AI-assisted dental treatment
Overjet software, created by MIT graduates, helps dentists identify and treat dental disease, and shows patients their problems and explains treatment recommendations. When an X-ray is imported into a computer, Overjet's software automatically provides an analysis and annotation of the image. In fact, by the time the image appears on the computer screen, it contains information about the type of X-ray taken, how the tooth may be affected, the exact level of bone loss with color overlays, the lo

Piction Health and the treatment of skin diseases using machine learning
Piction Health began as a mobile app that used artificial intelligence to recognize melanoma from images. Today, however, the founders are focused on helping doctors identify and treat the most popular skin diseases - among them both common rashes and acne, as well as shingles. "All of these diseases are ones that dermatologists often go to dermatology with, and dermatologists get frustrated because they'd rather spend time treating skin cancer or other conditions that need their help," says th

DALL-E is now available in beta
DALL-E is an artificial intelligence system that creates realistic images and artwork based on natural language descriptions. Artists and creative professionals can use it to inspire and accelerate creative processes, and some have already used it to create music videos for young cancer patients. The creators of this system invited about 1 million people from the waiting list who can now create DALL-E using free credits. These are replenished each month, and there is an option to buy additional

AI and the rapid search for drug molecules
In a paper presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology developed a geometric deep learning model called EquiBind. It is 1,200 times faster than its predecessor and successfully binds drug molecules to proteins. The current process for finding promising drug candidate molecules looks like this: a candidate sampling is combined with techniques such as scoring, ranking and fine-tuning, to get the best "match" betwee

YOLOv7 by Academia Sinica
The 2016 release of YOLO caused a furor among computer vision professionals. It provided high speed and accuracy for a fundamental problem with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, safety, medical image analysis, and other fields. Then, it also provided multiscale predictions, a better baseline classifier, and other tricks to improve YOLO learning and performance. Now, Academia Sinica continues the development of YOLO in its new work YOLOv7, which introduces new methods of "extension"

Training AI to ask clinical questions as a new method to simplify physicians' work
MIT researchers have created a public database of more than 2,000 clinically relevant questions for physicians to help them more efficiently find information in a patient's medical record without spending a lot of time navigating. The database was created in collaboration with medical experts who are competent in the list of questions physicians ask when reviewing electronic medical records. Now, the team is using this work to create a model that can automatically answer physician questions in

A new artificial intelligence model that can translate about 200 languages
Technology is now available to more people - the latest AI model, NLLB-200 can translate 200 different languages with an average increase in translation quality of 44%. AI researchers created the No Language Left Behind (NLLB) program, which aims to develop high-quality machine translation capabilities for most of the world's languages. NLLB-200 models and the FLORES-200 dataset are now open to developers, along with code to train the model and code to recreate the training dataset. Also, gran

FIFA Announces New, AI-powered Offside Detection System for the 2022 World Cup
The world's largest international football governing body has announced that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar plans to use a semi-automated system that consists of a sensor in the ball that transmits its position on the field 500 times per second and 12 tracking cameras that use machine learning to track 29 points on the players' bodies. “Referees and assistant referees will still be responsible for the decision on the field”. It's just that this method will give referees more data to make good deci

NVIDIA 3D MoMa: New Methods to Improvise with 3D Objects
At the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference in New Orleans, the NVIDIA 3D MoMa inverse rendering pipeline was unveiled with a video about jazz and its homeland. 0:00/1× David Luebke, vice president of graphics research at NVIDIA, described the novelty as "a GPU-accelerated, differentiated component that, through its rendering pipeline, harnesses the mechanisms of modern AI and the raw computing power of the NVIDIA GPU to quickly create 3D objects." Since game studios and other c

Artificial intelligence in Japan helps identify currents and bathers
It's happening during beach season. An artificial intelligence system sends alerts to lifeguards via smart watches to ensure Japanese surfers and sunbathers are safe on beaches. This artificial intelligence system helps identify rip currents, which are responsible for 60 percent of drowning deaths. According to the Lifeguard Association, a pole-mounted webcam detects rip currents and those who swim near them, and then immediately notifies lifeguards via a smartwatch. The images were also used
