MIT scientists develop super speedy AI system for biology research - Interesting Engineering

MIT researchers led by Jim Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in the Department of Biological Engineering have developed BioAutoMATED, an automated machine-learning system for biology research. The system can select and build an appropriate model for a given dataset and even take care of the laborious task of data preprocessing, whittling down a months-long process to just a few hours. 

This is according to a press release by the institution published on Thursday.

“It would take many weeks of effort to figure out the appropriate model for our dataset, and this is a really prohibitive step for a lot of folks that want to use machine learning or biology,” said Jacqueline Valeri, a fifth-year PhD student of biological engineering in Collins’s lab who is first co-author of the paper.
