This method may effectively resolve partial differential equations for a multitude of uses.

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are used in fields like physics and engineering to model complex physical processes, offering insight into some of the world's most intricate systems. To solve these equations, researchers use high-fidelity numerical solvers, which are time-consuming and computationally expensive. A simplified alternative, data-driven surrogate models, compute the goal property of a solution…

It is more challenging for physicians to identify diseases when examining images of darker skin tones.

AI technology could help improve doctors' accuracy when diagnosing skin diseases in individuals with darker skin, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found. The study involved over 1,000 dermatologists and general practitioners, with dermatologists correctly identifying roughly 38% of skin conditions seen in images, but this figure dropped to 34% where patients had…

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…

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…

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…
