MIT-Pillar AI Collective announces first seed grant recipients

Six teams conducting research in AI, data science, and machine learning receive funding for projects that have potential commercial applications.

Bringing the social and ethical responsibilities of computing to the forefront

The inaugural SERC Symposium convened experts from multiple disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise with the broad applicability of computing in many aspects of society.

New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery

By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.

MIT researchers make language models scalable self-learners

The scientists used a natural language-based logical inference dataset to create smaller language models that outperformed much larger counterparts.

Scaling audio-visual learning without labels

A new multimodal technique blends major self-supervised learning methods to learn more similarly to humans.

A more effective way to train machines for uncertain, real-world situations

Researchers develop an algorithm that decides when a “student” machine should follow its teacher, and when it should learn on its own.

New tool helps people choose the right method for evaluating AI models

Selecting the right method gives users a more accurate picture of how their model is behaving, so they are better equipped to correctly interpret its predictions.

Researchers use AI to identify similar materials in images

This machine-learning method could assist with robotic scene understanding, image editing, or online recommendation systems.

Using data to write songs for progress

Senior Ananya Gurumurthy adds her musical talents to her math and computer science studies to advocate using data for social change.

Is medicine ready for AI? Doctors, computer scientists, and policymakers are cautiously optimistic

With the artificial intelligence conversation now mainstream, the 2023 MIT-MGB AI Cures conference saw attendance double from previous years.
