Humans naturally learn by making connections between sight and sound. For instance, we can watch someone playing the cello and recognize that the cellist's movements are generating the music we hear. A new approach developed by researchers from MIT and elsewhere improves an AI model's ability to learn in this same fashion.

The results could help scientists and policymakers develop more effective strategies for improving both air quality and human health. Ground-level ozone causes a host of detrimental health impacts, from asthma to heart disease, and contributes to thousands of premature deaths each year.
