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.
School of Engineering welcomes new faculty
Fifteen new faculty members join six of the school’s academic departments.
This tiny, tamper-proof ID tag can authenticate almost anything
MIT engineers developed a tag that can reveal with near-perfect accuracy whether an item is real or fake. The key is in the glue on the back of the tag.
New techniques efficiently accelerate sparse tensors for massive AI models
Complimentary approaches — “HighLight” and “Tailors and Swiftiles” — could boost the performance of demanding machine-learning tasks.
Machine-learning system based on light could yield more powerful, efficient large language models
MIT system demonstrates greater than 100-fold improvement in energy efficiency and a 25-fold improvement in compute density compared with current systems.
Efficient technique improves machine-learning models’ reliability
The method enables a model to determine its confidence in a prediction, while using no additional data and far fewer computing resources than other methods.
