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.
MIT spinout maps the body’s metabolites to uncover the hidden drivers of disease
ReviveMed uses AI to gather large-scale data on metabolites — molecules like lipids, cholesterol, and sugar — to match patients with therapeutics.
Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way
A new study shows LLMs represent different data types based on their underlying meaning and reason about data in their dominant language.
AI model deciphers the code in proteins that tells them where to go
Whitehead Institute and CSAIL researchers created a machine-learning model to predict and generate protein localization, with implications for understanding and remedying disease.
Puzzling out climate change
Accenture Fellow Shreyaa Raghavan applies machine learning and optimization methods to explore ways to reduce transportation sector emissions.
Streamlining data collection for improved salmon population management
Assistant Professor Sara Beery is using automation to improve monitoring of migrating salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
3 Questions: Modeling adversarial intelligence to exploit AI’s security vulnerabilities
MIT CSAIL Principal Research Scientist Una-May O’Reilly discusses how she develops agents that reveal AI models’ security weaknesses before hackers do.
New training approach could help AI agents perform better in uncertain conditions
Sometimes, it might be better to train a robot in an environment that’s different from the one where it will be deployed.
Expanding robot perception
Associate Professor Luca Carlone is working to give robots a more human-like awareness of their environment.
