Bringing meaning into technology deployment
The MIT Ethics of Computing Research Symposium showcases projects at the intersection of technology, ethics, and social responsibility.
Algorithms
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.
Teaching AI models what they don’t know
A team of MIT researchers founded Themis AI to quantify AI model uncertainty and address knowledge gaps.
Teaching AI models the broad strokes to sketch more like humans do
SketchAgent, a drawing system developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, sketches up concepts stroke-by-stroke, teaching language models to visually express concepts on their own and collaborate with humans.
An anomaly detection framework anyone can use
PhD student Sarah Alnegheimish wants to make machine learning systems accessible.
AI learns how vision and sound are connected, without human intervention
This new machine-learning model can match corresponding audio and visual data, which could someday help robots interact in the real world.
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 sweet taste of a new idea
Sendhil Mullainathan brings a lifetime of unique perspectives to research in behavioral economics and machine learning.
New tool evaluates progress in reinforcement learning
“IntersectionZoo,” a benchmarking tool, uses a real-world traffic problem to test progress in deep reinforcement learning algorithms.
