Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts neuromuscular control, severely affecting independence and quality of life. Although upper limb wearable robots hold considerable promise for functional restoration, most existing prototypes have been validated minimally in people with SCI and target almost exclusively hand opening and closing. We introduce a lightweight, modular assistive soft exosuit that simultaneously and automatically supports shoulder abduction and elbow flexion or extension movements using lightweight fabric-based pneumatic actuators, controlled through inertial sensors. The individual elbow modules were first validated in 11 healthy volunteers, and subsequently tested, together with the shoulder module, in 15 individuals with cervical SCI (C4–C7, AIS A–D). In the SCI participants, exosuits assistance resulted in increased static endurance time (by more than 250%), and lower activity of the primary muscles involved in dynamic tasks (by up to 50%). The two SCI participants retaining prehensile capability also improved their scores in the box and block test when assisted. Moreover, the soft actuation provided a safe, comfortable and easy-to-use solution that was positively appreciated by the participants. Collectively, these results provide encouraging evidence that exosuits can augment upper limb motor performance, and may ultimately translate into greater functional independence and quality of life for the SCI population. A lightweight, modular assistive soft exosuit is introduced, which supports shoulder and elbow movement in individuals with cervical spinal cord injury. The device enhances endurance and range of motion, reduces muscle effort and improves clinical test scores.

Machine learning (ML) models are powerful tools for detecting complex patterns, yet their ‘black-box’ nature limits their interpretability, hindering their use in critical domains like healthcare and finance. Interpretable ML methods aim to explain how features influence model predictions but often focus on univariate feature importance, overlooking complex feature interactions. Although recent efforts extend interpretability to feature interactions, existing approaches struggle with robustness and error control, especially under data perturbations. In this study, we introduce Diamond, a method for trustworthy feature interaction discovery. Diamond uniquely integrates the model-X knockoffs framework to control the false discovery rate, ensuring a low proportion of falsely detected interactions. Diamond includes a non-additivity distillation procedure that refines existing interaction importance measures to isolate non-additive interaction effects and preserve false discovery rate control. This approach addresses the limitations of off-the-shelf interaction measures, which, when used naively, can lead to inaccurate discoveries. Diamond’s applicability spans a broad class of ML models, including deep neural networks, transformers, tree-based models and factorization-based models. Empirical evaluations on both simulated and real datasets across various biomedical studies demonstrate its utility in enabling reliable data-driven scientific discoveries. Diamond represents a significant step forward in leveraging ML for scientific innovation and hypothesis generation. Diamond, a statistically rigorous method, is capable of finding meaningful feature interactions within machine learning models, making black-box models more interpretable for science and medicine.

Computational models of auditory processing can be valuable tools for research and technology development. Models of the cochlea are highly accurate and widely used, but models of the auditory brain lag far behind in both performance and penetration. Here we present ICNet, a convolutional encoder–decoder model of neural coding in the inferior colliculus. We developed ICNet using large-scale intracranial recordings from anaesthetized gerbils, addressing three key modelling challenges that are common across all sensory systems: capturing the full statistical structure of neuronal response patterns; accounting for physiological and experimental non-stationarity; and extracting features of sensory processing that are shared across different brains. ICNet provides highly accurate simulation of multi-unit neural responses to a wide range of complex sounds, including near-perfect responses to speech. It also reproduces key neurophysiological phenomena such as forward masking and dynamic range adaptation. ICNet can be used to simulate activity from thousands of neural units or to provide a compact representation of early central auditory processing through its latent dynamics, facilitating a wide range of hearing and audio applications. It can also serve as a foundation core, providing a baseline neural representation for models of active listening or higher-level auditory processing. Drakopoulos et al. present a model that captures the transformation from sound waves to neural activity patterns underlying early auditory processing. The model reproduces neural responses to a range of complex sounds and key neurophysiological phenomena.

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI)—including generative approaches—have resulted in technology that can support humans in scientific discovery and forming decisions, but may also disrupt democracies and target individuals. The responsible use of AI and its participation in human–AI teams increasingly shows the need for AI alignment, that is, to make AI systems act according to our preferences. A crucial yet often overlooked aspect of these interactions is the different ways in which humans and machines generalize. In cognitive science, human generalization commonly involves abstraction and concept learning. By contrast, AI generalization encompasses out-of-domain generalization in machine learning, rule-based reasoning in symbolic AI, and abstraction in neurosymbolic AI. Here we combine insights from AI and cognitive science to identify key commonalities and differences across three dimensions: notions of, methods for, and evaluation of generalization. We map the different conceptualizations of generalization in AI and cognitive science along these three dimensions and consider their role for alignment in human–AI teaming. This results in interdisciplinary challenges across AI and cognitive science that must be tackled to support effective and cognitively supported alignment in human–AI teaming scenarios. Ilievski et al. examine differences and similarities in the various ways human and AI systems generalize. The insights are important for effectively supporting alignment in human–AI teams.

Discovering novel drug candidate molecules is a fundamental step in drug development. Generative deep learning models can sample new molecular structures from learned probability distributions; however, their practical use in drug discovery hinges on generating compounds tailored to a specific target molecule. Here we introduce DrugGEN, an end-to-end generative system for the de novo design of drug candidate molecules that interact with a selected protein. The proposed method represents molecules as graphs and processes them using a generative adversarial network that comprises graph transformer layers. Trained on large datasets of drug-like compounds and target-specific bioactive molecules, DrugGEN designed candidate inhibitors for AKT1, a kinase crucial in many cancers. Docking and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the generated compounds effectively bind to AKT1, and attention maps provide insights into the model’s reasoning. Furthermore, selected de novo molecules were synthesized and shown to inhibit AKT1 at low micromolar concentrations in the context of in vitro enzymatic assays. These results demonstrate the potential of DrugGEN for designing target-specific molecules. Using the open-access DrugGEN codebase, researchers can retrain the model for other druggable proteins, provided a dataset of known bioactive molecules is available. Inhibiting AKT1 kinase can have potentially positive uses against many types of cancer. To find novel molecules targeting this protein, a graph adversarial network is trained as a generative model.

As a pivotal branch of machine learning, manifold learning uncovers the intrinsic low-dimensional structure within complex non-linear manifolds in high-dimensional space for visualization, classification, clustering and gaining key insights. Although existing techniques have achieved remarkable successes, they suffer from extensive distortions of cluster structure, which hinders the understanding of underlying patterns. Scalability issues also limit their applicability for handling large-scale data. Here we propose a sampling-based scalable manifold learning technique that enables uniform and discriminative embedding (SUDE) for large-scale and high-dimensional data. It starts by seeking a set of landmarks to construct the low-dimensional skeleton of the entire data and then incorporates the non-landmarks into the learned space by constrained locally linear embedding. We empirically validated the effectiveness of SUDE on synthetic datasets and real-world benchmarks and applied it to analyse single-cell data and detect anomalies in electrocardiogram signals. SUDE exhibits a distinct advantage in scalability with respect to data size and embedding dimension and shows promising performance in cluster separation, integrity and global structure preservation. The experiments also demonstrate notable robustness in embedding quality as the sampling rate decreases. A sampling-based manifold learning method is proposed to study the cluster structure of high-dimensional data. Its applicability and scalability have been verified in single-cell data analysis and anomaly detection in electrocardiogram signals.
