Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) presented three papers at the International Conference on Learning Representations, indicating breakthroughs in Large Language Models' (LLMs) abilities to form useful abstractions. The team used everyday words for context in code synthesis, AI planning, and robotic navigation and manipulation.
The three frameworks, LILO, Ada,…
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…
MIT's Improbable AI Lab has developed a novel multimodal framework for artificial intelligence (AI) called the Compositional Foundation Models for Hierarchical Planning (HiP). The aim of this system is to help robots conduct complex tasks that involve numerous smaller steps, from household chores to more elaborate industrial processes.
Traditionally, AI systems have required paired visual,…
MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) scientists, in collaboration with Limor Appelbaum, a scientist in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), have developed two machine-learning models for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. The two models PRISM and the logistic regression model both surpassed current diagnostic methods.…
