Machine learning

The role of symmetry in assisting machine learning processes.

In 2021, while studying differential equations, MIT PhD student Behrooz Tahmasebi discovered a possible connection between Weyl’s law — a mathematical formula used to measure the complexity of data contained within frequencies such as a drum or guitar string — and computer science. He hypothesized that the application of a specific version of the law…

Six students from MIT have been chosen as fellows for the MIT-Pillar AI Collective in the spring of 2024.

The MIT-Pillar AI Collective, a partnership between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) School of Engineering and Pillar VC, has named six fellows for the spring 2024 semester. Each fellow is a graduate student in their final year of a master's or PhD program who will conduct research in the fields of AI, machine learning,…

An innovative method enables AI chatbots to engage in conversation continuously without any system breakdowns.

Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a method to prevent AI chatbots from failing during extensive conversations. The team's solution centres on the key-value cache (KV Cache), or the chatbot's memory, within language models. Existing models often fail when the cache is overloaded with information, as incoming data pushes out the initial data.…

The new system pinpoints medications that should not be concurrently consumed.

Researchers at MIT, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Duke University have developed a method for identifying the protein transporters different drugs use to traverse the digestive tract. This could help to avoid dangerous drug interactions and enhance patient treatment as two medications that use the same transporter may interact negatively if prescribed together. The method…

Empowering individuals facing challenges with the utilization of Artificial Intelligence.

In 2010, Media Lab students at MIT Karthik Dinakar and Birago Jones began working on a project to help content moderation teams of companies like Twitter and YouTube. They developed an AI model to identify sensitive posts, but soon realized that the terminology and language used by some users was overlooked by the model. Challenged…

AI Generation for Intelligent Grid Simulation

The Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems (LIDS) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has received a grant of $1,365,000 from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The funding supports LIDS's role in the "Forming the Smart Grid Deployment Consortium (SGDC) and Expanding the HILLTOP+ Platform" project. Made available through ARC's Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger…

“We provide an alternative venue for learning.”

Jospin Hassan, a resident of Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, realized the lack of educational opportunities in his environment, particularly in cutting-edge fields like data science and artificial intelligence that can offer employment opportunities and solutions to local challenges. This led him to establish his organization, ADAI Circle, after he earned a spot in the…

A new AI model has the potential to enhance efficiency in robotic warehouses.

MIT researchers have developed a deep-learning model to help robots navigate crowded warehouses, where congestion can slow operations and even lead to crashes. The model does this by dividing the robots into smaller groups and using a path-finding algorithm to decongest each group more quickly. Researchers described the process as being similar to mitigating traffic…

Navigating through the challenges of our clamorous planet.

Tamara Broderick, a once participant of the Women's Technology Program at MIT, found her path back to the institution years later, but as a faculty member. Broderick, a tenured associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), works in the field of Bayesian inference, which is a statistical approach to measure…

Startup hastens advancements towards computing at the speed of light.

As traditional semiconductor technologies approach their physical limits, the demand for computing power continues to rise, largely driven by the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI). Addressing this conundrum, Lightmatter, a company founded by three MIT alumni, has developed pioneering computing technology that harnesses the properties of light to bolster data processing and transport. Lightmatter’s…

Improving software testing through the application of generative AI.

Generative AI is being recognized for its capacity to produce both text and images. Establishment and application of generative AI to produce realistic synthetic data about various scenarios can assist businesses to improve services, reroute planes, or upgrading software platforms, especially in cases where tangible-world data is scarce or sensitive. For the preceding three years, a…
