Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Barış Büyüktaş
Petabytes of satellite data circle the Earth, locked in silos by legal and technical walls. Dr. Barış Büyüktaş is using federated learning to break them down, turning a scattered mountain of Earth observation data into a treasure trove for understanding our changing planet.
A benchmark for trustworthy clinical AI
A new study published in Nature Communications shows that today's pathology foundation models can be influenced by the origin of a tissue sample. Researchers at BIFOLD and Aignostics developed PathoROB, a first-of-its-kind benchmark to measure and reduce this bias, shaping how the next generation of pathology AI is built.
