MIT researchers find artificial intelligence can pick out racial identity from medical images — even when no clear indication of race is present.

MIT CSAIL research affiliate Chris Rackauckas often uses his spare time to answer questions about numerical differential equations that people have posed online.

MIT scientists created a rapid design and fabrication tool for soft pneumatic actuators for integrated sensing, which can power personalized health care, smart homes, and gaming.

Language-processing programs infer the meaning of words through statistics, and this computational approach can assign many kinds of information to a single word, just like the human brain, according to new MIT research. The study, published April 14, 2022, in the journal Nature Human Behavior, was co-led by Gabriel Grand, a graduate student at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, and Idan Blank, an assistant professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and...

A new neural network approach from MIT and IBM researchers captures the characteristics of a physical system’s dynamic motion from video, regardless of rendering configuration or image differences, bringing us one step closer to creating realistic simulations from real-world videos.

MIT researchers discovered a new way to estimate the amount of information contained in a piece of data using probabilistic programming and probabilistic inference. The breakthrough entropy estimators open up new applications in medicine, scientific discovery, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence.

Jonathan Zong, an MIT PhD candidate, thinks consent can be baked into the design of software that gathers data for online research. He created “Bartleby,” a system for debriefing participants and eliciting their views about social media research that involved them.

MIT researchers developed a robotic gripper using novel “GelSight Fin Ray” fingers that are supple enough to manipulate objects. This gripper has touch sensors that can meet or exceed the sensitivity of human skin.

Privid is a new system that provides better privacy in video footage from surveillance cameras. The system, developed out of MIT CSAIL, lets analysts submit video data queries, and adds a bit of noise to the end result to ensure an individual can’t be identified.

ElectroVoxels are self-reconfiguring robot blocks, developed at MIT using embedded electromagnets to test applications for space exploration.
