A computer scientist stretches the limits of geometry.

The Greek mathematician Euclid is renowned for laying the groundwork of geometry more than 2,000 years ago. In present times, Justin Solomon, an Associate Professor at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is deriving inspiration from Euclid's fundamental theories and using modern geometric techniques to solve complex problems. Remarkably, these issues frequently bear…

A versatile approach to assist animators in enhancing their artwork.

A new technique developed by researchers from MIT promises to revolutionize how artists animate characters in video games and animated films. Utilizing mathematical functions called barycentric coordinates, which define how 2D and 3D shapes can move, bend, and stretch in space, will give animators greater control over the motion of characters. Traditional animating methods often provide…

An adaptable approach to assist creators in enhancing animation.

A group of MIT researchers have developed a technique that will allow artists better control over their 3D animations. The method uses mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, allowing 3D shapes to be manipulated. This offers more flexibility than traditional animation methods, which require starting from scratch for every change in animation. The developed method…

A computer science expert is expanding the frontiers of geometry.

Over 2,000 years ago, Greek mathematician Euclid, often called the father of geometry, revolutionized the understanding of shapes. In today's technological era, a 21st-century geometer, Justin Solomon, uses sophisticated techniques to solve complex problems related to shapes but often unrelated to them. Solomon applies geometry to study datasets for comparing their effectiveness in machine learning…

A novel approach to AI successfully encapsulates ambiguity present in medical imagery.

In the field of biomedicine, segmentation refers to the process of highlighting important structures in a medical image, from organs to cells. Artificial intelligence (AI) models are starting to play a pivotal role in this task, but there are limitations with most existing models, mainly due to the fact that they are unable to factor…

A novel Artificial Intelligence technique records ambiguity within medical imaging.

A team at MIT, along with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital, has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help navigate the uncertainty in medical image analysis. The tool, named Tyche, provides multiple possible interpretations of a medical image rather than the single answer typically provided by AI…
