MIT and IBM researchers are creating linkage mechanisms to innovate human-AI kinematic engineering.
Enhancing LLM collaboration for smarter, more efficient solutions
“Co-LLM” algorithm helps a general-purpose AI model collaborate with an expert large language model by combining the best parts of both answers, leading to more factual responses.
A framework for solving parabolic partial differential equations
A new algorithm solves complicated partial differential equations by breaking them down into simpler problems, potentially guiding computer graphics and geometry processing.
Method prevents an AI model from being overconfident about wrong answers
More efficient than other approaches, the “Thermometer” technique could help someone know when they should trust a large language model.
MIT researchers advance automated interpretability in AI models
MAIA is a multimodal agent that can iteratively design experiments to better understand various components of AI systems.
Reasoning skills of large language models are often overestimated
New CSAIL research highlights how LLMs excel in familiar scenarios but struggle in novel ones, questioning their true reasoning abilities versus reliance on memorization.
