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.
AI learns how vision and sound are connected, without human intervention
This new machine-learning model can match corresponding audio and visual data, which could someday help robots interact in the real world.
Imaging technique removes the effect of water in underwater scenes
The color-correcting tool, known as “SeaSplat,” reveals more realistic colors of underwater features.
Study shows vision-language models can’t handle queries with negation words
Words like “no” and “not” can cause this popular class of AI models to fail unexpectedly in high-stakes settings, such as medical diagnosis.
System lets robots identify an object’s properties through handling
With a novel simulation method, robots can guess the weight, softness, and other physical properties of an object just by picking it up.
Hybrid AI model crafts smooth, high-quality videos in seconds
The CausVid generative AI tool uses a diffusion model to teach an autoregressive (frame-by-frame) system to rapidly produce stable, high-resolution videos.
Novel AI model inspired by neural dynamics from the brain
New type of “state-space model” leverages principles of harmonic oscillators.
