How Facebook is using AI to improve photo descriptions for people who are blind or visually impaired
The latest iteration of AAT represents multiple technological advances that improve the photo experience for our users. Taken together, these advancements help users who are blind or visually impaired better understand what’s in photos posted by their family and friends — and in their own photos —...
Who needs a teacher? Artificial intelligence designs lesson plans for itself
That’s what researchers have done in several new studies, creating artificial intelligence (AI) that can figure out how best to teach itself. The “agent” improves its abilities through a process called reinforcement learning, a kind of trial and error.
New AI research to help predict COVID-19 resource needs from a series of X-rays
As part of our ongoing collaboration with NYU Langone Health’s Predictive Analytics Unit and Department of Radiology, we have developed three machine learning (ML) models that could help doctors predict how a patient’s condition may develop, in order to help hospitals ensure they have sufficient...
