Deep learning helps scientists design materials that can both detect and capture toxic sulfur gases

Researchers developed a multitask deep learning framework to predict how strongly a material adsorbs sulfur gases and how effectively it senses them. The approach accelerated the discovery of materials for gas detection and purification, highlighting specific material candidates with strong sensing responses to toxic gases.

AI isn’t as good at recognizing objects as people are

A recent study published in iScience found that AI-powered machines have difficulty recognizing objects from their overall shapes when aspects of an image are distorted. Humans, on the other hand, are able to leverage the global shape cue for visual object recognition, a skill that current AI models do not replicate.
