Have you ever seen (or eaten) a delicious meal and wished you had the recipe to make it? Now all you have to do is take a picture and give it to an algorithm developed by MIT's Computer Science and ...

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

Robots have amazing efficiency compared to human beings. Using algorithms that optimize work processes, robots are engineered to perform their assigned tasks to completion as efficiently as possible.

The next time you catch your robot watching sitcoms, don't assume it's slacking off. It may be hard at work. TV shows and video clips can help artificially intelligent systems learn about and ...

Computers have a reputation for being able to churn through numbers with limited intuition. Now, though, an algorithm developed by researchers at MIT to find predictive patterns in unfamiliar data has ...

A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their ...

We’re still in the early days of commercial drones, but MIT is already working to end crashes for good. Drones. They crash. A lot. Right now, they’re only as good as their pilots, which often means ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have created an algorithm they claim can predict how memorable or forgettable an image is almost as accurately as a human ...

A new system developed by MIT researchers called “MosAIc” is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. MosAIc scans an image, ...

A new MIT algorithm is capable of determining, with impressive accuracy, whether or not people have COVID-19 — just by listening to them cough. The algorithm, which the researchers trained using the ...

When we say that Erik Demaine has spent the best part of the past two decades folding paper into funny shapes, it’s a bit more impressive than it sounds. In fact, as an 18-year-old Ph.D. student (yes, ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...
