July 30, 2025 New algorithms enable efficient machine learning with symmetric data This new approach could lead to enhanced AI models for drug and materials discovery. June 20, 2025 Unpacking the bias of large language models In a new study, researchers discover the root cause of a type of bias in LLMs, paving the way for more accurate and reliable AI systems. February 8, 2024 How symmetry can come to the aid of machine learning Exploiting the symmetry within datasets, MIT researchers show, can decrease the amount of data needed for training neural networks. January 11, 2023 Unpacking the “black box” to build better AI models Stefanie Jegelka seeks to understand how machine-learning models behave, to help researchers build more robust models for applications in biology, computer vision, optimization, and more.
