Innovations in artificial intelligence (AI) are often driven by inspiration from biological systems. For example, the neural networks that form the basis of modern computer-vision systems share many ...

The simplified approach makes it easier to see how neural networks produce the outputs they do. A tweak to the way artificial neurons work in neural networks could make AIs easier to decipher.

Will computers ever match or surpass human-level intelligence — and, if so, how? When the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), based in Washington DC, asked its members ...
