GraphReader: An AI Agent System Built on Graph-structures for Managing Extensive Texts by Organizing them into Graphs and Utilizing an Agent for Independent Exploration of these Graphs.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have played a notable role in enhancing the understanding and generation of natural language. They have, however, faced challenges in processing long contexts due to restrictions in context window size and memory usage. This has spawned research to address these limitations and come up with ways of making the LLMs work…

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

Scientists led by Themistoklis Sapsis at MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering have developed a strategy to "correct" the predictions of coarse global climate models, enhancing the accuracy of risk analysis for extreme weather events. Global climate models, used by policymakers to assess a community's risk of severe weather, can predict weather patterns decades or even…
