MIT EECS professor and CSAIL principal investigator Hari Balakrishnan has received the annual SIGCOMM Lifetime Achievement Award, for his contributions to mobile and wireless systems, resilient networks, and congestion control.
“We aim to inspire the next generation of great computer science researchers who will invent, design and program intelligent computers that we can only dream of today,” says MIT professor Srini Devadas, who runs the computer science section of PRIMES that began in 2012.
It was announced that MIT EECS professors Phillip Isola and Antonio Torralba received career awards at the 2021 The Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR).
The potential applications of AI, spanning civilian and military uses, are diverse, and include advances in areas like restorative and regenerative medical care, cyber resiliency, natural language processing, computer vision, and autonomous robotics.
A new tactile sensing carpet from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) can estimate human poses without using cameras, in a step towards improving self-powered personalized healthcare, smart homes, and gaming.
MIT EECS professor Jonathan Ragan-Kelley received ACM SIGGRAPH'S 2021 Significant New Researcher Award, for his “outstanding contributions to systems and compilers in rendering and computational photography,” according to ACM’s press release.
The confluence of medicine and artificial intelligence stands to create truly high-performance, specialized care for patients, with enhanced precision diagnosis and personalized disease management.
A team from MIT has been working on a self-driving system that uses machine learning so that custom hand-tuning isn’t needed. Their new end-to-end framework can navigate autonomously using only raw 3D point cloud data and low-resolution GPS maps, similar to those available on smartphones today.
CSAIL research on “Translating lost languages using machine learning” has been announced as one of the 2021 Netexplo Award Winners in partnership with UNESCO.
