Novo Nordisk to support MIT postdocs working at the intersection of AI and life sciences
MIT-Novo Nordisk Artificial Intelligence Postdoctoral Fellows Program will support up to 10 postdocs annually over five years.
Bringing the social and ethical responsibilities of computing to the forefront
The inaugural SERC Symposium convened experts from multiple disciplines to explore the challenges and opportunities that arise with the broad applicability of computing in many aspects of society.
New model offers a way to speed up drug discovery
By applying a language model to protein-drug interactions, researchers can quickly screen large libraries of potential drug compounds.
MIT researchers make language models scalable self-learners
The scientists used a natural language-based logical inference dataset to create smaller language models that outperformed much larger counterparts.
Meet the tight-knit technical staff who help MIT.nano handle any challenge
All together, a core group of MIT.nano staffers has more than 400 years of technical experience in nanoscale characterization and fabrication.
Scaling audio-visual learning without labels
A new multimodal technique blends major self-supervised learning methods to learn more similarly to humans.
New tool helps people choose the right method for evaluating AI models
Selecting the right method gives users a more accurate picture of how their model is behaving, so they are better equipped to correctly interpret its predictions.
A more effective way to train machines for uncertain, real-world situations
Researchers develop an algorithm that decides when a “student” machine should follow its teacher, and when it should learn on its own.
CoCo: A real-time co-creative learning platform for young people
Media Lab PhD students Manuj Dhariwal and Shruti Dhariwal introduce a new paradigm of creative collaboration in digital learning environments.
Fueled by problem-solving
Undergraduate research helped feed physics and EECS major Thomas Bergamaschi’s post-MIT interest in tackling challenges.
MIT students Rupert Li and Audrey Xie named 2023-24 Goldwater Scholars
Undergraduates whose research areas explore discrete math and neural networks honored for their academic achievements.
Celebrating the impact of IDSS
A two-day conference at MIT reflected on the impact of the Institute for Data, Systems, and Society since its launch, as founding Director Munther Dahleh prepares to step down.
Kelsey Merrill ’22 named to 2023 ALL IN Student Voting Honor Roll
The current MEng student is one of 175 students nationwide honored for nonpartisan democratic engagement work.
Probabilistic AI that knows how well it’s working
It’s more important than ever for artificial intelligence to estimate how accurately it is explaining data.
