A new explainable AI technique transparently classifies images without compromising accuracy. The method, developed at the University of Michigan, opens up AI for situations where understanding why a decision was made is just as important as the decision itself, like medical diagnostics.A new explainable AI technique transparently classifies images without compromising accuracy.

Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly. Among other things, these models could be used to improve the capabilities of robots, helping them to accurately interpret their surroundings and interact with human users more effectively.Vision-language models (VLMs) are advanced computational techniques designed to process both images and written texts, making predictions accordingly.
