What would the world be like if we could expand our senses beyond the capacities that we come to the table with? By feeding information to the brain via unusual pathways (a process called sensory substitution), we can feed streams of data to the brain and expand the human sensory ...
The gradient of a log probability density function (aka, score function) is a very useful quantity in generative modeling. One existing method for estimating the score function from data is score matching, yet it is computationally prohibitive for complex, high-dimensional datasets. To alleviate this difficulty, we propose sliced score matching, ...
In the 21st century the world faces the new challenge of drastically reducing emissions of greenhouse gases while simultaneously expanding access to energy and economic opportunity for billions of people. In a recent MIT study we have examined this challenge in the electricity sector, which has been widely identified as ...

That encounter began her mid-life transition from being a professional singer, music teacher and Juilliard graduate to an explainer of difficult scientific concepts ...
The most common stars in the Universe are red dwarfs. These are small, faint, cool stars that range from one-tenth to one-half the diameter of the Sun and which have extraordinarily-long lifetimes. Recent surveys have discovered Earth-size planets around several red dwarf stars, including Proxima Centauri (the nearest star to ...
