“Researchers free up more bandwidth by compressing “objects” within the memory hierarchy. A novel technique developed by MIT researchers rethinks hardware data compression to free up more memory used by computers and mobile devices, allowing them to run faster and …
“Counting search queries isn’t easy, but MIT CSAIL’s new LearnedSketch system for “frequency-estimation” aims to help. If you look under the hood of the internet, you’ll find lots of gears churning along that make it all possible …
“Long-haul trucks with electric motors combined with gas-alcohol engines could slash pollution levels and greenhouse gases. Heavy-duty trucks, such as the 18-wheelers that transport many of the world’s goods from farm or factory to market, are virtually all powered …
“New architecture promises to cut in half the energy and physical space required to store and manage user data. MIT researchers have designed a novel flash-storage system that could cut in half the energy and physical space required for one …
“Assembled from tiny identical pieces, the wing could enable lighter, more energy-efficient aircraft designs. A team of engineers has built and tested a radically new kind of airplane wing, assembled from hundreds of tiny identical pieces. The wing can change …
“Researchers combine statistical and symbolic artificial intelligence techniques to speed learning and improve transparency. A child who has never seen a pink elephant can still describe one — unlike a computer. “The computer learns from data,” says Jiajun Wu, a PhD …
“Machine learning can reveal optimal growing conditions to maximize taste and other features. What goes into making plants taste good? For scientists in MIT’s Media Lab, it takes a combination of botany, machine-learning algorithms, and some good old-fashioned chemistry …
“If you look under the hood of the internet, you’ll find lots of gears churning along that make it all possible. For example, take a company like AT&T. They have to intimately understand what internet data is going …
“Sensor can monitor wiring in a building or ship, and signal when repairs are needed. A new system devised by researchers at MIT can monitor the behavior of all electric devices within a building, ship, or factory, determining which ones …
“Algorithm designs optimized machine-learning models up to 200 times faster than traditional methods. A new area in artificial intelligence involves using algorithms to automatically design machine-learning systems known as neural networks, which are more accurate and efficient than those developed …
