MIT CSAIL’s AI can reconstruct hidden movement from video footage alone

December 6, 2019
Seeing around corners and through walls is old hat for AI and machine learning algorithms, which are at the heart of systems (some of which use lasers) that produce images outside a sight line. But what about the much more challenging task of reconstructing hidden objects special equipment? Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say they’ve developed…

Uber’s PPLM language model can change the topic and sentiment of AI-generated text

December 5, 2019
Generative AI language models like OpenAI’s GPT-2 produce impressively coherent and grammatical text, but controlling the attributes of this text — such as the topic or sentiment — requires architecture modification or tailoring to specific data. That’s why a team of scientists at Uber, Caltech, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology devised what they call the Plug and Play…

MIT creates an AI that understands the laws of physics intuitively

December 4, 2019
We often think of artificial intelligence as a tool for automating certain tasks. But it turns out that the technology could also help give us a better understanding of ourselves. At least that’s what a team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) think they’ll be able to do with their new AI model. Dubbed ADEPT, the system is able to, like a human being…
