Artificial intelligence suggests recipes based on food photos

Given a still image of a dish filled with food, CSAIL team’s deep-learning algorithm recommends ingredients and recipes.

Agents that imagine and plan

Imagining the consequences of your actions before you take them is a powerful tool of human cognition. When placing a glass on the edge of a table, for example, we will likely pause to consider how stable it is and whether it might fall. On the basis o…

Bringing neural networks to cellphones

Method for modeling neural networks’ power consumption could help make the systems portable.

Better healthcare with machine learning

I was traveling to a remote area in India couple of weeks ago. And I visited a govt hospital to see someone I know. As we all know the pathetic condition of govt hospitals in India especially in a remote area.

One of the issues is the availability of doctors and medical equipment.

The employment of doctors is based on the population of an area and finding specialists like cardiologists, nephrologist, pediatrics, etc is next to impossible.

I work as a software engineer…

Robust Adversarial Examples

We’ve created images that reliably fool neural network classifiers when viewed from varied scales and perspectives. This challenges a claim from last week that self-driving cars would be hard to trick maliciously since they capture images from multiple scales, angles, perspectives, and the like.

Miniaturizing the brain of a drone

Method for designing efficient computer chips may get miniature smart drones off the ground.

Imagine this: Creating new visual concepts by recombining familiar ones

Around two and a half thousand years ago a Mesopotamian trader gathered some clay, wood and reeds and changed humanity forever. Over time, their abacus would allow traders to keep track of goods and reconcile their finances, allowing economics to flour…
