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…
Most sensitive web transactions are protected by public-key cryptography, a type of encryption that lets computers share information securely without first agreeing on a secret…
For the past 10 years, the Camera Culture group at MIT’s Media Lab has been developing innovative imaging systems — from a camera that can…
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 extract…
Companies often employ number-crunching data scientists to gather insights such as which customers want certain services or where to open new stores and stock products….
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
