Merging AI and underwater photography to reveal hidden ocean worlds
The LOBSTgER research initiative at MIT Sea Grant explores how generative AI can expand scientific storytelling by building on field-based photographic data.
LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments
Researchers find nonclinical information in patient messages — like typos, extra white space, and colorful language — reduces the accuracy of an AI model.
Researchers present bold ideas for AI at MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium kickoff event
Presentations targeted high-impact intersections of AI and other areas, such as health care, business, and education.
Combining technology, education, and human connection to improve online learning
Caitlin Morris, a PhD student and 2024 MAD Fellow affiliated with the MIT Media Lab, designs digital learning platforms that make room for the “social magic” that influences curiosity and motivation.
Unpacking the bias of large language models
In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems.
A sounding board for strengthening the student experience
Composed of “computing bilinguals,” the Undergraduate Advisory Group provides vital input to help advance the mission of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing.
