Mapping the brain pathways of visual memorability
For the first time, researchers use a combination of MEG and fMRI to map the spatio-temporal human brain dynamics of a visual image being recognized.
To build a better AI helper, start by modeling the irrational behavior of humans
A new technique can be used to predict the actions of human or AI agents who behave suboptimally while working toward unknown goals.
A crossroads for computing at MIT
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing building will form a new cluster of connectivity across a spectrum of disciplines in computing and artificial intelligence.
New AI method captures uncertainty in medical images
By providing plausible label maps for one medical image, the Tyche machine-learning model could help clinicians and researchers capture crucial information.
A faster, better way to prevent an AI chatbot from giving toxic responses
Researchers create a curious machine-learning model that finds a wider variety of prompts for training a chatbot to avoid hateful or harmful output.
A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
Large language models use a surprisingly simple mechanism to retrieve some stored knowledge
Researchers demonstrate a technique that can be used to probe a model to see what it knows about new subjects.
Engineering household robots to have a little common sense
With help from a large language model, MIT engineers enabled robots to self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores.
AI generates high-quality images 30 times faster in a single step
Novel method makes tools like Stable Diffusion and DALL-E-3 faster by simplifying the image-generating process to a single step while maintaining or enhancing image quality.
