In a paper out today, a team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) unveiled “SoFi,” a soft robotic fish that can independently swim alongside real fish in the ocean.

Machine learning drives many aspects of people’s experience on Facebook. We use automatic language translation systems to remove communication barriers and enable people to interact with each other even if they speak different languages. Our image classification systems not only allow people to search for photos of their favorite moments, but also provide an immersive experience for the visually impaired with “talking images” that can be read with your fingertips.

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to discover nearly 6,000 previously unknown species of virus. The work, presented on 15 March at a meeting organized by the US Department of Energy (DOE), illustrates an emerging tool for exploring the enormous, largely unknown diversity of viruses on Earth.

Deep neural networks are composed of many individual neurons, which combine in complex and counterintuitive ways to solve challenging tasks, ranging from machine translation to Go. This complexity grants neural networks their power but also earns them their reputation as confusing and opaque black boxes. Understanding how deep neural networks function is critical for explaining their decisions and enabling us to build more powerful systems.
