A computer scientist is expanding the limits of geometry.

More than two millennia ago, Greek mathematician Euclid, seen by many as the originator of geometry, significantly influenced our comprehension of shapes. Fast forward to today, Justin Solomon, using advanced geometric techniques, is resolving challenging issues that appear unrelated to shapes on the surface. Solomon, an associate professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering…

The automated mechanism instructs users on the optimal times to work in conjunction with an AI assistant.

Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed an automated training system that can guide users on when and how to collaborate with AI models effectively. The system, designed to adapt to multiple tasks, does this by training users using data from the interaction between the human and AI for a specific…

The automated system instructs users on the appropriate times for cooperating with an AI assistant.

MIT and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers have developed an automated system that trains users to effectively collaborate with artificial intelligence (AI). The system, which is designed to be customized for different tasks, identifies the circumstances under which a user should pay attention to the AI's recommendations and describes these conditions in natural language. Initially,…

The team from MIT publishes research reports on the regulation of Artificial Intelligence.

A group of MIT leaders and scholars have released a series of policy briefs aimed at guiding U.S. policymakers in governing artificial intelligence (AI). The objective is to extend current regulatory and liability frameworks to cover AI, thereby limiting potential harm, and promoting social benefits resulting from its deployment. The central paper entitled “A Framework for…

A computer science professional is advancing the limits of geometry.

Over 2000 years ago, Greek mathematician Euclid drastically influenced how we perceive shapes. Adding a modern facet to these ancient teachings, Justin Solomon is leveraging modern geometric methods to confront complex issues often unrelated to shapes. As an Associate Professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of MIT’s…

A computer engineer is pushing the limits in the field of geometry.

Drawing influence from over 2,000 years ago, MIT Professor Justin Solomon is building upon the works of Greek mathematician Euclid - the father of geometry, using modern geometric techniques to tackle difficult problems, often not related to shapes. Solomon works in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science as part of the Computer Science…

An automated setup instructs users about the appropriate timing for cooperation with an AI assistant.

Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a system that educates a user on when to trust an AI assistant's recommendations. During the onboarding process, the user practices collaborating with the AI using training exercises and receives feedback on their and the AI's performance. This system led to a 5% improvement…

MIT researchers investigating the influence and uses of generative AI have received the second installment of seed funding.

Last summer, MIT called upon the academic community to provide papers that suggest effective approaches and policy recommendations in the field of generative AI. Expectations were surpassed when 75 proposals were received. After reviewing these submissions, the institution funded 27 of the proposed projects. During the fall, the response to a second call for proposals…

Surprisingly, large language models utilize a fairly straightforward method to access stored information.

Large language models (LLMs), such as those used in AI chatbots, are complex, and scientists are still trying to understand how they function. Researchers from MIT and other institutions conducted a study to understand how these models retrieve stored knowledge. They found that LLMs usually use a simple linear function to recover and decode information.…

What is the future outlook for generative AI?

At the "Generative AI: Shaping the Future" symposium, kickstarting MIT's Generative AI Week, iRobot co-founder and keynote speaker, Rodney Brooks, warned attendees not to overly idealise the potential of this emerging technology. Both OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard are examples of increasingly powerful tools underpinned by generative AI. Brooks emphasised that the unsubstantiated hype around…
