A new way to edit or generate images
MIT researchers found that special kinds of neural networks, called encoders or “tokenizers,” can do much more than previously realized.
Aeronautical and astronautical engineering
Inroads to personalized AI trip planning
A new framework from the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab supercharges language models, so they can reason over, interactively develop, and verify valid, complex travel agendas.
AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments
The system automatically learns to adapt to unknown disturbances such as gusting winds.
Learning how to predict rare kinds of failures
Researchers are developing algorithms to predict failures when automation meets the real world in areas like air traffic scheduling or autonomous vehicles.
The MIT-Portugal Program enters Phase 4
New phase will support continued exploration of ideas and solutions in fields ranging from AI to nanotech to climate — with emphasis on educational exchanges and entrepreneurship.
Researchers teach LLMs to solve complex planning challenges
This new framework leverages a model’s reasoning abilities to create a “smart assistant” that finds the optimal solution to multistep problems.
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.
Expanding robot perception
Associate Professor Luca Carlone is working to give robots a more human-like awareness of their environment.
Startup’s autonomous drones precisely track warehouse inventories
Corvus Robotics, founded by Mohammed Kabir ’21, is using drones that can navigate in GPS-denied environments to expedite inventory management.
New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding
The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.
