IDSS
MIT delegation mainstreams biodiversity conservation at the UN Biodiversity Convention, COP16
First organized MIT delegation highlights the Institute's growing commitment to addressing climate change by showcasing research on biodiversity conservation, AI, and the role of local communities.
MIT researchers develop an efficient way to train more reliable AI agents
The technique could make AI systems better at complex tasks that involve variability.
A causal theory for studying the cause-and-effect relationships of genes
By sidestepping the need for costly interventions, a new method could potentially reveal gene regulatory programs, paving the way for targeted treatments.
Empowering systemic racism research at MIT and beyond
Researchers in the MIT Initiative on Combatting Systemic Racism are building an open data repository to advance research on racial inequity in domains like policing, housing, and health care.
Study: AI could lead to inconsistent outcomes in home surveillance
Researchers find large language models make inconsistent decisions about whether to call the police when analyzing surveillance videos.
MIT researchers use large language models to flag problems in complex systems
The approach can detect anomalies in data recorded over time, without the need for any training.
AI model identifies certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer
The model could help clinicians assess breast cancer stage and ultimately help in reducing overtreatment.
How to assess a general-purpose AI model’s reliability before it’s deployed
A new technique enables users to compare several large models and choose the one that works best for their task.
School of Engineering welcomes new faculty
Fifteen new faculty members join six of the school’s academic departments.
