New Computer Chips Do Math With Light
Professor Anthony Rizzo is quoted in an article about the development of new computer chips that use laser light to process information. The processors could soon solve specific real-world problems faster and with lower energy requirements than conventional computers. Rizzo noted that these devices have shown that light-based, or photonic, components "can do things that we care about, and that they can do them better than electronic chips that we already have."

They create a pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice, disposable, and activated by light
Professor Wei Ouyang is mentioned as one of the researchers on a Northwestern University-developed prototype of the smallest pacemaker in the world, that can be inserted with a syringe and dissolves when it is no longer needed. Its size is very suitable for babies with heart defects.

Understanding AI Behavior
PhD students Clement Nyanhongo '17 Th'18 and Bruno Miranda Henrique, and Professor Gene Santos co-authored "Reward Distance Comparisons Under Transition Sparsity" published in Transactions on Machine Learning Research. "Traditional reward comparison methods rely on behavioral simulations, which can be costly and pose safety risks. Our method is specifically designed to operate in more realistic and practical settings, recognizing real-world constraints, and outperforms existing approaches across a range of domains," says Santos.

Machine Learning + Human Expertise
Professors Vikrant Vaze and Peter Chin are co-authors of "Implementation of a Machine Learning Model and Direct-to-Patient Outreach Program for Targeted Screening for Familial Hypercholesterolemia" published in Journal of Clinical Lipidology. "Machine learning by itself may not make a big difference," says Vaze. "The difference is what you do with the results. Ultimately, the combination of expert knowledge and careful operationalizing of machine learning can make a major practical impact."
