Imaging technique removes the effect of water in underwater scenes
The color-correcting tool, known as “SeaSplat,” reveals more realistic colors of underwater features.
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)
Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words
Words like “no” and “not” can cause this popular class of AI models to fail unexpectedly in high-stakes settings, such as medical diagnosis.
System lets robots identify an object’s properties through handling
With a novel simulation method, robots can guess the weight, softness, and other physical properties of an object just by picking it up.
Hybrid AI model crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds
The CausVid generative AI tool uses a diffusion model to teach an autoregressive (frame-by-frame) system to rapidly produce stable, high-resolution videos.
Novel AI model inspired by neural dynamics from the brain
New type of “state-space model” leverages principles of harmonic oscillators.
Making AI models more trustworthy for high-stakes settings
A new method helps convey uncertainty more precisely, which could give researchers and medical clinicians better information to make decisions.
The MIT-Portugal Program enters Phase 4
New phase will support continued exploration of ideas and solutions in fields ranging from AI to nanotech to climate — with emphasis on educational exchanges and entrepreneurship.
“Periodic table of machine learning” could fuel AI discovery
Researchers have created a unifying framework that can help scientists combine existing ideas to improve AI models or create new ones.
3D modeling you can feel
TactStyle, a system developed by CSAIL researchers, uses image prompts to replicate both the visual appearance and tactile properties of 3D models.
Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language
A new technique automatically guides an LLM toward outputs that adhere to the rules of whatever programming language or other format is being used.
Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language
A new method from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab helps large language models to steer their own responses toward safer, more ethical, value-aligned outputs.
New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data
The approach maintains an AI model’s accuracy while ensuring attackers can’t extract secret information.
Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?
A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.
A new way to bring personal items to mixed reality
“InteRecon” enables users to capture items in a mobile app and reconstruct their interactive features in mixed reality. The tool could assist in education, medical environments, museums, and more.
New method assesses and improves the reliability of radiologists’ diagnostic reports
The framework helps clinicians choose phrases that more accurately reflect the likelihood that certain conditions are present in X-rays.
