolutionary models to understand LUCA's biology and ecosystem.
