MIT PhD student Behrooz Tahmasebi and advisor Stefanie Jegelka have modified Weyl's law to incorporate symmetry in assessing the complexity of data, potentially enhancing machine learning. Their work, presented at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference, demonstrates that models satisfying symmetries can produce predictions with smaller errors and require less training data, partic...
Hackers have begun exploiting a critical vulnerability in widely used VPN software sold by Ivanti, adding to the chaos caused by previous vulnerabilities. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has mandated all federal agencies to disconnect Ivanti VPN products until rebuilt with the latest software version.
Doctors have lower accuracy in diagnosing skin diseases on darker skin, with dermatologists accurately characterizing only 34% of images compared to 38% for lighter skin. Artificial intelligence algorithms can improve accuracy, but the disparity suggests a need for changes in dermatology education and training.
