NTT, MIT and Other Researchers Demonstrate Optically Accelerated Edge Computing
May 11, 2023 by
Sunnyvale, Calif. – May 9, 2023 – Researchers from NTT Research, Inc., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and several optical computing companies have demonstrated an approach to optically driven deep neural networks (DNN) that they say resolves the memory-access bottleneck in resource-constrained edge devices, enabling significant energy usage and latency reductions. Conceived by NTT […]
MIT: New Method Uses ML to Accelerate Data Retrieval in Large Databases
March 14, 2023 by
Researchers from MIT and other institutions report that a “hash function” — a core database search operation — can be significantly accelerated through the use of machine learning. The hope is that the new technique could accelerate computational systems that scientists use to store and analyze DNA, amino acid sequences, or other biological information.

MIT: Forcing ML Models to Avoid Shortcuts (and Use More Data) for Better Predictions
November 3, 2021 by
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — If your Uber driver takes a shortcut, you might get to your destination faster. But if a machine learning model takes a shortcut, it might fail in unexpected ways. In machine learning, a shortcut solution occurs when the model relies on a simple characteristic of a dataset to make a decision, rather […]
MIT: Blockchain Could Secure Robot Team Communications
October 5, 2021 by
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 5, 2021 — Imagine a team of autonomous drones equipped with advanced sensing equipment, searching for smoke as they fly high above the Sierra Nevada mountains. Once they spot a wildfire, these leader robots relay directions to a swarm of firefighting drones that speed to the site of the blaze. But what […]
