LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments
Researchers find nonclinical information in patient messages — like typos, extra white space, and colorful language — reduces the accuracy of an AI model.
Unpacking the bias of large language models
In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems.
Inroads to personalized AI trip planning
A new framework from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab supercharges language models, so they can reason over, interactively develop, and verify valid, complex travel agendas.
Melding data, systems, and society
A new book from Professor Munther Dahleh details the creation of a unique kind of transdisciplinary center, uniting many specialties through a common need for data science.
AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments
The system automatically learns to adapt to unknown disturbances such as gusting winds.
An anomaly detection framework anyone can use
PhD student Sarah Alnegheimish wants to make machine learning systems accessible.
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.
