In the field of biomedicine, segmentation refers to the process of highlighting important structures in a medical image, from organs to cells. Artificial intelligence (AI) models are starting to play a pivotal role in this task, but there are limitations with most existing models, mainly due to the fact that they are unable to factor…
A team at MIT, along with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Massachusetts General Hospital, has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help navigate the uncertainty in medical image analysis. The tool, named Tyche, provides multiple possible interpretations of a medical image rather than the single answer typically provided by AI…
MIT’s Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing has opened its new headquarters in Building 45, creating a hub for computing on campus. The building is considered a physical manifestation of the college's mission to fortify core computer science and AI, integrate computing throughout MIT, and advance the social, ethical and policy considerations of the discipline.

The MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing has recently inaugurated its new headquarters in Building 45, fostering a new hub of connectivity at MIT. The structure serves as a computing crossroads for the campus and aims to catalyze collaborations in computing, and houses research groups from multiple departments and labs.
Approximately 178,000 square feet in…
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…
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…
MIT has released a series of policy briefs surrounding the governance of artificial intelligence (AI), with a focus on extending current regulatory and liability practices. Intended to strengthen U.S. leadership in AI, these policies aim to mitigate potential harm and promote beneficial exploration of the technology. The primary paper suggests that existing government entities overseeing…
Using the principles of geometry, Justin Solomon, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is tackling complex problems in data science and computer graphics. Building on Euclid’s ancient foundations of geometry, Solomon is leveraging geometric techniques to solve problems that are seemingly unrelated to shapes. He asserts that the language…
