MIT in the media: 2025 in review
MIT community members made headlines with key research advances and their efforts to tackle pressing challenges.
Guided learning lets “untrainable” neural networks realize their potential
CSAIL researchers find even “untrainable” neural nets can learn effectively when guided by another network’s built-in biases using their guidance method.
A new way to increase the capabilities of large language models
MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab researchers developed an expressive architecture that provides better state tracking and sequential reasoning in LLMs over long texts.
A “scientific sandbox” lets researchers explore the evolution of vision systems
The AI-powered tool could inform the design of better sensors and cameras for robots or autonomous vehicles.
“Robot, make me a chair”
An AI-driven system lets users design and build simple, multicomponent objects by describing them with words.
Enabling small language models to solve complex reasoning tasks
The “self-steering” DisCIPL system directs small models to work together on tasks with constraints, like itinerary planning and budgeting.
New MIT program to train military leaders for the AI age
The new certificate program will equip naval officers with skills needed to solve the military’s hardest problems.
New method improves the reliability of statistical estimations
The technique can help scientists in economics, public health, and other fields understand whether to trust the results of their experiments.
New materials could boost the energy efficiency of microelectronics
By stacking multiple active components based on new materials on the back end of a computer chip, this new approach reduces the amount of energy wasted during computation.
