A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

Have you ever seen (or eaten) a delicious meal and wished you had the recipe to make it? Now all you have to do is take a picture and give it to an algorithm developed by MIT's Computer Science and ...

Over the last few years, researchers have shown how one type of machine learning algorithm called an image classifier–think of it as a program to which you can show a picture of your pet, and it will ...

A new system developed by MIT researchers called “MosAIc” is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. MosAIc scans an image, ...

You’ve got the perfect shot of a cityscape from your hotel room—if it weren’t for those pesky reflections in the window. Photographers are often stymied by their own reflection or that of their camera ...

The next time you catch your robot watching sitcoms, don't assume it's slacking off. It may be hard at work. TV shows and video clips can help artificially intelligent systems learn about and ...

The ocean can be a ferociously wild place, which makes locating lost people and objects a tall order for first responders. Researchers at MIT have developed a new algorithm that takes stock of ocean ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Scientists shared a ground-breaking photo of a black hole on Wednesday, partly thanks to an algorithm created by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate. Katie ...

Scientists are making progress on neural devices that can translate the thoughts of a paralyzed person into driving action for a prosthetic device. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Consider a group of drones that have to constantly exchange information on their position in order to avoid colliding with one another. Or a smart car that needs up-to-the-millisecond sensor data to ...

A new MIT algorithm is capable of determining, with impressive accuracy, whether or not people have COVID-19 — just by listening to them cough. The algorithm, which the researchers trained using the ...
