AI@MIT Research Blitz

The MIT Quest for Intelligence sponsors talks, seminars, workshops, and poster sessions to share current research at MIT and elsewhere in the science and engineering of natural and  artificial intelligence.

MIT Siegel Family Quest for Intelligence

Join the MIT Quest for Intelligence and the Artificial Intelligence @ MIT Student Group for a mini Research Blitz! This event will focus on Brain Guided Intelligence Hardware. Speakers include Bilge Yildiz, Professor, Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and, Jacob Andreas, X Consortium Career Development Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Abstracts:Bilge YildizElectrochemical synapses as building blocks to emulate and advance learning modelsContent: Our goal is to advance our understanding of learning rules in the brain, and to utilize and translate that understanding to the design of brain-guided machine intelligence platforms. This research is at the intersection of electrochemistry, neuroscience, device and circuit design, and materials science. In this research, we are advancing electrochemically tunable synapses as a building block in a novel hardware architecture that emulates biological learning of a complex vocal behavior in the songbird. Electrochemical ionic-electronic devices have an immense potential to serve as artificial synapses, and enable a new domain of programmable hardware for machine intelligence. These novel devices work with a charge-controlled cation-intercalation mechanism, and present very high energy efficiency. Jacob Andreas Decoding how minds and machines make meaning from languageA defining feature of human cognition, language conveys meaning and offers a glimpse into how the mind represents both external and internal states. In this Quest Mission project, the team will investigate how meaning is represented and how people and AI systems learn to extract meaning from symbols, pixels, and other data. They will develop a new set of benchmark tasks for comparing and analyzing the way humans and AI models represent and reason about meaning in scenes, events, and social interactions.
