3 Questions: Blending computing with other disciplines at MIT
The Common Ground for Computing Education is facilitating collaborations to develop new classes for students to pursue computational knowledge within the context of their fields of interest.
Avoiding shortcut solutions in artificial intelligence
A new method forces a machine learning model to focus on more data when learning a task, which leads to more reliable predictions.
Differences in T cells’ functional states determine resistance to cancer therapy
Researchers decipher when and why immune cells fail to respond to immunotherapy, and suggest that T cells need a different kind of prodding in order to re-engage the immune response.
Taming the data deluge
A National Science Foundation-funded team will use artificial intelligence to speed up discoveries in physics, astronomy, and neuroscience.
Study: Indoor air cleaners fall short on removing volatile organic compounds
Comparison of four oxidation-based cleaners suggests the devices produce their own pollutants and vary in effectiveness.
Creating dynamic symmetry in quantum systems
MIT researchers develop a new way to control and measure energy levels in a diamond crystal; could improve qubits in quantum computers.
Engineers devise a way to selectively turn on RNA therapies in human cells
A new RNA-based control switch could be used to trigger production of therapeutic proteins to treat cancer or other diseases.
Making machine learning more useful to high-stakes decision makers
A visual analytics tool helps child welfare specialists understand machine learning predictions that can assist them in screening cases.
