Abstract
Most research efforts in machine learning focus on performance and are detached from an explanation of the behaviour of the model. We call for going back to basics of machine learning methods, with more focus on the development of a basic understanding grounded in statistical theory.
期刊介绍:
Nature Machine Intelligence is a distinguished publication that presents original research and reviews on various topics in machine learning, robotics, and AI. Our focus extends beyond these fields, exploring their profound impact on other scientific disciplines, as well as societal and industrial aspects. We recognize limitless possibilities wherein machine intelligence can augment human capabilities and knowledge in domains like scientific exploration, healthcare, medical diagnostics, and the creation of safe and sustainable cities, transportation, and agriculture. Simultaneously, we acknowledge the emergence of ethical, social, and legal concerns due to the rapid pace of advancements.
To foster interdisciplinary discussions on these far-reaching implications, Nature Machine Intelligence serves as a platform for dialogue facilitated through Comments, News Features, News & Views articles, and Correspondence. Our goal is to encourage a comprehensive examination of these subjects.
Similar to all Nature-branded journals, Nature Machine Intelligence operates under the guidance of a team of skilled editors. We adhere to a fair and rigorous peer-review process, ensuring high standards of copy-editing and production, swift publication, and editorial independence.
