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.
Computer science and technology
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.
Celebrating the impact of IDSS
A two-day conference at MIT reflected on the impact of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society since its launch, as founding Director Munther Dahleh prepares to step down.
Probabilistic AI that knows how well it’s working
It’s more important than ever for artificial intelligence to estimate how accurately it is explaining data.
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.
