Love is Blind's AI/data scientist Cameron Hamilton speaks with CSAIL's Rachel Gordon on his role as an AI/data scientist, finding love on the hugely popular Netflix show, and where he sees the future of digital dating.

Solar-Lezama has received a $10 million NSF Expeditions in Computing grant for his work on demonstrating that the combination of deep learning and symbolic reasoning can lead to new learning techniques that can better incorporate prior knowledge and produce interpretable models.

Michael Z. Lin, Associate Professor, Stanford University, describes the basic biology of coronaviruses and the disease COVID-19, projections for the current epidemic, and reviews medications currently in clinical trials.

According to MIT CSAIL's Dr. Amar Gupta, whose work concentrates on telemedicine, there are currently many barriers to making health care better, safer, and more affordable for everyone, despite government claims that electronic health records would revolutionize the system.

“There still isn’t a unified way to predict how well a neural network will perform given certain factors like the shape of the model or the amount of data it’s been trained on,” says Jonathan Rosenfeld, who recently developed a new framework on the topic with colleagues at MIT CSAIL.

“It’s important to have balanced, high-throughput routing in PCNs to ensure the money that users put into joint accounts is used efficiently,” says first author Vibhaalakshmi Sivaraman, a graduate student in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL).

“Modern computer processors are opaque, horrendously complicated, and difficult to understand. It is also incredibly challenging to write computer code that executes as fast as possible for these processors,” says co-author Michael Carbin, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). “This tool is a big step forward toward fully modeling the performance of these chips for improved efficiency.”

Given that our smartphones have largely become appendages over the last decade, it’s hard to imagine that ten years ago there was no Instagram, Uber, TikTok or Tinder. The ways we move, shop, eat and communicate continue to evolve thanks to the technologies we use. It can be easy to forget how quickly things have changed - so let’s turn back the clocks and reminisce about some of the computing breakthroughs that have transformed our lives in the ’10s.

“Saman and Peter are fantastic colleagues and extraordinary computer scientists, which makes it no surprise to me that they would be recognized with the most prestigious member grade of the ACM,” said CSAIL director Daniela Rus. “All of us at the lab are so very proud of Saman and Peter for receiving these esteemed honors.”
