3 Questions: Inverting the problem of design
MIT and IBM researchers are creating linkage mechanisms to innovate human-AI kinematic engineering.
MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab
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.
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.
Precision home robots learn with real-to-sim-to-real
CSAIL researchers introduce a novel approach allowing robots to be trained in simulations of scanned home environments, paving the way for customized household automation accessible to anyone.
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.
Understanding the visual knowledge of language models
LLMs trained primarily on text can generate complex visual concepts through code with self-correction. Researchers used these illustrations to train an image-free computer vision system to recognize real photos.
Researchers use large language models to help robots navigate
The method uses language-based inputs instead of costly visual data to direct a robot through a multistep navigation task.
