New system enables robots to solve manipulation problems in seconds
Researchers developed an algorithm that lets a robot “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously.
Teaching AI models what they don’t know
A team of MIT researchers founded Themis AI to quantify AI model uncertainty and address knowledge gaps.
Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do
SketchAgent, a drawing system developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, sketches up concepts stroke-by-stroke, teaching language models to visually express concepts on their own and collaborate with humans.
An anomaly detection framework anyone can use
PhD student Sarah Alnegheimish wants to make machine learning systems accessible.
