Explaining RNNs without neural networks
This article explains how recurrent neural networks (RNN's) work without using the neural network metaphor. It uses a visually-focused data-transformation perspective to show how RNNs encode variable-length input vectors as fixed-length embeddings. Included are PyTorch implementation notebooks that use just linear…

Robot Disinfects Greater Boston Food Bank
MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), in collaboration with Ava Robotics and the Greater Boston Food Bank, designed a robot that disinfects surfaces and neutralizes aerosolized coronavirus with UV-C light. The approach uses a custom UV-C light fixture designed at CSAIL that is…

Tensorflow on edge, or – Building a “smart” security camera with a Raspberry Pi
The amount of time my outdoor cameras are being set off by light, wind, cars, or anything other than a human is insane. Overly cautious security cameras might be a feature, but an annoying one at that...

Image GPT
We find that, just as a large transformer model trained on language can generate coherent text, the same exact model trained on pixel sequences can generate coherent image completions and samples. By establishing a correlation between sample quality and image classification accuracy, we show that our best generative…
