Generative AI improves a wireless vision system that sees through obstructions

With this new technique, a robot could more accurately detect hidden objects or understand an indoor scene using reflected Wi-Fi signals.

MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab seed to signal: Amplifying early-career faculty impact

Academia-industry relationship is an early-stage accelerator, supporting professional progress and research.

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.

New MIT class uses anthropology to improve chatbots

MIT computer science students design AI chatbots to help young users become more social, and socially confident.

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.

Mixing generative AI with physics to create personal items that work in the real world

To help generative AI models create durable, real-world accessories and decor, the PhysiOpt system runs physics simulations and makes subtle tweaks to its 3D blueprints.

AI to help researchers see the bigger picture in cell biology

By providing holistic information on a cell, an AI-driven method could help scientists better understand disease mechanisms and plan experiments.

Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions

By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.

Personalization features can make LLMs more agreeable

The context of long-term conversations can cause an LLM to begin mirroring the user’s viewpoints, possibly reducing accuracy or creating a virtual echo-chamber.
