Artificial intelligence sheds light on how the brain processes language
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.
At Mass STEM Week kickoff, MIT RAISE announces Day of AI
Artificial intelligence is top-of-mind as Governor Baker, President Reif encourage students to “see yourself in STEM.”
One giant leap for the mini cheetah
A new control system, demonstrated using MIT’s robotic mini cheetah, enables four-legged robots to jump across uneven terrain in real-time.
How the brain navigates cities
We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.
Putting artificial intelligence at the heart of health care — with help from MIT
Cardiologist Demilade Adedinsewo is using her MIT Professional Education experience to advance cardiovascular care at the Mayo Clinic.
Accelerating the discovery of new materials for 3D printing
A new machine-learning system costs less, generates less waste, and can be more innovative than manual discovery methods.
These neural networks know what they’re doing
A certain type of artificial intelligence agent can learn the cause-and-effect basis of a navigation task during training.
Deep learning helps predict traffic crashes before they happen
A deep model was trained on historical crash data, road maps, satellite imagery, and GPS to enable high-resolution crash maps that could lead to safer roads.
Making data visualizations more accessible
Researchers find blind and sighted readers have sharply different takes on what content is most useful to include in a chart caption.
Enabling AI-driven health advances without sacrificing patient privacy
Secure AI Labs, founded by alumna Anne Kim and MIT Professor Manolis Kellis, anonymizes data for AI researchers.
Seven from MIT receive National Institutes of Health awards for 2021
