Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...

An MIT doctoral student won a $10,000 award in August for developing a new approach to recommendation algorithms that has already been adopted by Tencent WeChat, where it helps determine what content ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has introduced an innovative algorithm that can learn language solely by watching videos. Mark Hamilton, a PhD student in electrical engineering and ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) has advanced significantly in fields like robotics, medicine, and even traffic management. Despite these strides, many RL models struggle when faced with even slight ...

To assess a community’s risk of extreme weather, policymakers rely first on global climate models that can be run decades, and even centuries, forward in time, but only at a coarse resolution. These ...

A new technical paper titled “DiffChip: Thermally Aware Chip Placement with Automatic Differentiation” was published by researchers at MIT and IBM. “Chiplets are modular integrated circuits that can ...

New stress-testing tool: MetaEase analyzes algorithm source code to identify worst-case performance gaps without complex rewrites, streamlining verification. Preventing costly outages: By simulating ...
