Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Demystifying Higher Education with AI
Higher education is at a crossroads. Budgets are tightening. Student needs are growing more complex. And the pressure to demonstrate measurable outcomes—graduation rates, job placement, lifelong value—has never been higher. As institutions grapple with these demands, artificial intelligence isn’t some futuristic buzzword anymore—it’s a practical, proven tool that’s helping colleges and universities rise to the…
Mastering Stratego, the classic game of imperfect information
Research Published 1 December 2022 Authors Julien Perolat, Bart De Vylder, Daniel Hennes, Eugene Tarassov, Florian Strub and Karl Tuyls DeepNash learns to play Stratego from scratch by combining game theory and model-free deep RL Game-playing artificial intelligence (AI) systems have advanced to a new frontier. Stratego, the classic board game that’s more complex than…
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 Kyaw, a graduate student pursuing dual master’s degrees in architectural studies…
LLMs Can Now Reason in Parallel: UC Berkeley and UCSF Researchers Introduce Adaptive Parallel Reasoning to Scale Inference Efficiently Without Exceeding Context Windows
Large language models (LLMs) have made significant strides in reasoning capabilities, exemplified by breakthrough systems like OpenAI o1 and DeepSeekR1, which utilize test-time compute for search and reinforcement learning to optimize performance. Despite this progress, current methodologies face critical challenges that impede their effectiveness. Serialized chain-of-thought approaches generate excessively long output sequences, increasing latency and…
Feeling Pressure to Invest in AI? Good—You Should Be
AI is not new. Humans began researching AI in the 1940s, and computer scientists like John McCarthy opened our eyes to the possibilities of what this technology could achieve. What is relatively new, though, is the volume of hype. It feels exponential. ChatGPT was released in 2022 to great fanfare, and now DeepSeek and Qwen…
AI for the board game Diplomacy
Research Published 6 December 2022 Authors Yoram Bachrach, János Kramár Agents cooperate better by communicating and negotiating, and sanctioning broken promises helps keep them honest Successful communication and cooperation have been crucial for helping societies advance throughout history. The closed environments of board games can serve as a sandbox for modelling and investigating interaction and…
The MIT-Portugal Program enters Phase 4
Since its founding 19 years ago as a pioneering collaboration with Portuguese universities, research institutions and corporations, the MIT-Portugal Program (MPP) has achieved a slew of successes — from enabling 47 entrepreneurial spinoffs and funding over 220 joint projects between MIT and Portuguese researchers to training a generation of exceptional researchers on both sides of…
Mem0: A Scalable Memory Architecture Enabling Persistent, Structured Recall for Long-Term AI Conversations Across Sessions
Large language models can generate fluent responses, emulate tone, and even follow complex instructions; however, they struggle to retain information across multiple sessions. This limitation becomes more pressing as LLMs are integrated into applications that require long-term engagement, such as personal assistance, health management, and tutoring. In real-life conversations, people recall preferences, infer behaviors, and…
How Virtualization with React-Window Boosts React App Performance
Introduction Handling large lists in web applications can be challenging, leading to slow rendering, high memory usage, and unresponsive user interfaces. This blog explores how React-Window, a powerful virtualization library, optimizes performance by rendering only visible items while dynamically loading content as users scroll. Exploring React-Window: Virtualization for Scalable Lists We begin by understanding the…
How Patronus AI’s Judge-Image is Shaping the Future of Multimodal AI Evaluation
Multimodal AI is transforming the field of artificial intelligence by combining different types of data, such as text, images, video, and audio, to provide a deeper understanding of information. This approach is similar to how humans process the world around them using multiple senses. For example, AI can examine medical images in healthcare while considering…
