Nature Machine Intelligence

Our paper is out in @natmachintell.nature.com! We trained multiple RNNs to perform free recall. The best-performing ones learned a strategy akin to the memory palace technique. See thread below for more info. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A new #AI method for predicting how #cells will #respond to #treatments 💡 What if we could #predict how cells would react to a new drug even before testing it in the laboratory? A radically different and promising approach now on the cover of @natmachintell.nature.com 👉 www.unil.ch/news/en/1782...

In this new invited commentary in @natmachintell.nature.com , our own Jiyeong Kim, and co-author, Carolyn I. Rodriguez, discuss PsychFound, a domain-specific LLM that demonstrated a potential for LLM grounded in real-world clinical practice in psychiatry. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Our new correspondence argues that the impact of conversational AI won’t stay inside the screen. We need to understand how sustained human–LLM interactions shape connection, agency, resilience, and social life, so that these systems strengthen, rather than erode, our relationships with one another

A brain-computer interface co-piloted by AI improved how a person with paralysis complete tasks, such as moving a computer cursor or operating a robotic arm, by up to four times, according to research in @natmachintell.nature.com: spklr.io/63322BHjsK #Neuroscience #Neuroskyence #AI

What makes humans similar or different to AI? In a paper out in @natmachintell.nature.com led by @florianmahner.bsky.social & @lukasmut.bsky.social, w/ Umut Güclü, we took a deep look at the factors underlying their representational alignment, with surprising results. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

🚨 new paper alert! 🚨 Excited to share our latest paper in @natmachintell.nature.com , we tested 27 large language models to see if any could generate a publication-ready Citation Diversity Report… and several (free) LLMs could! Read paper for free at link: rdcu.be/eCfwJ @natureportfolio.nature.com

What complexity of algorithms can AI compute? In a new paper with colleagues at IBM Research, we explore how circuit complexity theory can help quantify the degree of algorithmic generalization in AI systems. www.nature.com/articles/s42... @natmachintell.nature.com #ML #AI #MLSky 1/n

'AI Safety for Everyone' is out now in @natmachintell.nature.com! Through an analysis of 383 papers, we find a rich landscape of methods that cover a much larger domain than mainstream notions of AI safety. Our takeaway: Epistemic inclusivity is important, the knowledge is there, we only need use it

Check out our new piece in @natmachintell.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com, featuring AI-driven biomaterials discovery by Daniela Kalafatovic & Goran Mauša through resource-efficient deep learning to generate self-assembling peptides. Huge kudos to Tianang Leng! @upenn.bsky.social

What are goals? Can we model them as programs that produce rewards? In particular, can we model free-form creativity in game design this way? And learn to generate games like humans do? Our new paper in @natmachintell.bsky.social, led by @guydav.bsky.social and Graham Todd, shows that yes, we can!

Out today in Nature Machine Intelligence! From childhood on, people can create novel, playful, and creative goals. Models have yet to capture this ability. We propose a new way to represent goals and report a model that can generate human-like goals in a playful setting... 1/N
