“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.

3D modeling you can feel

TactStyle, a system developed by CSAIL researchers, uses image prompts to replicate both the visual appearance and tactile properties of 3D models.

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.

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.

New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data

The approach maintains an AI model’s accuracy while ensuring attackers can’t extract secret information.

Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?

A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.

New method assesses and improves the reliability of radiologists’ diagnostic reports

The framework helps clinicians choose phrases that more accurately reflect the likelihood that certain conditions are present in X-rays.

For this computer scientist, MIT Open Learning was the start of a life-changing journey

Ana Trišović, who studies the democratization of AI, reflects on a career path that she began as a student downloading free MIT resources in Serbia.

At the core of problem-solving

Stuart Levine ’97, director of MIT’s BioMicro Center, keeps departmental researchers at the forefront of systems biology.

Robotic helper making mistakes? Just nudge it in the right direction

New research could allow a person to correct a robot’s actions in real-time, using the kind of feedback they’d give another human.
