The rapid ascent of large-scale artificial intelligence has provided neuroscience with a new set of powerful tools for modeling complex cognitive functions.

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.

Compared to other regression techniques, a well-tuned neural network regression system can produce the most accurate prediction model, says Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research in presenting this ...
