6 天之前 · Ecologists find computer vision models’ blind spots in retrieving wildlife images. Biodiversity researchers tested vision systems on how well they could retrieve relevant nature images. More advanced models performed well on simple queries but struggled with more research-specific prompts. December 20, 2024. Read full story →

Toward a code-breaking quantum computer - MIT News
2024年8月23日 · A quantum computer performs computations using quantum circuits, just like a classical computer uses classical circuits. Each quantum circuit is composed of a series of operations known as quantum gates. These quantum gates utilize qubits, which are the smallest building blocks of a quantum computer, to perform calculations.
Startup accelerates progress toward light-speed computing
2024年3月1日 · Prior to MIT, Harris worked at the semiconductor company Micron Technology, where he studied the fundamental devices behind integrated chips. The experience made him see how the traditional approach for improving computer performance — cramming more transistors onto each chip — was hitting its limits.
Envisioning the future of computing - MIT News
2023年6月16日 · “We were so excited to see the amazing response to this contest. It made clear how much students at MIT, contrary to stereotype, really care about the wider implications of technology, says Daniel Jackson, professor of computer science and one of the final-round judges. “So many of the essays were incredibly thoughtful and creative.
Twenty-five ways in which MIT has transformed computing
2019年2月25日 · 1944: The digital computer . The first digital computer that could operate in real-time came out of Project Whirlwind, a initiative during World War II in which MIT worked with the U.S. Navy to develop a universal flight simulator. The device’s success led to the creation of MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1951.
Modular, scalable hardware architecture for a quantum computer
2024年5月29日 · We are proposing a brand new architecture and a fabrication technology that can support the scalability requirements of a hardware system for a quantum computer,” says Linsen Li, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student and lead author of a paper on this architecture.
Using artificial intelligence to generate 3D holograms in real-time
2021年3月10日 · Despite years of hype, virtual reality headsets have yet to topple TV or computer screens as the go-to devices for video viewing. One reason: VR can make users feel sick. Nausea and eye strain can result because VR creates an illusion of 3D viewing although the user is in fact staring at a fixed-distance 2D display.
How can we reduce the carbon footprint of global computing?
2022年4月28日 · Companies such as Google are optimizing energy use at their data centers through improved design, technology, and renewable energy. "Five of our data centers around the globe are operating near or above 90 percent carbon-free energy,” said Jeff Dean, Google's senior fellow and senior vice president of Google Research.
How quickly do algorithms improve? - MIT News
2021年9月20日 · They tell the computer how to make sense of information so they can, in turn, make something useful out of it. The more efficient the algorithm, the less work the computer has to do. For all of the technological progress in computing hardware, and the much debated lifespan of Moore’s Law, computer performance is only one side of the picture.
