We live in an age of big data—and that’s a boon for biologists. Neuroscientists listen in on the chatter of thousands of neurons, recording the individual activity of each one. Geneticists sequence entire genomes in a matter of hours. Rich information about animal behavior is captured in a simple video, tracked across thousands of frames.
The unprecedented convergence of AI and Machine Learning in Biology with the life sciences, often described as AI in biology, represents a milestone in scientific progress. AI/ML, once the exclusive tools of computer scientists, is now being incorporated into several scientific disciplines, with biology at the forefront. At the vanguard of a new era of…
