Could LLMs help design our next medicines and materials?
A new method lets users ask, in plain language, for a new molecule with certain properties, and receive a detailed description of how to synthesize it.
Data
Vana is letting users own a piece of the AI models trained on their data
More than 1 million people are contributing their data to Vana’s decentralized network, which started as an MIT class project.
At the core of problem-solving
Stuart Levine ’97, director of MIT’s BioMicro Center, keeps departmental researchers at the forefront of systems biology.
Like human brains, large language models reason about diverse data in a general way
A new study shows LLMs represent different data types based on their underlying meaning and reason about data in their dominant language.
Validation technique could help scientists make more accurate forecasts
MIT researchers developed a new approach for assessing predictions with a spatial dimension, like forecasting weather or mapping air pollution.
Streamlining data collection for improved salmon population management
Assistant Professor Sara Beery is using automation to improve monitoring of migrating salmon in the Pacific Northwest.
User-friendly system can help developers build more efficient simulations and AI models
By automatically generating code that leverages two types of data redundancy, the system saves bandwidth, memory, and computation.
