Dogs and wolves comparison

Machine learning algorithms can be trained to distinguish wolves from dogs in photographs, but sometimes these algorithms learn incorrectly by assuming that any animal pictured with snow in the background is a wolf (bottom right). Two School scientists argue that scientific applications of machine learning also need to be monitored to ensure they are working properly.

Michael Keiser, PhD, and Kangway Chuang, PhD, want to use machine learning to speed the pace of drug discovery. By digging into the work of another lab, the pair realized how machine learning could lead scientists astray—and came up with methods to avoid its worst pitfalls.
