ML-Assisted Biochip Used for Real-Time Single Cancer Cell Analysis
Researchers and engineers at UCI recently created a machine learning-assisted biochip that can both examine and differentiate between cancers and healthy tissues at the single cell level. The data produced by the device can be used to study tumor heterogeneity, which can help reduce resistance to cancer therapies.

AI Training Method Exceeds GPT-3 Performance with 99.9% Fewer Parameters
A team of scientists at LMU Munich have developed Pattern-Exploiting Training (PET), a deep-learning training technique for natural language processing (NLP) models. Using PET, the team trained a Transformer NLP model with 223M parameters that out-performed the 175B-parameter GPT-3 by over 3 percentage points on the SuperGLUE benchmark.

Artificial Intelligence Can Create Sound Tracks for Silent Videos
Researchers Ghose and Prevost created a deep learning algorithm which, given a silent video, can generate a realistic sounding synchronised soundtrack. They trained the neural network to classify the class of the sound to generate, and they also trained a sequential network to generate the sound. They thus could go from temporally aligned images to the generation of sound: a different modality!
