Most recent advances in artificial-intelligence systems such as speech- or face-recognition programs have come courtesy of neural networks, densely interconnected meshes of simple information processors…
For decades, materials scientists have taken inspiration from the natural world. They’ll identify a biological material that has some desirable trait — such as the…
MIT today announced the launch of the MIT Intelligence Quest, an initiative to discover the foundations of human intelligence and drive the development of technological…
When it comes to processing power, the human brain just can’t be beaten. Packed within the squishy, football-sized organ are somewhere around 100 billion neurons….
Last month, three MIT materials scientists and their colleagues published a paper describing a new artificial intelligence system that can pore through scientific papers and…
Josh Tenenbaum, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, directs research on the development of intelligence at the Center for Brains, Minds, and…
We have a long history of yelling at our machines — cars that break down, televisions broadcasting our failing teams. But now, our machines understand us. And…
Neural networks, which learn to perform computational tasks by analyzing huge sets of training data, have been responsible for the most impressive recent advances in…
Imagine working in an office where, once you’ve finished one task, you had to wait until everyone in all the other cubicles completed the tasks…
JPL engineers put together a drone race to find which is faster – a drone operated by a human or one operated by artificial intelligence….
Using a new artificial-intelligence system that would pore through research papers to deduce “recipes” for producing particular materials, scientists hope to close the materials-science automation…
A new MIT computer system speeds computations involving “sparse tensors,” multidimensional data arrays that consist mostly of zeroes. At the Association for Computing Machinery’s Conference…
Engineers from MIT have developed a new method to produce printable structures that begin to fold up as soon as they are peeled off the…
Researchers from MIT are set to present a new general-purpose technique for making sense of neural networks trained to perform natural-language-processing tasks, in which computers…
Engineers from MIT have developed a new system that replaces human intuition with algorithms. The “Data Science Machine” outperformed 615 of 906 human teams in…
Researchers from MIT have developed a new algorithm that lets autonomous robots divvy up assembly tasks on the fly, an important step forward in multirobot…
A newly published study demonstrates how complex cognitive abilities can be incorporated into electronic systems made with neuromorphic chips. Novel microchips imitate the brain’s information…
