Professor Emeritus Jack Dennis, pioneering developer of dataflow models of computation, dies at 94
The influential first leader of the Computation Structures Group at MIT played a key role in the development of asynchronous computing.
A philosophy of work
As the NC Ethics of Technology Postdoctoral Fellow, Michal Masny is advancing dialogue, teaching, and research into the social and ethical dimensions of new computing technologies.
New technique makes AI models leaner and faster while they’re still learning
Researchers use control theory to shed unnecessary complexity from AI models during training, cutting compute costs without sacrificing performance.
Helping data centers deliver higher performance with less hardware
Researchers developed a system that intelligently balances workloads to improve the efficiency of flash storage hardware in a data center.
Evaluating the ethics of autonomous systems
MIT researchers developed a testing framework that pinpoints situations where AI decision-support systems are not treating people and communities fairly.
Preview tool helps makers visualize 3D-printed objects
By quickly generating aesthetically accurate previews of fabricated objects, the VisiPrint system could make prototyping faster and less wasteful.
AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly
This new approach adapts to decide which robots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput.
Augmenting citizen science with computer vision for fish monitoring
MIT Sea Grant works with the Woodwell Climate Research Center and other collaborators to demonstrate a deep learning-based system for fish monitoring.
Stamping high-res imagery onto everyday items to “reprogram” their appearance
The portable “ChromoLCD” device combines LCD and LED lighting to customize high-quality designs onto things like shirts and whiteboards.
Lasers, robots, action: MIT workshop explores Raman spectroscopy
Participants learn how laser “fingerprinting” can help identify materials in fields ranging from law enforcement to art restoration.
MIT and Hasso Plattner Institute establish collaborative hub for AI and creativity
Jointly led by the MIT Morningside Academy for Design, MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, and the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam, the hub will foster a dynamic community where computing, creativity, and human-centered innovation meet.
Generative AI improves a wireless vision system that sees through obstructions
With this new technique, a robot could more accurately detect hidden objects or understand an indoor scene using reflected Wi-Fi signals.
A better method for identifying overconfident large language models
This new metric for measuring uncertainty could flag hallucinations and help users know whether to trust an AI model.
MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab seed to signal: Amplifying early-career faculty impact
Academia-industry relationship is an early-stage accelerator, supporting professional progress and research.
Can AI help predict which heart-failure patients will worsen within a year?
Researchers at MIT, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School developed a deep-learning model to forecast a patient’s heart failure prognosis up to a year in advance.
