Envisioning a future where health care tech leaves some behind

The winning essay of the Envisioning the Future of Computing Prize puts health care disparities at the forefront.

Helping machines understand visual content with AI

Coactive, founded by two MIT alumni, has built an AI-powered platform to unlock new insights from content of all types.

Teaching AI models what they don’t know

A team of MIT researchers founded Themis AI to quantify AI model uncertainty and address knowledge gaps.

Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do

SketchAgent, a drawing system developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, sketches up concepts stroke-by-stroke, teaching language models to visually express concepts on their own and collaborate with humans.

An anomaly detection framework anyone can use

PhD student Sarah Alnegheimish wants to make machine learning systems accessible.

AI learns how vision and sound are connected, without human intervention

This new machine-learning model can match corresponding audio and visual data, which could someday help robots interact in the real world.

The sweet taste of a new idea

Sendhil Mullainathan brings a lifetime of unique perspectives to research in behavioral economics and machine learning.

With AI, researchers predict the location of virtually any protein within a human cell

Trained with a joint understanding of protein and cell behavior, the model could help with diagnosing disease and developing new drugs.

Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words

Words like “no” and “not” can cause this popular class of AI models to fail unexpectedly in high-stakes settings, such as medical diagnosis.

Hybrid AI model crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds

The CausVid generative AI tool uses a diffusion model to teach an autoregressive (frame-by-frame) system to rapidly produce stable, high-resolution videos.
