Imagine a coffee company trying to optimize its supply chain. The company sources beans from three suppliers, roasts them at two facilities into either dark or light coffee, and then ships the roasted coffee to three retail locations. The suppliers have different fixed capacity, and roasting costs and shipping costs vary from place to place….

This breakthrough will help address the increasing demands of advanced computing architectures, especially as AI systems continue to scale. By incorporating…
While Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) can be useful aides in interpreting some of the more arcane or challenging submissions in computer vision literature, there’s one area where they are hamstrung: determining the merits and subjective quality of any video examples that accompany new papers*. This is a critical aspect of a submission, since scientific papers…
Pattie Maes, the Germeshausen Professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT and head of the Fluid Interfaces research group within the MIT Media Lab, has been awarded the 2025 ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Research Award. She will accept the award at CHI 2025 in Yokohama, Japan this April. The Lifetime Research Award is given to individuals whose research…
The AI model market is growing quickly, with companies like Google, Meta, and OpenAI leading the way in developing new AI technologies. Google’s Gemma 3 has recently gained attention as one of the most powerful AI models that can run on a single GPU, setting it apart from many other models that need much more…
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is an approach to building AI systems that combines a language model with an external knowledge source. In simple terms, the AI first searches for relevant documents (like articles or webpages) related to a user’s query, and then uses those documents to generate a more accurate answer. This method has been celebrated…
In a major leap forward for productivity software, Sourcetable has announced a $4.3 million seed round and the launch of what it calls the world’s first autonomous, AI-powered spreadsheet — a “self-driving” experience that reimagines how humans interact with data.
