Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown great potential in natural language processing tasks such as summarization and question answering, using zero-shot and few-shot prompting approaches. However, these prompts are insufficient for enabling LLMs to operate as agents navigating environments to carry out complex, multi-step tasks. One reason for this is the lack of adequate training…
Researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have pioneered a multifaceted approach to determine the transporters used by various drugs to exit the digestive tract. Leveraging tissue models and machine-learning algorithms, the team has discovered that doxycycline (an antibiotic) and warfarin (a blood thinner) can interfere with each other’s absorption.
All orally consumed…
MIT researchers have developed a technique to train robots on multiple tasks by combining and optimising data from a variety of sources. At the core of their work is a type of generative AI known as a 'diffusion model', which learns from a specific dataset to complete a task. However, the particular innovation here lies…
A team of MIT researchers have developed a novel cryptographic ID tag to tackle product counterfeiting. This tag, which is remarkably smaller and cost-efficient than traditional radio frequency tags (RFIDs), uses terahertz waves to perform authentication. The small size of terahertz waves and their greater frequency compared to radio waves make them ideal for this…
Drugs taken orally must pass through the digestive tract, aided by transporter proteins found in the lining of the tract. If two drugs use the same transporter, they can interfere with each other. Addressing this issue, a team of researchers from MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a strategy to identify…
In 2010, MIT Media Lab students Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones initiated a project to develop a tool that could assist content moderation teams at firms such as Twitter and YouTube. They were invited to showcase their innovation at a White House summit on cyberbullying, however, the demo failed to identify problematic posts because of…
Researchers in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made considerable advances in the development and application of large language models (LLMs). These models are capable of understanding and generating human language, and hold the potential to transform how we interact with machines and handle information-processing tasks. However, one persistent challenge is their performance in…
MIT researchers have developed an anti-tampering ID tag that provides improved security compared to traditional radio frequency ID (RFID) tags that are commonly used for authentication.
The new tag, which is smaller, cheaper, and more secure than RFIDs, uses terahertz (THz) waves for authentication. However, like traditional RFIDs, it faced a vulnerability where counterfeiters could…
