“Model learns to pick out objects within an image, using spoken descriptions. MIT computer scientists have developed a system that learns to identify objects within an image, based on a spoken description of the image. Given an image and an …

“Model from MIT Lincoln Laboratory Intelligence and Decision Technologies Group sets a new standard for understanding how a neural network makes decisions. A child is presented with a picture of various shapes and is asked to find the big red …

“MIT-developed tool improves automated image vectorization, saving digital artists time and effort. Artists may soon have at their disposal a new MIT-developed tool that could help them create digital characters, logos, and other graphics more quickly and easily …

“Breakthrough CSAIL system suggests robots could one day be able to see well enough to be useful in people’s homes and offices. Humans have long been masters of dexterity, a skill that can largely be credited to the help …

“Scientists find a theoretical optical device may have uses in quantum computing. Nearly 150 years ago, the physicist James Maxwell proposed that a circular lens that is thickest at its center, and that gradually thins out at its edges, should …

“The dynamic programming language, which is free and open source, combines the speed and popular features of the best scientific and technical software. After years of tinkering, the dynamic programming language Julia 1.0 was officially released to the public …

“MIT researchers develop inexpensive way to perform full lifecycle analysis of design choices as buildings are being planned. Typically, when architects or engineers design a new building, it’s only at the end of the process — if ever — that a …

“Technique could be used to scale-up self-assembled materials for use as optical sensors, color displays, and light-guided electronics. MIT engineers have united the principles of self-assembly and 3-D printing using a new technique, which they highlight today in the journal …

“Novel combination of two encryption techniques protects private data, while keeping neural networks running quickly. A novel encryption method devised by MIT researchers secures data used in online neural networks, without dramatically slowing their runtimes. This approach holds promise for …

“In a novel system developed by MIT researchers, underwater sonar signals cause vibrations that can be decoded by an airborne receiver. MIT researchers have taken a step toward solving a longstanding challenge with wireless communication: direct data transmission between underwater …
