Early-stage drug discovery requires a constant supply of new molecules, to be fed into High Throughput Screening robots. To increase this… (more…)

Our study of 25 years of artificial-intelligence research suggests the era of deep learning may come to an end. (more…)

Games are traditionally recognized as one of the key testbeds underlying progress in artificial intelligence (AI), aptly referred to as the "Drosophila of AI". Traditionally, researchers have focused on using games to build strong AI agents that, e.g., ac... (more…)

Our artificial intelligence systems are continuing to get smarter, with scientists demonstrating that a system called DeepCoder is now clever enough to borrow bits of code from other programs to solve basic problems. (more…)

LAST year Artur Filipowicz, a computer scientist at Princeton University, had a stop-sign problem. Dr Filipowicz is teaching cars how to see and interpret the world, with a view to them being able to drive themselves around unaided. One quality they will ... (more…)
