The system automatically learns to adapt to unknown disturbances such as gusting winds.
AI stirs up the recipe for concrete in MIT study
With demand for cement alternatives rising, an MIT team uses machine learning to hunt for new ingredients across the scientific literature.
Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do
SketchAgent, a drawing system developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, sketches up concepts stroke-by-stroke, teaching language models to visually express concepts on their own and collaborate with humans.
3 Questions: How to help students recognize potential bias in their AI datasets
Courses on developing AI models for health care need to focus more on identifying and addressing bias, says Leo Anthony Celi.
Rationale engineering generates a compact new tool for gene therapy
Researchers redesign a compact RNA-guided enzyme from bacteria, making it an efficient editor of human DNA.
MIT announces the Initiative for New Manufacturing
The Institute-wide effort aims to bolster industry and create jobs by driving innovation across vital manufacturing sectors.
AI learns how vision and sound are connected, without human intervention
This new machine-learning model can match corresponding audio and visual data, which could someday help robots interact in the real world.
Learning how to predict rare kinds of failures
Researchers are developing algorithms to predict failures when automation meets the real world in areas like air traffic scheduling or autonomous vehicles.
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.
