A data designer driven to collaborate with communities
Associate Professor Catherine D’Ignazio thinks carefully about how we acquire and display data — and why we lack it for many things.
Improving health, one machine learning system at a time
Marzyeh Ghassemi works to ensure health-care models are trained to be robust and fair.
MIT Schwarzman College of Computing launches postdoctoral program to advance AI across disciplines
The new Tayebati Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will support leading postdocs to bring cutting-edge AI to bear on research in scientific discovery or music.
Making it easier to verify an AI model’s responses
By allowing users to clearly see data referenced by a large language model, this tool speeds manual validation to help users spot AI errors.
Combining next-token prediction and video diffusion in computer vision and robotics
A new method can train a neural network to sort corrupted data while anticipating next steps. It can make flexible plans for robots, generate high-quality video, and help AI agents navigate digital environments.
AI simulation gives people a glimpse of their potential future self
By enabling users to chat with an older version of themselves, Future You is aimed at reducing anxiety and guiding young people to make better choices.
AI pareidolia: Can machines spot faces in inanimate objects?
New dataset of “illusory” faces reveals differences between human and algorithmic face detection, links to animal face recognition, and a formula predicting where people most often perceive faces.
Study: Transparency is often lacking in datasets used to train large language models
Researchers developed an easy-to-use tool that enables an AI practitioner to find data that suits the purpose of their model, which could improve accuracy and reduce bias.
First AI + Education Summit is an international push for “AI fluency”
The three-day, hands-on conference hosted by the MIT RAISE Initiative welcomed youths and adults from nearly 30 countries.
