Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a digital simulator using machine learning to optimize the manufacturing process used in fabricating devices like computer chips and lenses. This technology, known as photolithography, manipulates light to precisely etch features onto a surface, but minute deviations can…
A new study by MIT researchers reveals that computational models derived from machine learning, similar to the human auditory system, could significantly enhance the development of hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. This is the largest study so far that delves into deep neural networks trained to perform auditory tasks. These models produced internal…
During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a position termed the transition state. Existing at a level of energy where the reaction has no choice but to proceed, the transition state's transient nature makes it extremely difficult to observe experimentally. Its structures can be calculated using quantum chemistry-based techniques, but these are…
The world of mobile gaming is persistently evolving, with a continually intense focus on creating personalized and engaging experiences. Traditional methodologies to decipher player behaviour have become grossly inadequate due to the rapidly paced, dynamic nature of gaming. Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, have proposed an innovative solution.
A paper released by the…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a crucial tool in artificial intelligence, capable of handling a variety of tasks, from natural language processing to complex decision-making. However, these models face significant challenges, especially regarding data memorization, which is pivotal in generalizing different types of data, particularly tabular data.
LLMs such as GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are effective…
Federated learning (FL) is a revolutionary concept in artificial intelligence that permits the collective training of machine learning (ML) models across various devices and locations without jeopardizing personal data security. However, carrying out research in FL is challenging due to the difficulties in effectively simulating realistic, large-scale FL scenarios. Existing tools lack the speed and…
Justin Solomon, an associate professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), is using advanced geometric techniques to deal with complex issues that don't seemingly have any connection with geometry. Solomon explains that geometric terms like distance, similarity, and…
More than 2000 years after Greek mathematician Euclid revolutionized the understanding of shapes, MIT associate professor Justin Solomon uses modern geometric techniques to resolve complex problems that seemingly have little to do with shapes. Adopting these techniques to compare two datasets for machine learning model performance, Solomon argues that geometric tools can reveal whether the…
Photolithography is a crucial technique in the production of computer chips and optical devices, but it is susceptible to micro discrepancies which can result in the final devices not performing as designed. MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong researchers have helped resolve this issue, using machine learning to create a digital simulator that…
Researchers from MIT have moved closer to creating computational models that effectively mimic the structure and function of the human auditory system. Utilizing machine learning, they developed models that could help improve hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. The recent study showed that most deep learning models, trained to execute auditory tasks, generated internal…
During a chemical reaction, molecules gain energy until they reach a transition state. This is a point from which the reaction must proceed. However, this state is brief and almost impossible to observe experimentally.
Traditionally, the structures of these transition states have been calculated with methods rooted in quantum chemistry. This process is extremely time-consuming. The…
