Gray swan

AI is good at weather forecasting. Can it predict freak weather events?: UChicago-led study tests neural networks’ ability to handle ‘gray swan’ events

Increasingly powerful AI models can make short-term weather forecasts with surprising accuracy. But neural networks only predict based on patterns from the past—what happens when the weather does something that’s unprecedented in recorded history?

AI/ML Summer Fellowship: Empowering Students to Explore AI and Biological Applications at BSD and the RCC

“The goal of the fellowship was to train students for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)—some things that are very new, even new to me. You definitely need these techniques to make sense of patterns that humans can't find on their own,” shared Professor Esmael Haddadian, creator of the AI and ML in Biology Fellowship.
