A committee formed by MIT scholars and leaders has released a series of policy briefs that propose a framework for artificial intelligence (AI) governance in the United States. The proposed approach extends existing regulatory and liability procedures to manage AI effectively. The committee believes this could boost the country's leadership position in AI while minimizing…
Over 2,000 years ago, Euclid, the Greek mathematician, laid the foundation of geometry and altered our perception of shapes. Justin Solomon, inspired by Euclid's work, applies modern geometric techniques to resolve challenging problems that may not appear related to shapes. As an associate professor at the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and…
An MIT study has been making strides towards developing computational models that mimic the human auditory system, which could enhance the design of hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. These computational models stem from advances in machine learning. The study found that internal representations generated by deep neural networks often mirror those within the…
A group of MIT researchers has developed a new machine learning model which rapidly calculates the structure of transition states during chemical reactions. This fleeting moment is a crucial "point of no return" in reactions. Although this transition state is vital to understanding the pathway of the reaction, it has been notoriously difficult to observe…
A group of leaders and scholars from MIT has released a set of policy briefs aimed at developing a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States. The goal of this framework is to enhance US leadership in AI while mitigating potential risks and exploring the benefits of AI deployment.
The main…
Justin Solomon, an Associate Professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), is leveraging geometric techniques to tackle complex problems in data science. Quite often, these problems are seemingly unrelated to shapes. For example, when a…
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a digital simulator that mimics the photolithography process, a technique used to manufacture computer chips and optical devices. The project marks the first use of actual data from a photolithography system in the construction of a simulator.
This advancement could…
A study by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers has indicated that computational models that perform auditory tasks could speed up the development of improved hearing aids, cochlear implants, and brain-machine interfaces. In the study, the largest ever conducted into deep neural network-based models trained to perform hearing-related functions, it was found that most mimic…
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a machine learning-based method to swiftly calculate the structures of transition states, crucial moments in chemical reactions. This state, at which molecules attain the necessary energy for a reaction, is important but fleetingly transient and difficult to experimentally observe. Calculating these structures…
The development of Large Language Models (LLMs) has depicted significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in generating text, reasoning, and decision-making in a manner resembling human-like abilities. Despite such advancements, achieving alignment with human ethics and values remains a complex issue. Traditional methodologies such as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) have…
As artificial intelligence continues to develop, researchers are facing challenges with fine-tuning large language models (LLMs). This process, which improves task performance and ensures that AI behaviors align with instructions, is costly because it requires significant GPU memory. This is especially problematic for large models like LLaMA 6.5B and GPT-3 175B.
To overcome these challenges, researchers…
