Sendhil Mullainathan brings a lifetime of unique perspectives to research in behavioral economics and machine learning.

New tool evaluates progress in reinforcement learning

“IntersectionZoo,” a benchmarking tool, uses a real-world traffic problem to test progress in deep reinforcement learning algorithms.

Novel AI model inspired by neural dynamics from the brain

New type of “state-space model” leverages principles of harmonic oscillators.

Designing a new way to optimize complex coordinated systems

Using diagrams to represent interactions in multipart systems can provide a faster way to design software improvements.

“Periodic table of machine learning” could fuel AI discovery

Researchers have created a unifying framework that can help scientists combine existing ideas to improve AI models or create new ones.

Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language

A new technique automatically guides an LLM toward outputs that adhere to the rules of whatever programming language or other format is being used.

A faster way to solve complex planning problems

By eliminating redundant computations, a new data-driven method can streamline processes like scheduling trains, routing delivery drivers, or assigning airline crews.

Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language

A new method from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab helps large language models to steer their own responses toward safer, more ethical, value-aligned outputs.
