Machine Learning Spots Treasure Trove of Elusive Viruses

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to discover nearly 6,000 previously unknown species of virus. The work, presented on 15 March at a meeting organized by the US Department of Energy (DOE), illustrates an emerging tool for exploring the enormous, largely unknown diversity of viruses on Earth.

Using Evolutionary AutoML to Discover Neural Network Architectures

The brain has evolved over a long time, from very simple worm brains 500 million years ago to a diversity of modern structures today. The human brain, for example, can accomplish a wide variety of activities, many of them effortlessly — telling whether a visual scene contains animals or buildings feels trivial to us, for example. To perform activities like these, artificial neural networks require careful design by experts over years of difficult research, and typically address one specific task, such as to find what’s in a photograph, to call a genetic variant, or to help diagnose a disease.
