MIT Schwarzman College of Computing unveils Break Through Tech AI
New program strives to bridge the talent gap for underrepresented groups in the tech industry.
Engineers enlist AI to help scale up advanced solar cell manufacturing
Perovskite materials would be superior to silicon in PV cells, but manufacturing such cells at scale is a huge hurdle. Machine learning can help.
MIT’s FutureMakers programs help kids get their minds around — and hands on — AI
The programs are designed to foster an understanding of how artificial intelligence technologies work, including their social implications.
An optimized solution for face recognition
When artificial intelligence is tasked with visually identifying objects and faces, it assigns specific components of its network to face recognition — just like the human brain.
Does this artificial intelligence think like a human?
A new technique compares the reasoning of a machine-learning model to that of a human, so the user can see patterns in the model’s behavior.
Robots dress humans without the full picture
MIT researchers design a robot that has a trick or two up its sleeve.
