Robot learns to play "dirty" Scrabble
Eyal Amir, an assistant professor and PhD candidate Mark Richards, from the Department of Computer Science at Illinois, develop a program to predict which letter tiles other players hold, and use this information to choose moves which block a high-scoring word that an opponent might otherwise have played. Highly artificial?

Artificial Intelligence could speed up radiation therapy for cancer patients
A subfield of artificial intelligence, machine learning is based on the development of algorithms that allow computers to learn relationships in large datasets from examples. Radke and his coworkers have tested their algorithm on 10 prostate cancer patients at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. They found that for 70 percent of the cases, the algorithm automatically determined an appropriate radiation therapy plan in about 10 minutes.
