BREATHE T32 predoc, Harrison Clarke, recently published in Nature Communications. This paper introduces a framework to test whether AI systems can rapidly self-improve and develop unexpected advanced abilities on their own. By proposing new benchmark tasks and evaluation criteria, Clarke aims to clarify how to distinguish genuine autonomous improvement from…
In a new paper, McKnight Brain Institute researchers show capability of a next-generation method to peer into tiny molecules in the brain made by metabolism, the chemical processes that break down food, drugs or chemicals. To do so, the interdisciplinary team of biochemists, neuroscientists and biostatisticians combined state-of-the-art imaging with…
It is a detailed view of the brain like never seen before. In a significant technological leap, University of Florida researchers have created a powerful new computational and artificial intelligence tool that can generate a high-resolution 3D map of the brain in mice, allowing users to zoom in and out…
A new study from researchers at University of Florida Health looks at another kind of organ whose cancer risk may be affected by poor diet: the lungs. The study was funded by several National Institutes of Health grants and a collaboration between the University of Kentucky’s Markey Cancer Center and…
