Stock market investors often rely on financial risk theories that help them maximize returns while minimizing financial loss due to market fluctuations. These theories help investors maintain a balanced portfolio to ensure they’ll never lose more money than they’re willing to part with at any given time.

From 3-D printing to 3-D knitting, CSAIL researchers venture to streamline design technology through AI. The computer-aided design tool allows for customization of patterns based on user preferences with minimal programming knowledge needed.

Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are working on the problem, and have developed a new system called “Minerva” that allows multiple people to stream video over a single network with minimal buffering and pixelation.

A team from MIT and IBM has now done exactly that with “GANpaint Studio,” a system that can automatically generate realistic photographic images and edit objects inside them. In addition to helping artists and designers make quick adjustments to visuals, the researchers say the work may help computer scientists identify “fake” images.

A team of researchers from MIT CSAIL and QCRI have developed a neural network that can look at an image of a pizza, determine the type and distribution of ingredients, and figure out the correct order to layer the pizza before cooking.

Robots that have been programmed to see or feel can’t use these signals quite as interchangeably. To better bridge this sensory gap, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have come up with a predictive artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn to see by touching, and learn to feel by seeing.

MIT and the US Air Force have signed an agreement to launch a new program designed to make fundamental advances in artificial intelligence that could improve Air Force operations while also addressing broader societal needs.
