Machine learning

• A team from Tuft’s University has developed an artificial intelligence system based on a self-supervised learning framework that can detect contraband hidden in cargo flows.
• Researchers projected synthetic 3D anomalies in X-rays to train the model to distinguish between normal cargo and contraband with an impressive accuracy of score of 98%.
• The innovative approach adopted by the project could also be adapted for applications in other fields, including microscopy, medical research and industrial quality control.
