2+ hour, 1+ min ago  (472+ words) When we learn a new skill, the brain has to decide " cell by cell " what to change. New research from MIT suggests it can do that with surprising precision, sending targeted feedback to individual neurons so each one can adjust…...

14+ hour, 51+ min ago  (749+ words) In high-stakes settings like medical diagnostics, users often want to know what led a computer vision model to make a certain prediction, so they can determine whether to trust its output. The concepts the model uses'are usually defined in advance…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago  (588+ words) To overcome this problem, researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and ETH Zurich/Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) developed an artificial intelligence-driven framework that learns which information about a cell's state is shared across different measurement modalities and…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago  (599+ words) By now, ChatGPT, Claude, and other large language models have accumulated so much human knowledge that they're far from simple answer-generators; they can also express abstract concepts, such as certain tones, personalities, biases, and moods. However, it's not obvious exactly…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago  (884+ words) Many of the latest large language models (LLMs) are designed to remember details from past conversations or store user profiles, enabling these models to personalize responses. But researchers from MIT and Penn State University found that, over long conversations, such…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago  (820+ words) Industrial yeasts are a powerhouse of protein production, used to manufacture vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and other useful compounds. In a new study, MIT chemical engineers have harnessed artificial intelligence to optimize the development of new protein manufacturing processes, which could reduce…...

3+ week, 4+ day ago  (844+ words) For more than a decade, MIT Associate Professor Rafael G'mez-Bombarelli has used artificial intelligence to create new materials. As the technology has expanded, so have his ambitions. Now, the newly tenured professor in materials science and engineering believes AI is…...

1+ mon, 14+ hour ago  (847+ words) A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance. To narrow down the choice,…...
