Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are key advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) capable of generating text, interpreting images, and understanding complex multimodal inputs, mimicking human intelligence. However, concerns arise due to their potential misuse and vulnerabilities to jailbreak attacks, where malicious inputs trick the models into generating harmful or objectionable…
Researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a method of teaching users when to collaborate with an artificial intelligence (AI) assistant. The model creates a customised onboarding process, educating users on when to trust or ignore an AI model’s advice. The training process can detect situations where the AI model is…
A committee consisting of leaders and scholars from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have released policy briefs that provide a blueprint for governing artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. The committee believes that existing regulatory and liability processes can be extended to regulate AI in the U.S. The goal is to strengthen U.S. leadership…
Justin Solomon is an associate professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory who is using geometric techniques to solve complex problems in data science and artificial intelligence, among other areas. These techniques draw upon the geometric structures within datasets to…
Photolithography, the technique of etching features onto a surface using light manipulation, is commonly used in the manufacturing of computer chips and optical devices. However, small deviations during the manufacturing process often impact the performance of the finished product. To address this, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have leveraged machine…
MIT researchers have found that computational models based on machine learning that simulate the human auditory system are drawing closer to potentially helping in the creation of improved hearing aids, cochlear implants and brain-machine interfaces. The study is the most comprehensive comparison so far made between these computer models and the human auditory system. Notably,…
Transformers have revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Large Language Models (LLMs), such as OpenAI's GPT series, BERT, and Claude series, etc. The advancement of Transformer Architecture brought about a new way of building models designed to understand and accurately generate human language.
The Transformer Model was introduced in 2017 through a research paper titled "Attention…
The transformer model has become a crucial technical component in AI, transforming areas such as language processing and machine translation. Despite its success, a common criticism is its standard method of uniformly assigning computational resources across an input sequence, failing to acknowledge the varying computational demands of different parts of a data sequence. This simplified…
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed an onboarding system that trains humans when and how to collaborate with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The fully automated system learns to customize the onboarding process according to the tasks performed, making it usable across a variety of scenarios where AI…
A group of scholars and leaders from MIT has developed policy briefs to establish a governance framework for artificial intelligence (AI). The briefs are intended to assist U.S. policymakers, sustain the country's leadership position in AI, limit potential risks from new technologies, and explore how AI can benefit society.
The primary policy paper, "A Framework for…
Over 2,000 years after Euclid's groundbreaking work in geometry, MIT associate professor Justin Solomon is using the ancient principles in fresh, modern ways. Solomon's work in the Geometric Data Processing Group applies geometry to solve a variety of problems, from comparing datasets in machine learning to enhancing generative AI models. His work assumes a variety…
Researchers at MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning tool to emulate photolithography manufacturing processes. Photolithography is commonly used in the production of computer chips and optical devices, manipulating light to etch features onto surfaces. Variations in the manufacturing process can cause the end products to deviate from their…
