In supervised multi-modal learning, data is mapped from various modalities to a target label using information about the boundaries between the modalities. Different fields have been interested in this issue: autonomous vehicles, healthcare, robots, and many more. Although multi-modal learning is a fundamental paradigm in machine learning, its efficacy differs depending on the task at… →

Data-driven methods that convert offline datasets of prior experiences into policies are a key way to solve control problems in various fields. There are mainly two approaches for learning policies from offline data, imitation learning and offline reinforcement learning (RL). Imitation learning needs high-quality demonstration data, while offline reinforcement learning RL can learn effective policies… →

Google AI Researchers introduced Human I/O to address the issue of situationally induced impairments and disabilities (SIIDs). SIIDs are temporary challenges that hinder our ability to interact with technology due to environmental factors such as noise, lighting, and social norms. These impairments can significantly affect our ability to use our hands, vision, hearing, or speech… →

Recent advancements in ML are revolutionizing how we evaluate treatments by predicting the causal impact of treatments on patient outcomes, known as causal ML. This approach leverages data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and real-world data sources like clinical registries and electronic health records to estimate the effects of treatments. A major advantage of causal… →

Generative vision-language models (VLMs) have revolutionized radiology by automating the interpretation of medical images and generating detailed reports. These advancements hold promise for reducing radiologists’ workloads and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. However, VLMs are prone to generating hallucinated content—nonsensical or incorrect text—which can lead to clinical errors and increased workloads for healthcare professionals. The core issue… →

Computer vision focuses on enabling devices to interpret & understand visual information from the world. This involves various tasks such as image recognition, object detection, and visual search, where the goal is to develop models that can process and analyze visual data effectively. These models are trained on large datasets, often containing noisy labels and… →
