MIT-Pillar AI Collective has announced six fellows for the spring 2024 semester to conduct research in the areas of AI, machine learning, and data science with the aim of commercializing their innovations.
Musician and computational neuroscientist Kimaya Lecamwasam, a doctoral student in the MIT Media Lab program in Media Arts and Sciences, uses neuroscience, AI, and music to explore the impact of music on mental health and well-being.
Alexander Andonian, Daniel Magley, and Madhumitha Ravichandra are the fall 2023 MIT-Pillar AI Collective Fellows who will conduct research in the areas of AI, machine learning, and data science with the aim of commercializing their innovations.
The AIM Photonics fall meeting was a collaborative effort of AIM Photonics Academy, the Microphotonics Center at MIT, and iNEMI. About two dozen attendees joined the Massachusetts Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Supply Chain meeting on the final day. The meeting concluded with the first meeting of the AIM Academy Advisory Council.
When researchers are building large language models (LLMs), they aim to maximize performance under a particular computational and financial budget. Since training a model can amount to millions of dollars, developers need to be judicious with cost-impacting decisions about, for instance, the model architecture, optimizers, and training datasets ...
With ARPA-E funding, MIT Assistant Professor Iwnetim Abate aims to stimulate natural hydrogen production underground, potentially unearthing a new path to a cheap, carbon-free energy source.
Through its partnership with the School of Engineering, Accenture provides five annual fellowships awarded to graduate students with the aim of generating powerful new insights on the convergence of business and technology with the potential to transform society.
MIT and the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China, have announced the launch of the Centers for Mechanical Engineering Research and Education at MIT and SUSTech. The two centers, which will be located at MIT and SUSTech, aim to foster research collaborations and inspire new approaches to engineering education.
Noya, a startup founded by MIT alumnus Josh Santos, has developed low-power, modular units that can be combined to create facilities for removing millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
MIT will also host AIM Photonics’ program in education and workforce development, which Kimerling will direct. This will include developing educational materials — ranging from K-12 through continuing education — to prepare future employees for this emerging industry, including teaching on the design of integrated photonic devices.
