When Lab-Trained AI Meets the Real World, ‘Mistakes can Happen’

AI and pathology
When humans examine tissue on slides, they can only look at a limited field within the microscope, then move to a new field and so on.

Tissue contamination distracts AI models from making accurate real-world diagnoses. Human pathologists are extensively trained to detect when tissue samples from one patient mistakenly end up on another patient’s microscope slides (a problem known as tissue contamination). But such contamination can easily confuse artificial intelligence (AI) models, which are often trained in pristine, simulated environments, reports a new Northwestern Medicine study.

“We train AIs to tell ‘A’ versus ‘B’ in a very clean, artificial environment, but, in real life, the AI will see a variety of materials that it hasn’t trained on...

AI Models can now Continually Learn from New Data on Intelligent Edge Devices like Smartphones and Sensors

Artistic collage shows a large teal hand, pointing towards us as if typing on a smart phone, with a lens flare on the tip of the finger. The background is a surreal, AI-generated blend of smart phones, keyboards, teal screens.

A new technique enables on-device training of machine learning models on edge devices like microcontrollers, which have very limited memory. This could allow edge devices to continually learn from new data, eliminating data privacy issues, while enabling user customization.

Microcontrollers, miniature computers that can run simple commands, are the basis for billions of connected devices, from internet-of-things (IoT) devices...
