Researchers design a new way to more reliably evaluate AI models’ ability to make clinical decisions in realistic scenarios that closely mimic real-life interactions.
The analysis finds that large-language models excel at making diagnoses from exam-style questions but struggle to do so from conversational notes.
The researchers propose set of guidelines to optimize AI tools’ performance and align them with real-world practice before integrating them into the clinic.
Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a research team directed by Professor Kyu-Jin Cho from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has proposed a gripper capable of moving multiple objects together to enhance the efficiency of pick-and-place processes, inspired from humans’ multi-object grasping strategy. The gripper not only transfers multiple objects at once but also places individual objects at desired locations. This achievement was published in the journal Science Robotics on December 12, recognized for analyzing human motion principles and successfully applying them to a robotic gripper.
Groundbreaking cerium oxide-based thermal switches achieve remarkable performance, transforming heat flow control with sustainable and efficient technology.
A team led by Columbia Engineering researchers and collaborators report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These "all-optical" nanosensors are probed with light only and therefore allow for fully remote read-outs -- no wires or connections are needed.
Fear of spiders, open spaces, fear of heights? Virtual reality comes to the rescue as a tool to treat phobias, prove researchers from SWPS University, Gdańsk University of Technology and Jagiellonian University.
