Israeli Institute Invests $100 Million in Artificial Intelligence to Solve Real-World Problems
Israeli Institute Invests $100 Million in Artificial Intelligence to Solve Real-World Problems

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/in-the-news/israeli-institute-invests-100-million-in-artificial-intelligence-to-solve-real-world-problems/

Feb 25, 2019... Machine learning is being applied to an ever-widening variety of fields, including biology and chemistry, and is becoming increasingly crucial to Israel’s high-tech success.
REHOVOT, Israel — For years, Israeli scientist Tamar Flash has been fascinated with the octopus, and the unusual way the invertebrate’s eight arms propel it effortlessly through the water.
Her interest is no mere hobby. A renowned professor who does research in artificial intelligence at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Flash is using the octopus as a model for methods of diagnosis and treatment of disorders from Parkinson’s disease to autism.

Israeli Startup Uses AI to Find Best Depression Treatment
Israeli Startup Uses AI to Find Best Depression Treatment

Prescribing the right anti-depression medication often involves tedious trial and error. Your psychiatrist suggests one type of pill, but it doesn’t work or has too many side effects. So you go on to the next medication and then another one until you finally find a prescription that seems to work. Meanwhile, the debilitating symptoms of depression continue.
Neuroscientist Dekel Taliaz found the entire drawn-out process to be, well, depressing. So, together with his brother Oren, he set up a company bearing the siblings’ family name – Taliaz – to apply the latest in artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable psychiatrists to prescribe the right anti-depression medication the first time.

Converging Solutions: Artificial Networks Shed Light on Human Face Recognition

https://www.weizmann-usa.org/news-media/news-releases/converging-solutions-artificial-networks-shed-light-on-human-face-recognition/

Oct 30, 2019... Pairs of face images that elicited similar (left column) and different (right column) neuronal activation patterns. Each bar shows the response of one electrode to the face in the photo; the higher the bar and the lighter the red, the stronger the response
REHOVOT, ISRAEL—October 30, 2019—Our brains are so primed to recognize faces – or to tell people apart – that we rarely even stop to think about it, but what happens in the brain when it engages in such recognition is still far from understood. In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have shed new light on this issue. They found a striking similarity between the way in which faces are encoded in the brain and successfully performing artificial intelligence (AI) systems known as deep neural networks.

Oct 15, 2020... If one were to objectively examine the topics being discussed in their social media feeds, that person might reach he conclusion that COVID-19 is all that’s going on in this world. It’s all anyone is talking about, and rightfully so. The effects of this pandemic on the human species will be discussed and analyzed for many years to come.
What is not being discussed enough, however, are the effects COVID is having on our mental health. Loneliness, anxiety, depression, hopelessness; these are just some of the emotions a global pandemic can, and are causing – and it’s important that we acknowledge it.
