Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?

A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.

New method assesses and improves the reliability of radiologists’ diagnostic reports

The framework helps clinicians choose phrases that more accurately reflect the likelihood that certain conditions are present in X-rays.

Researchers teach LLMs to solve complex planning challenges

This new framework leverages a model’s reasoning abilities to create a “smart assistant” that finds the optimal solution to multistep problems.

AI tool generates high-quality images faster than state-of-the-art approaches

Researchers fuse the best of two popular methods to create an image generator that uses less energy and can run locally on a laptop or smartphone.

Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way

A new study shows LLMs represent different data types based on their underlying meaning and reason about data in their dominant language.

A new way to create realistic 3D shapes using generative AI

Researchers propose a simple fix to an existing technique that could help artists, designers, and engineers create better 3D models.

3 Questions: Inverting the problem of design

MIT and IBM researchers are creating linkage mechanisms to innovate human-AI kinematic engineering.

A causal theory for studying the cause-and-effect relationships of genes

By sidestepping the need for costly interventions, a new method could potentially reveal gene regulatory programs, paving the way for targeted treatments.

Enhancing LLM collaboration for smarter, more efficient solutions

“Co-LLM” algorithm helps a general-purpose AI model collaborate with an expert large language model by combining the best parts of both answers, leading to more factual responses.

A framework for solving parabolic partial differential equations

A new algorithm solves complicated partial differential equations by breaking them down into simpler problems, potentially guiding computer graphics and geometry processing.
