A novel Artificial Intelligence technique records ambiguity within medical imaging.

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…

The team from MIT has published research papers on the management of Artificial Intelligence.

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…

A computational expert advances the frontiers of geometric studies.

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 computational model successfully depicts the hard-to-capture transitional stages of chemical reactions.

A group of MIT researchers has developed a new machine learning model which rapidly calculates the structure of transition states during chemical reactions. This fleeting moment is a crucial "point of no return" in reactions. Although this transition state is vital to understanding the pathway of the reaction, it has been notoriously difficult to observe…

A computer scientist expands the dimensions of geometry.

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…

Bridging the gap between design and production for optical devices

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…

The computational model successfully records the hard-to-capture transition stages of chemical reactions.

A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a machine learning-based method to swiftly calculate the structures of transition states, crucial moments in chemical reactions. This state, at which molecules attain the necessary energy for a reaction, is important but fleetingly transient and difficult to experimentally observe. Calculating these structures…

MIT team publishes research papers on the management of artificial intelligence.

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…
