MIT CSAIL brings reasoning to machine learning - SD Times

Machine learning is a hot topic in the software industry right now. More and more companies are taking advantage of this artificial intelligence technique to train machines on their data and make predictions. Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Laboratory (CSAIL) want to take it a step further by revealing how a machine makes those insights. If you are using a machine learning system in the medical field to help diagnose the symptoms or illness of a patient, you want to make sure that the system is correct. Similarly, if you are a business that uses machine learning to make investment decisions, you want to make sure you can justify the cost.
