Putting the squeeze on data
In work that could make it easier to handle huge data sets, MIT researchers improve data compression's fidelity without sacrificing speed
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)
Rethinking artificial intelligence
Broad-based MIT project aims to reinvent AI for a new era. By going back and fixing mistakes, researchers hope to produce ‘co-processors’ for the human mind.
Flight of fancy
Using an autonomous mini-helicopter, an MIT team stunned the Association for Unmanned Vehicles International by solving one of its notoriously tough challenges on the first try.
When Signals Cross: Medical Systems at CSAIL
Professor John Guttag and his team of graduate students are working in partnership with clinicians to produce technological solutions for medical problems.
Reporter's Notebook: Inventing language
MIT’s Barbara Liskov, winner of the Turing Award, describes how she helped lay the foundations for today’s programming languages.
What computer science can teach economics
Constantinos Daskalakis applies the theory of computational complexity to game theory, with consequences in a range of disciplines.
Parallel course
As chip makers turn to multiple 'cores' to improve performance, MIT researchers help ease programmers' transition to parallel programming.
Stay focused
The Computer Graphics Group sharpens photographs by capturing multiple low-quality images instead of a single higher-quality image.
Whose Internet is it, anyway?
One of the Internet's chief architects looks at the FCC's proposed Net neutrality rules.
