Teaching Artificial Intelligence Humor
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…
Every few days, the news brings us stories of massive data breaches, resulting in the theft of massive amounts of money, or the release of…
Engineers from MIT have developed a 3D printing technique that uses a new kind of ink made from genetically programmed living cells. The cells are…
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…
Smartphones and computers wouldn’t be nearly as useful without room for lots of apps, music and videos. Devices tend to store that information in two…
JPL engineers put together a drone race to find which is faster – a drone operated by a human or one operated by artificial intelligence….
Scientists from ITMO University and Center of Physical and Chemical Medicine developed an algorithm capable of tracking the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in gut…
Engineers at MIT have developed a new material that can be repeatedly stretched and flexed without losing its optical properties. Researchers at MIT and several…
Black holes make for a great space mystery. They’re so massive that nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole once it gets close…
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…
A new smartphone app analyzes a car’s sounds and vibrations, letting you know if your tires need air, spark plugs are bad, or air filter…
Researchers from MIT have designed a light-emitter and detector that can be integrated into silicon CMOS chips. The huge increase in computing performance in recent…
Researchers from MIT show that a newly discovered kind of magnetic behavior holds great promise as a way of storing data — one that could…
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 system that enables small, safe, aerial drones to read RFID tags in large warehouses at a distance of several…
