MIT CSAIL researchers developed SustainaPrint, a system that reinforces only the weakest zones of eco-friendly 3D prints, achieving strong results with less plastic.
A new generative AI approach to predicting chemical reactions
System developed at MIT could provide realistic predictions for a wide variety of reactions, while maintaining real-world physical constraints.
3 Questions: The pros and cons of synthetic data in AI
Artificially created data offer benefits from cost savings to privacy preservation, but their limitations require careful planning and evaluation, Kalyan Veeramachaneni says.
3 Questions: On biology and medicine’s “data revolution”
Professor Caroline Uhler discusses her work at the Schmidt Center, thorny problems in math, and the ongoing quest to understand some of the most complex interactions in biology.
MIT researchers develop AI tool to improve flu vaccine strain selection
VaxSeer uses machine learning to predict virus evolution and antigenicity, aiming to make vaccine selection more accurate and less reliant on guesswork.
Can large language models figure out the real world?
New test could help determine if AI systems that make accurate predictions in one area can understand it well enough to apply that ability to a different area.
Researchers glimpse the inner workings of protein language models
A new approach can reveal the features AI models use to predict proteins that might make good drug or vaccine targets.
