MIT researchers, in collaboration with IBM, have developed a new machine-learning technique called CAV-MAE that blends multiple modalities to learn more like humans. The breakthrough method uses contrastive learning and masked data modeling with audio and visual data and aims to replicate how humans perceive and understand the world. CAV-MAE outperformed previous techniques in event classification, providing significant breakthroughs for action recognition, speech recognition, and audio-video generations.
A new algorithm developed by the University of Kansas can now differentiate between human-written and AI-created written content with 99% accuracy. By focusing on human writing habits, the researchers claim their algorithm can detect other types of AI-written content and be accessible to high school students. While AI is increasingly used for content creation, the algorithm's potential limitations include editing of AI-generated texts. Nevertheless, it is an exciting development.
A new machine learning model predicts depression levels accurately, even from incomplete clinical notes. The method uses data science to estimate scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, with data from over 490,000 individuals analyzed. Generated PHQ-9 scores increased 2.7x and encounters for 1.2x the original individuals. Learn more about this innovative approach to mental health evaluation.
