Photoshop is getting an infusion of generative AI today with the addition of a number of Firefly-based features that will allow users to extend images beyond their borders with Firefly-generated backgrounds, use generative AI to add objects to images and use a new generative fill feature to remove objects with far more precision than the previously available content-aware fill. For…
A robot manipulating objects while, say, working in a kitchen, will benefit from understanding which items are composed of the same materials. With this knowledge, the robot would know to exert a similar amount of force whether it picks up a small pat of butter from a shadowy corner of the counter or an entire stick from inside the brightly…
A three-year recipient of MIT’s Emerson Classical Vocal Scholarships, senior Ananya Gurumurthy recalls getting ready to step onto the Carnegie Hall stage to sing a Mozart opera that she once sang with the New York All-State Choir. The choir conductor reminded her to articulate her words and to engage her diaphragm. “If you don’t project your voice, how are people…
Introduction Over the past decade, major breakthroughs have been made in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). When it comes to AI, there are a number of subfields, like Natural Language Processing (NLP). One of the models used for NLP is the Large Language Model (LLMs). LLMs are designed to process vast amounts of text data and use advanced neural…
If you've ever played soccer with a robot, it's a familiar feeling. Sun glistens down on your face as the smell of grass permeates the air. You look around. A four-legged robot is hustling toward you, dribbling with determination. While the bot doesn’t display a Lionel Messi-like level of ability, it's an impressive in-the-wild dribbling system nonetheless. Researchers from MIT's…
Each year, MIT’s School of Engineering gives the Junior Bose Award to a junior faculty member who has made outstanding contributions as an educator. The award is given to a member of faculty who is up for promotion from assistant professor to associate professor without tenure. The 2023 Junior Bose Award has been given to two outstanding educators: Jacob Andreas,…
Sometime in 2019, MIT PhD student Ajay Brahmakshatriya formulated a simple, though still quite challenging, goal. He wanted to make it possible for people who had expertise in a particular domain — such as climate modeling, bioinformatics, or architecture — to write their own programming languages, so-called domain-specific languages (or DSLs), even if they had little or no experience in…
Yael Tauman Kalai PhD ’06, an MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) adjunct professor, member of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research has been awarded the 2022 ACM Prize in Computing for “breakthroughs in verifiable delegation of computation and fundamental contributions to cryptography” by the Association for…
MIT associate professors Ellen Roche of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) and Justin Solomon of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) have been named the 2023 winners of MIT’s annual Harold E. Edgerton Faculty Achievement Award. Established in fall 1982, the award exists as a permanent tribute to the late Institute Professor Emeritus Harold E. Edgerton…
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence has ignited a deep philosophical exploration into the nature of consciousness, creativity, and authorship. As we bear witness to new advances in the field, it’s increasingly apparent that these synthetic agents possess a remarkable capacity to create, iterate, and challenge our traditional notions of intelligence. But what does it really mean for an AI…
In the vast, expansive skies where birds once ruled supreme, a new crop of aviators is taking flight. These pioneers of the air are not living creatures, but rather a product of deliberate innovation: drones. But these aren’t your typical flying bots, humming around like mechanical bees. Rather, they’re avian-inspired marvels that soar through the sky, guided by liquid neural…
Property assessments sit at the center of home appraisals, insurance claims, renovation projects, and a number of other important processes. Inaccurate or delayed assessments can set projects back and stick consumers with higher costs. Now, a platform first developed at MIT makes creating detailed property assessments as easy as snapping a few pictures. The alumni-founded startup Hosta a.i. analyzes images…
Thirteen MIT undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni have been awarded Fulbright fellowships and will embark on projects overseas in the 2023-24 grant year. Four other MIT affiliates were offered awards but declined them to pursue other opportunities. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program offers American citizen students and recent alumni year-long grants for independent…
The advent of generative artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT has prompted renewed calls for AI in health care, and its support base only appears to be broadening. The second annual MIT-MGB AI Cures Conference, hosted on April 24 by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (Jameel Clinic), saw its attendance nearly double this year, with over…
ChatGPT is going mobile. Today, OpenAI announced the launch of an official iOS app that allows users to access its popular AI chatbot on the go, months after the App Store was filled with dubious, unofficial services. The new ChatGPT app will be free to use, free from ads, and will allow for voice input, the company says, but will…
Data Science is a popular as well as vast field; till date, there are a lot of opportunities in this field, and most people, whether they are working professionals or students, everyone want a transition in data science because of its scope. If you are a student or a fresher who wants to be a part of the data science…
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (GPT-4) is the latest iteration of the groundbreaking GPT series of language models developed by OpenAI. As an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, GPT-4 builds upon the success of its predecessor, GPT-3, while exhibiting enhanced capabilities in natural language processing (NLP), understanding, and generation. In this article, we will delve deeply into the architecture, features, and…
A future superintelligence ponders its evolution Some reactions to the latest AI news and developments, along with some AI-generated artwork. Follow the channel, to get updates on posts. Backdrop: According to this paper by OpenAI, as much as 80% of the working population will be impacted by automation brought on by Large Language models (like GPT-4). Further, while the impacts…
ChatGPT is a sophisticated language model that has taken the world by storm. With its advanced natural language processing capabilities and machine learning algorithms, ChatGPT has revolutionized the way we interact with artificial intelligence. From answering questions to generating creative content, ChatGPT can do it all. However, there are many features of this language model that often go unnoticed. In…
Machine learning operations, or MLOps, are the set of practices and tools that aim to streamline and automate the machine learning lifecycle. It covers everything from data preparation and model training to deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. MLOps projects are becoming increasingly popular as companies seek to leverage the power of AI to gain a competitive edge. Empowering Startups and Entrepreneurs…
