New Algorithm Discovers Language Just by Watching Videos

New Algorithm Discovers Language Just by Watching Videos

A new algorithm called DenseAV, developed by researchers at MIT, learns language by watching videos and matching sounds to images. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we understand animal communication and unlock the secrets of languages without a written form.

AI’s Demographic Shortcuts Lead to Diagnostic Bias in Medical Image Analysis

AI’s Demographic Shortcuts Lead to Diagnostic Bias in Medical Image Analysis

A new MIT study reveals that AI models used to analyze medical images, while highly accurate overall, often exhibit significant bias, performing worse on women and people of color. The research suggests these models may be taking demographic shortcuts, leading to inaccurate diagnoses for certain gro

Seeing Clearly in Black and White: How Early Limitations Shape Visual Resilience

New research from MIT suggests that the brain's ability to recognize objects in both color and black-and-white stems from the visual limitations experienced early in life. This early training in luminance-based object recognition may be key to developing a robust visual system.
