How to control robots with brainwaves and hand gestures
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory system enables people to correct robot mistakes on multiple-choice tasks.
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)
Faster analysis of medical images
Algorithm makes the process of comparing 3-D scans up to 1,000 times faster.
CSAIL launches new five-year collaboration with iFlyTek
Lab will work with Chinese company on research in artificial intelligence, language processing, and human-computer interaction.
Artificial intelligence senses people through walls
Wireless smart-home system from the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory could monitor diseases and help the elderly “age in place.”
MIT announces leadership of its Quest for Intelligence
Faculty from across the Institute tapped to lead new initiative in human and machine intelligence.
Michel Goemans named head of the Department of Mathematics
Award-winning applied mathematician and professor has served as interim department head for the past year.
Device allows a personal computer to process huge graphs
With novel system, data scientists can analyze massive networks without the need for power-hungry servers.
Teaching chores to an artificial agent
Activity simulator could eventually teach robots tasks like making coffee or setting the table.
Fleet of autonomous boats could service some cities, reducing road traffic
Researchers design 3-D-printed, driverless boats that can provide transport and self-assemble into other floating structures.
Making driverless cars change lanes more like human drivers do
Algorithm computes “buffer zones” around autonomous vehicles and reassess them on the fly.
Gauging language proficiency through eye movement
Study tracks eye movement to determine how well people understand English as a foreign language.
Applying machine learning to challenges in the pharmaceutical industry
MIT researchers and industry form new consortium to aid the drug discovery process.
Protecting confidentiality in genomic studies
Cryptographic system could enable “crowdsourced” genomics, with volunteers contributing information to privacy-protected databases.
Self-driving cars for country roads
Today’s autonomous vehicles require hand-labeled 3-D maps, but CSAIL’s MapLite system enables navigation with just GPS and sensors.
Building AI systems that make fair decisions
Harini Suresh, a PhD student at MIT CSAIL, studies how to make machine learning algorithms more understandable and less biased.
