Researchers at Aalto University, together with international partners, have developed the most accurate model yet of how humans read. The new model uses reinforcement learning, a type of AI used in robotics, to explain—and recreate—the choices readers make as they move through text.Researchers at Aalto University, together with international partners, have developed the most accurate model yet of how humans read.

A team of researchers is harnessing artificial intelligence (AI), data science and advanced mathematics to better predict how fires behave in modern homes, work that could ultimately help save lives during emergencies.A team of researchers is harnessing artificial intelligence (AI), data science and advanced mathematics to better predict how fires behave in modern homes, work that could ultimately help save lives during emergencies.Hi Tech & Innovation[#item_full_content]
Why do we breeze through some sentences in a book or article but have to reread others to comprehend their meaning? A team of linguists and data scientists has found a partial answer in AI—some of this processing parallels that of neural-network-based large language models (LLMs). However, other aspects of why we read this way cannot be explained by these technologies, revealing where human and AI language processing diverge and maintaining the mystery of some stages of the reading process.Why do we breeze through some sentences in a book or article but have to reread others to comprehend their meaning?
