Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have created a model that can accurately predict and assess human and machine behaviour to support more effective AI-human collaboration. The model can compute the behavioural constraints of an individual or machine by evaluating data related to previous actions. The resulting "inference budget" can be utilised to…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a secure and efficient machine-learning accelerator. This would help avoid common cyber threats and ensure sensitive data, like health records and financial information, remain private while still enabling AI models to run on devices. The development represents a significant step in guaranteeing the security…
Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have created a model to predict the decision-making behavior of both human and AI agents, even in the presence of unknown computational constraints. The system is designed to infer the 'inference budget' of a given agent, in other words, how much time or computational resource they are…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator capable of maintaining user privacy while running large AI models efficiently on devices. Although it might increase device cost and reduce energy efficiency, lead author Maitreyi Ashok, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student at MIT, believes these are…
Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a method to model the behavior of agents, either human or artificial, accounting for potential unknown computational constraints that could affect their problem-solving abilities. This model can predict an agent’s future behavior based on a few instances of their past actions - what they term…
MIT and MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers have invented a machine-learning chip resistant to the most common forms of cyberattacks. The technology caters to increasing demand for secure health-monitoring apps for individuals with chronic diseases or fitness goals, as well as for hardware-heavy uses such as autonomous vehicles and virtual reality. Health records and other…
Tornadoes are one of nature's most destructive and unpredictable forces, causing billions of dollars in damages and claiming lives every year. Though they are difficult to predict, a new open-source dataset created by researchers from the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, known as TorNet, offers hope in improving our detection and prediction abilities. Composed of radar images…
To construct AI systems that can effectively collaborate with humans, a comprehensive model of human behavior is pivotal, however, humans often exhibit suboptimal decision-making. Linking this irrationality to computational limitations, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Washington have presented an innovative technique to model the behavior of a human…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator that can resist the two most common types of cyberattacks while maintaining the functionality of large Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, according to senior author Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT’s chief innovation and strategy officer, dean of the School of Engineering, and the Vannevar…
Researchers at MIT Lincoln Laboratory have introduced an open-source dataset called TorNet in an attempt to enable enhanced detection and prediction of tornadoes. The dataset comprises radar returns from thousands of tornadoes that struck the US over the past decade and includes copies of storms that generated tornadoes as well as other extreme weather events…
