CSAIL researchers find even “untrainable” neural nets can learn effectively when guided by another network’s built-in biases using their guidance method.

This new approach could lead to enhanced AI models for drug and materials discovery.

A team of researchers has mapped the challenges of AI in software development, and outlined a research agenda to move the field forward.
