Decoding the Magic of AI Art: Unveiling the Process of Text-to-Image Diffusion Models
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides and currently has the potential to revolutionize the art world by enabling the creation of art that is not only unique and diverse but also highly personalized and interactive. The growing...
Merging design and computer science in creative ways
The speed with which new technologies hit the market is nothing compared to the speed with which talented researchers find creative ways to use them, train them, even turn them into things we can’t live without. One such researcher is MIT MAD Fellow Alexander Htet...
Novel method detects microbial contamination in cell cultures
Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP) interdisciplinary research group of the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, in collaboration with MIT, A*STAR Skin...
Artificial intelligence enhances air mobility planning
Every day, hundreds of chat messages flow between pilots, crew, and controllers of the Air Mobility Command's 618th Air Operations Center (AOC). These controllers direct a thousand-wide fleet of aircraft, juggling variables to determine which routes to fly, how much...
Designing a new way to optimize complex coordinated systems
Coordinating complicated interactive systems, whether it’s the different modes of transportation in a city or the various components that must work together to make an effective and efficient robot, is an increasingly important subject for software designers to...
New model predicts a chemical reaction’s point of no return
When chemists design new chemical reactions, one useful piece of information involves the reaction’s transition state — the point of no return from which a reaction must proceed. This information allows chemists to try to produce the right conditions that will allow...
“Periodic table of machine learning” could fuel AI discovery
MIT researchers have created a periodic table that shows how more than 20 classical machine-learning algorithms are connected. The new framework sheds light on how scientists could fuse strategies from different methods to improve existing AI models or come up with...
Norma Kamali is transforming the future of fashion with AI
What happens when a fashion legend taps into the transformative power of artificial intelligence? For more than five decades, fashion designer and entrepreneur Norma Kamali has pioneered bold industry shifts, creating iconic silhouettes worn by celebrities including...
3D modeling you can feel
Essential for many industries ranging from Hollywood computer-generated imagery to product design, 3D modeling tools often use text or image prompts to dictate different aspects of visual appearance, like color and form. As much as this makes sense as a first point of...
MIT’s McGovern Institute is shaping brain science and improving human lives on a global scale
In 2000, Patrick J. McGovern ’59 and Lore Harp McGovern made an extraordinary gift to establish the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, driven by their deep curiosity about the human mind and their belief in the power of science to change lives. Their $350...
Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language
Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers’ lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn’t cause a computer to crash. Some methods exist for...
