The recent ransomware attack on ChangeHealthcare underscores the disruptive nature of supply chain attacks. Such attacks are becoming increasingly prominent and often target large corporations through the small and medium-sized vendors in their corporate supply chains. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany, are investigating different organizational…
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,…
During the Festival of Learning 2024 at MIT, discussions were held on leveraging generative AI to enhance learning experiences for students both on and off campus. The panelists, comprising MIT faculty, instructors, staff, and students, emphasized that generative AI should be used to enrich, not replace, the educational experience. They highlighted the ongoing experimentation with…
In the MIT Festival of Learning 2024, faculty, students, staff, and alumni explored the role of generative AI in learning and teaching. Some believe that this technology is an essential tool to prepare students for the future of work.
Generative AI can be used to support learning experiences, where the student can take ownership. For…
A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has created a technique that allows animators to have a more significant scale of control over their works. The researchers have developed a method that produces mathematical functions known as "barycentric coordinates," which indicate how 2D and 3D shapes can move, stretch, and contour in space.…
Artists behind animated movies and video games may soon have greater control over their animations through a new technique devised by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The approach employs barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that articulate how 2D and 3D figures can be manipulated through space.
Existing solutions are often limited, providing a single…
A new technique for maximizing control over animations has been developed by researchers at MIT. The technique offers animators the ability to mold the movements and image of characters in 2D and 3D animations to their individual requirements, through the use of barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that determine how shapes flex, bend and move in…
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a technique that enables digital artists more versatility in how they move their animations of 2D and 3D shapes. Traditionally, artists had limited choices when it came to defining movements using mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates.
The researchers suggest that existing solutions are rigid and…
A team of MIT researchers has developed a new technique that gives animators greater control over their creations in video games and animated films. Their method uses mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, which determine how 2D and 3D shapes can bend, stretch, and move within a given space. This offers a significant improvement to…
Researchers at MIT have developed a new technique that gives animators greater control over their designs in animated films and video games. This method uses mathematical functions, known as barycentric coordinates, to define how 2D and 3D forms can bend, stretch and move in space. Animators, therefore, have the option to choose functions that fit…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have introduced a technique that could provide artists working on animated movies and video games greater control over their creations. The method employs mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, enabling 2D and 3D shapes to move, stretch, and bend in space according to an artist's vision.
The new…
