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.
For this computer scientist, MIT Open Learning was the start of a life-changing journey
Ana Trišović, who studies the democratization of AI, reflects on a career path that she began as a student downloading free MIT resources in Serbia.
MIT affiliates named 2024 AAAS Fellows
The American Association for the Advancement of Science recognizes six current affiliates and 27 additional MIT alumni for their efforts to advance science and related fields.
A new way to make graphs more accessible to blind and low-vision readers
The Tactile Vega-Lite system, developed at MIT CSAIL, streamlines the tactile chart design process; could help educators efficiently create these graphics and aid designers in making precise changes.
At the core of problem-solving
