Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a model that can predict an agent's potential computational limitations, and therefore their decision-making process, simply by observing past behaviour. Referred to as an "inference budget," this could enable AI systems to better predict human behaviour. The research paper demonstrates this modelling method within the…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a novel machine-learning accelerator that can protect sensitive data like health records from two common types of cybersecurity threats while efficiently running large AI models. This advancement could make an noticable impact on challenging AI applications, such as augmented and virtual reality, autonomous driving…
Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a new way to model human behaviour by accounting for unknown computational constraints that may impact problem-solving abilities. This new model enables an agent, human or machine, to infer another agent's computational constraints from their previous actions. The resulting 'inference budget' can be used to…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator designed to be resistant to cyber-attacks, offering a secure platform for health-monitoring applications. The chip secures users' data whilst running large artificial intelligence (AI) models efficiently, protecting sensitive health and financial information.

Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have developed a computational model that can predict an intelligent agent's behaviors based on its "inference budget" (i.e. the limits on its computational resources). This was accomplished by using an algorithm that recorded all the decisions made by the agent within a given period of time. They…
Health-monitoring applications have become pivotal in managing chronic diseases and tracking fitness goals, largely due to the advent of machine-learning powered tools. However, these applications are often slow and energy-inefficient, largely due to the massive machine-learning models that require transfer between a smartphone and a central memory server. Despite the development of machine-learning accelerators that…
Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have devised a model to predict the behaviour of AI systems and humans. The model factors in the indefinite computational constraints which may hinder an agent's problem-solving skills. By analysing only a few instances of previous actions, the model can predict an agent's future behaviour. The findings…
To build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system that can work effectively with humans, it's critical to have an accurate model of human behavior. However, humans often act less optimally when making decisions, and these irrational behaviors are challenging to imitate. This is due to computational constraints - a person cannot dedicate decades to finding an…
Researchers from MIT and the University of Washington have developed a computational model to predict human behavior while taking into account the suboptimal decisions humans often make due to computational constraints. The researchers believe such a model could help AI systems anticipate and counterbalance human-derived errors, enhancing the efficacy of AI-human collaboration.
Suboptimal decision-making is characteristic…
Researchers at MIT and the University of Washington have successfully developed a model that can infer an agent's computational constraints from observing a few samples of their past actions. The findings could potentially enhance the ability of AI systems to collaborate more effectively with humans. The scientists found that human decision-making often deviates from optimal,…
A team of researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab has developed a machine-learning accelerator that is resistant to the two most common types of cyberattacks. This ensures that sensitive information such as finance and health records remain private while still enabling large AI models to run efficiently on devices.
The researchers targeted…
