Researchers devise an efficient protocol to keep a user’s private information secure when algorithms use it to recommend products, songs, or shows.
System that automatically identifies people moving around indoors could enable self-adjusting homes.
A CSAIL-led team has trained a neural network to learn NASCAR-style driving maneuvers purely from looking at a sequence of images taken from a two-person racing game.
In controlled experiments, MIT CSAIL researchers discover simulations of reality developing deep within LLMs, indicating an understanding of language beyond simple mimicry.
MIT will convene technologists, philanthropists, business leaders, policymakers, and social-change agents Oct. 5-8, 2015, for the launch of “Solve,” an effort to galvanize these leaders to drive progress on complex, important global challenges that MIT has singled out as urgent and ripe for progress. Solve will organize challenges into four content pillars, identified by MIT as strategic targets for interdisciplinary research, problem solving, and collaboration:
A CWE/Springboard Enterprise Bootcamp has been held each year since 2000. This years all-day event was a "...workshop designed to provide entrepreneurs with the tools they need to successfully develop and execute a venture capital presentation." For women thinking about starting their own business, this information is invaluable.
MIT CSAIL Principal Investigators Dina Katabi and Piotr Indyk have developed a new algorithm that improves on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), a fundamental concept in the information sciences that provides a method for representing irregular signals, compressing image and audio files, and solving differential equations and stock options.
PhD student Will Sussman studies wireless networks while fostering community networks.
Annual award honors early-career researchers for creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has found a new CEO in Jeffrey Jaffe, an MIT alumnus and tech industry stalwart. Jaffe brings with him past experience in executive roles at IBM, Bell Labs, and most recently Novell.
Founded by Tim Berners-Lee, W3C is a global consortium dedicated to pioneering standards and protocols on the World Wide Web. While Berners-Lee will stay on as Director, Jaffe's role will involve overseeing W3C's global operations and maintaining the organization's presence at the forefront of Web development.
