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.


Precision home robots learn with real-to-sim-to-real

CSAIL researchers introduce a novel approach allowing robots to be trained in simulations of scanned home environments, paving the way for customized household automation accessible to anyone.

Method prevents an AI model from being overconfident about wrong answers

More efficient than other approaches, the “Thermometer” technique could help someone know when they should trust a large language model.

MIT researchers advance automated interpretability in AI models

MAIA is a multimodal agent that can iteratively design experiments to better understand various components of AI systems.

Reasoning skills of large language models are often overestimated

New CSAIL research highlights how LLMs excel in familiar scenarios but struggle in novel ones, questioning their true reasoning abilities versus reliance on memorization.

Understanding the visual knowledge of language models

LLMs trained primarily on text can generate complex visual concepts through code with self-correction. Researchers used these illustrations to train an image-free computer vision system to recognize real photos.

Researchers use large language models to help robots navigate

The method uses language-based inputs instead of costly visual data to direct a robot through a multistep navigation task.

Looking for a specific action in a video? This AI-based method can find it for you

A new approach could streamline virtual training processes or aid clinicians in reviewing diagnostic videos.

Using ideas from game theory to improve the reliability of language models

A new “consensus game,” developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, elevates AI’s text comprehension and generation skills.

Creating bespoke programming languages for efficient visual AI systems

Associate Professor Jonathan Ragan-Kelley optimizes how computer graphics and images are processed for the hardware of today and tomorrow.
