Computer modeling

An algorithm developed at MIT assists in predicting the occurrence rate of severe weather.

Scientists from MIT and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a way to increase the accuracy of large-scale climate models, allowing for more precise predictions of extreme weather incidents in specific locations. Their process involves using machine learning in tandem with existing climate models to make the models' predictions closer to real-world observations. This…

Start developing a more efficient AI assistant by first understanding and replicating the unpredictable actions of humans.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have created a model that can predict a human's decision-making behaviour by learning from their past actions. The model incorporates the understanding that humans can behave sub-optimally due to computational constraints — essentially the idea that humans can't spend indefinitely long periods considering the…

Employing deep learning for imaging the Earth’s atmospheric boundary layer.

The planetary boundary layer (PBL), the lowest layer of the troposphere, significantly influences weather near the Earth's surface and holds the potential to enhance storm forecasting and improve climate projections. A research team from Lincoln Laboratory's Applied Space Systems Group has been studying the PBL with a focus on deploying machine learning for creating 3-D…

An algorithm developed at MIT aids in predicting the occurrence of severe weather events.

Assessing a community’s risk of extreme weather events – such as catastrophic storms and catastrophic flooding – is a key task for policymakers who are trying to prepare for the potential impacts of global climate change. Despite major advancements in technology and modeling techniques, however, these forecasts leave a lot to be desired. Now, a…

Reprogramming domestic robots to possess a certain degree of common sense.

Robots are becoming increasingly adept at handling complex household tasks, from cleaning messes to serving meals. However, their ability to handle unexpected disturbances or difficulties during these tasks has been a challenge. Common scenarios like a nudge or a slight mistake that deviates the robot from its expected path can cause the robot to restart…
