Ecologists find computer vision models’ blind spots in retrieving wildlife images

Biodiversity researchers tested vision systems on how well they could retrieve relevant nature images. More advanced models performed well on simple queries but struggled with more research-specific prompts.

Startup’s autonomous drones precisely track warehouse inventories

Corvus Robotics, founded by Mohammed Kabir ’21, is using drones that can navigate in GPS-denied environments to expedite inventory management.

MIT welcomes Frida Polli as its next visiting innovation scholar

The neuroscientist turned entrepreneur will be hosted by the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing and focus on advancing the intersection of behavioral science and AI across MIT.

Need a research hypothesis? Ask AI.

MIT engineers developed AI frameworks to identify evidence-driven hypotheses that could advance biologically inspired materials.

MIT engineers grow “high-rise” 3D chips

An electronic stacking technique could exponentially increase the number of transistors on chips, enabling more efficient AI hardware.

When MIT’s interdisciplinary NEET program is a perfect fit

Junior Katie Spivakovsky describes her path through New Engineering Education Transformation to biomedical research and beyond.

MIT researchers introduce Boltz-1, a fully open-source model for predicting biomolecular structures

With models like AlphaFold3 limited to academic research, the team built an equivalent alternative, to encourage innovation more broadly.

Study reveals AI chatbots can detect race, but racial bias reduces response empathy

Researchers at MIT, NYU, and UCLA develop an approach to help evaluate whether large language models like GPT-4 are equitable enough to be clinically viable for mental health support.
