Can AI help predict which heart-failure patients will worsen within a year?
Researchers at MIT, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School developed a deep-learning model to forecast a patient’s heart failure prognosis up to a year in advance.
3 Questions: On the future of AI and the mathematical and physical sciences
Professor Jesse Thaler describes a vision for a two-way bridge between artificial intelligence and the mathematical and physical sciences — one that promises to advance both.
Improving AI models’ ability to explain their predictions
A new approach could help users know whether to trust a model’s predictions in safety-critical applications like health care and autonomous driving.
New method could increase LLM training efficiency
By leveraging idle computing time, researchers can double the speed of model training while preserving accuracy.
Study: AI chatbots provide less-accurate information to vulnerable users
Research from the MIT Center for Constructive Communication finds leading AI models perform worse for users with lower English proficiency, less formal education, and non-US origins.
Exposing biases, moods, personalities, and abstract concepts hidden in large language models
A new method developed at MIT could root out vulnerabilities and improve LLM safety and performance.
3 Questions: Using AI to help Olympic skaters land a quint
MIT Sports Lab researchers are applying AI technologies to help figure skaters improve. They also have thoughts on whether five-rotation jumps are humanly possible.
Study: Platforms that rank the latest LLMs can be unreliable
Removing just a tiny fraction of the crowdsourced data that informs online ranking platforms can significantly change the results.
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.
