A group of New England Innovation Academy students have developed a mobile app that highlights deforestation trends in Massachusetts as part of a project for the Day of AI, a curriculum developed by the MIT Responsible AI for Social Empowerment and Education (RAISE) initiative. The TreeSavers app aims to educate users about the effects of…
GenSQL, a new AI tool developed by scientists at MIT, is designed to simplify the complex statistical analysis of tabular data, enabling users to readily understand and interpret their databases. To this end, users don't need to grasp what is happening behind the scenes to develop accurate insights.
The system's capabilities include making predictions, identifying anomalies,…
A new technique has been proposed by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other institutions that allows large language models (LLMs) to solve tasks involving natural language, math and data analysis, and symbolic reasoning by generating programs. Known as natural language embedded programs (NLEPs), the approach enables a language model to create…
In June 2007, Apple introduced the first iPhone, featuring an App Store exclusively for approved applications. This decision, however, excluded educators from incorporating burgeoning mobile app development into education. Simultaneously, Hal Abelson, an MIT professor on sabbatical at Google, was contemplating Google's response to Apple's grip on the mobile software market. Both Abelson and Google…
Associate Professor Jonathan Ragan-Kelley at the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is a creator behind many innovative technologies used in photographic image processing and editing. Ragan-Kelley has contributed to the visual effects industry and was instrumental in designing the Halide programming language, a tool widely used in the photo editing sector.
Ragan-Kelley,…
Researchers at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) presented three papers at the International Conference on Learning Representations, indicating breakthroughs in Large Language Models' (LLMs) abilities to form useful abstractions. The team used everyday words for context in code synthesis, AI planning, and robotic navigation and manipulation.
The three frameworks, LILO, Ada,…
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…
