A new way to edit or generate images

MIT researchers found that special kinds of neural networks, called encoders or “tokenizers,” can do much more than previously realized.

The unique, mathematical shortcuts language models use to predict dynamic scenarios

Language models follow changing situations using clever arithmetic, instead of sequential tracking. By controlling when these approaches are used, engineers could improve the systems’ capabilities.

Model predicts long-term effects of nuclear waste on underground disposal systems

The simulations matched results from an underground lab experiment in Switzerland, suggesting modeling could be used to validate the safety of nuclear disposal sites.

Can AI really code? Study maps the roadblocks to autonomous software engineering

A team of researchers has mapped the challenges of AI in software development, and outlined a research agenda to move the field forward.

How to more efficiently study complex treatment interactions

A new approach for testing multiple treatment combinations at once could help scientists develop drugs for cancer or genetic disorders.

New AI system uncovers hidden cell subtypes, boosts precision medicine

CellLENS reveals hidden patterns in cell behavior within tissues, offering deeper insights into cell heterogeneity — vital for advancing cancer immunotherapy.

Changing the conversation in health care

The Language/AI Incubator, an MIT Human Insight Collaborative project, is investigating how AI can improve communications among patients and practitioners.

AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”

An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.

Study could lead to LLMs that are better at complex reasoning

Researchers developed a way to make large language models more adaptable to challenging tasks like strategic planning or process optimization.

New postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate innovation in health care

Launched with a gift from the Biswas Family Foundation, the Biswas Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will support postdocs in health and life sciences.
