Using the principles of geometry, Justin Solomon, an associate professor in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, is tackling complex problems in data science and computer graphics. Building on Euclid’s ancient foundations of geometry, Solomon is leveraging geometric techniques to solve problems that are seemingly unrelated to shapes. He asserts that the language…
Researchers from MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning-powered digital simulator that can accurately replicate a particular photolithography manufacturing process. Photolithography is a technique used to intricately etch features onto surfaces, often used in the creation of computer chips and optical devices. Despite its precision, tiny deviations in the…
A committee of leaders and scholars from MIT has developed a series of policy briefs aimed at establishing a framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. The briefs propose extending existing regulatory and liability approaches in a practical manner to oversee AI.
The main paper, titled “A Framework for U.S. AI Governance:…
Over two millennia ago, Greek mathematician Euclid laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of geometry. Today, that work serves as the bedrock for researchers like Justin Solomon, who uses geometry to address complex problems - many of which seem unrelated to shapes at first glance. Solomon is an associate professor at MIT's Department of…
Researchers at MIT and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have developed a machine learning-powered digital simulator for the photolithography process, frequently used in the manufacture of computer chips and optical devices. The team has built a digital simulator that can model the photolithography system based on real-world data, allowing for a greater level of…
A committee of leaders and scholars from MIT has developed a policy framework for the governance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the United States. The aim of these policy briefs is to enhance U.S. leadership in AI and limit the potential harm from new technologies while promoting awareness of the societal benefits of AI deployment.
The…
Mathematician Justin Solomon is using modern geometric techniques to solve complex problems, often unrelated to shapes. He explains that geometric tools can be used to compare datasets, providing insight into the performance of machine-learning models. He asserted the significance of distance, similarity, curvature, and shape, all derived from geometry, in discussing data.
His Geometric Data…
Photolithography is an important process in the manufacture of computer chips and optical devices like lenses, using light to carve precise features onto a surface. However, minor deviations during the manufacturing process can lead to these devices underperforming when compared to the original designs. To address this issue, researchers from MIT and the Chinese University…
Hydrogen, one of the most abundant elements in the Universe, mainly exists alongside other elements. However, the discovery of naturally occurring underground pockets of pure hydrogen is increasingly attracting attention as an unlimited source of carbon-free energy. In fact, the US Department of Energy recently awarded $20 million in research grants to 18 teams to…
Over two millennia ago, the ancient mathematician Euclid, widely recognized as the father of geometry, shifted our perspective on shapes. Today, Justin Solomon of MIT uses contemporary geometric methods to tackle complex challenges seemingly unrelated to shapes. Solomon utilizes geometric tools to analyze high-dimensional datasets, providing insights about the potential performance of machine learning models.…
