Novel method detects microbial contamination in cell cultures
Ultraviolet light “fingerprints” on cell cultures and machine learning can provide a definitive yes/no contamination assessment within 30 minutes.
Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans
A new approach could enable intuitive robotic helpers for household, workplace, and warehouse settings.
New model predicts a chemical reaction’s point of no return
Chemists could use this quick computational method to design more efficient reactions that yield useful compounds, from fuels to pharmaceuticals.
“Periodic table of machine learning” could fuel AI discovery
Researchers have created a unifying framework that can help scientists combine existing ideas to improve AI models or create new ones.
Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language
A new technique automatically guides an LLM toward outputs that adhere to the rules of whatever programming language or other format is being used.
A faster way to solve complex planning problems
By eliminating redundant computations, a new data-driven method can streamline processes like scheduling trains, routing delivery drivers, or assigning airline crews.
Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language
A new method from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab helps large language models to steer their own responses toward safer, more ethical, value-aligned outputs.
New method efficiently safeguards sensitive AI training data
The approach maintains an AI model’s accuracy while ensuring attackers can’t extract secret information.
Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?
A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.
Tabletop factory-in-a-box makes hands-on manufacturing education more accessible
Inaugural cohort of Tecnológico de Monterrey undergraduates participate in immersive practicum at MIT featuring desktop fiber-extrusion devices, or FrEDs.
Vana is letting users own a piece of the AI models trained on their data
More than 1 million people are contributing their data to Vana’s decentralized network, which started as an MIT class project.
Researchers teach LLMs to solve complex planning challenges
This new framework leverages a model’s reasoning abilities to create a “smart assistant” that finds the optimal solution to multistep problems.
AI tool generates high-quality images faster than state-of-the-art approaches
Researchers fuse the best of two popular methods to create an image generator that uses less energy and can run locally on a laptop or smartphone.
Making airfield assessments automatic, remote, and safe
U.S. Air Force engineer and PhD student Randall Pietersen is using AI and next-generation imaging technology to detect pavement damage and unexploded munitions.
Robotic helper making mistakes? Just nudge it in the right direction
New research could allow a person to correct a robot’s actions in real-time, using the kind of feedback they’d give another human.
