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.
Building networks of data science talent
Through collaborations with organizations like BREIT in Peru, the MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society is upskilling hundreds of learners around the world in data science and machine learning.
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.
Learning how to predict rare kinds of failures
Researchers are developing algorithms to predict failures when automation meets the real world in areas like air traffic scheduling or autonomous vehicles.
