A research team at Johns Hopkins has created and trained a machine learning model to calculate percent necrosis (PN) — or, what percentage of a tumor is “dead” and no longer active — in patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. The model’s calculation was 85% correct when compared to the results of a […]

Facial recognition software works best with images captured in daylight but has difficulty with visuals taken in darkness or low light using thermal or infrared cameras. Converting these images into clear photos for accurate facial verification is challenging and requires a process called Thermal-to-Visible (T2V) image translation. Johns Hopkins engineers have devised a way to […]

Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a method involving artificial intelligence to visualize and track changes in the strength of synapses—the connection points through which nerve cells in the brain communicate—in live animals. The technique, described in Nature Methods, should lead to a better understanding of how such connections in human brains change with learning, aging, injury, and […]
