For Priya Donti, childhood trips to India were more than an opportunity to visit extended family. The biennial journeys activated in her a motivation that continues to shape her research and her teaching. Contrasting her family home in Massachusetts, Donti — now the Silverman Family Career Development Professor in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and a principal investigator at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems — was struck by the disparities […]

Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool

Checking the quality of materials just got easier with a new AI tool

⋅

Manufacturing better batteries, faster electronics, and more effective pharmaceuticals depends on the discovery of new materials and the verification of their quality. Artificial intelligence is helping with the former, with tools that comb through catalogs of materials to quickly tag promising candidates. But once a material is made, verifying its quality still involves scanning it with specialized instruments to validate its performance — an expensive and time-consuming step that can hold up the development and distribution of new […]

Model predicts long-term effects of nuclear waste on underground disposal systems

Model predicts long-term effects of nuclear waste on underground disposal systems

⋅

As countries across the world experience a resurgence in nuclear energy projects, the questions of where and how to dispose of nuclear waste remain as politically fraught as ever. The United States, for instance, has indefinitely stalled its only long-term underground nuclear waste repository. Scientists are using both modeling and experimental methods to study the effects of underground nuclear waste disposal and ultimately, they hope, build public trust in the decision-making process. New research from scientists at MIT, […]

Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality

Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality

⋅

Author(s): VARUN MISHRA Originally published on Towards AI. Unveiling the BLEU Score: Your Guide to Judging Machine Translation Quality Machine translation has come a long way, from clunky rule-based systems to sleek neural models like Transformers. But how do we know if a machine’s translation is any good? Enter the BLEU score — a go-to metric for evaluating machine translation quality. Short for Bilingual Evaluation Understudy, BLEU is like a judge that compares a machine’s output to human […]

It’s the Humidity: How International Researchers in Poland, Deep Learning and NVIDIA GPUs Could Change the Forecast

It’s the Humidity: How International Researchers in Poland, Deep Learning and NVIDIA GPUs Could Change the Forecast

⋅

For more than a century, meteorologists have chased storms with chalkboards, equations, and now, supercomputers. But for all the progress, they still stumble over one deceptively simple ingredient: water vapor. Humidity is the invisible fuel for thunderstorms, flash floods, and hurricanes. It’s the difference between a passing sprinkle and a summer downpour that sends you sprinting for cover. And until now, satellites have struggled to capture it with the detail needed to warn us before skies crack open. […]
