Bayesian neural networks advance understanding of gut microbe metabolism

Gut bacteria are known to be a key factor in many health-related concerns. However, the number and variety of them is vast, as are the ways in which they interact with the body's chemistry and each other.

New AI Tool Illuminates Bacterial Impact on Body Chemistry

Gut bacteria are well-known for playing an important role in a variety of health issues. However, their quantity and variety are immense, as are the ways in which they interact with the body’s chemistry and with one another.

AI helps researchers to demystify gut bacteria

Researchers from the University of Tokyo have used a special kind of artificial intelligence (AI) called a Bayesian neural network to probe a dataset of gut bacteria in order to find relationships that current analytical tools could not reliably identify.The human body includes about 30 trillion to 40 trillion cells, but your intestines contain about 100 trillion gut bacteria. Technically, you're carrying around more cells that aren't part of yo…
