Latent spaces are abstract, high-dimensional areas within neural networks where patterns and relationships are encoded, but not readily interpretable by humans. Although latent space studies are still ...

In January middle school and high school students at more than 200 host sites across the U.S. and parts of Canada competed in the North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition (NACLO), ...

Scientists have long known that dopamine helps the brain learn from rewards, but a new computational model shows how for people with schizophrenia this learning system can break down and ...

The model has the potential to transform the ability to study telomere biology, learn more about human aging, and ultimately help people preserve better health as they age.

For 20 years, this computational linguistics competition has inspired new generations of innovators in AI and language ...

Language is a remarkable human capacity. No group of people has been found that lacks language and no other species has been found to communicate in a similar way. To elucidate what it is that ...

MIT neuroscientists have figured out how the brain is able to focus on a single voice among a cacophony of many voices, shedding light on a longstanding neuroscientific phenomenon known as the ...

A new computational tool infers changes occurring at the ends of the chromosomes housing our DNA. It does so by detecting structural alterations in cells and tissues captured in images taken of ...

When patients undergo general anesthesia, doctors can choose among several drugs. Although each of these drugs acts on neurons in different ways, they all lead to the same result: a disruption of the ...
