MIT AI lab projects and publications

This is an incomplete list of lab projects, which will grow as the members of the lab make things available.

General Background on Research at the Lab

Lab Summary
An excerpt from the MIT President's Report which briefly describes the ongoing projects at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Lab publications
On-line access to recent publications, searchable indices of all publications, and pointers into the ftp directory.

Robotics and Machine Vision

Computer Vision
The Computer Vision Group at the MIT AI Lab.
Mobile robotics
The Mobile Robot Group at the MIT AI Lab.

Learning Systems

Center for Biological and Computational Learning
CBCL, the Center for Biological and Computational Learning at MIT, provides a High Performance Computing environment in order to foster the development of multidisciplinary approaches to the study of problems in the fields of intelligence and learning.

Information Access

Intelligent Information Infrastructure Project
The Intelligent Information Infrastructure Project researches general systems for distributing and retrieving information. The project has built automated tools for managing outbound and inbound communications flows, whether via email, distributed hypermedia, or other electronic media. Its members conduct research on interactive tools for wide-area communication, including approaches to natural language understanding.

Computing Systems and Environments

Transit Project
The MIT Transit Project aims to design, build, program, and utilize novel massively parallel MIMD computer architectures. We utilize cutting edge technology to achieve practical systems with a high degree of both scalar and parallel performance. To make very large computer systems practical, we are concerned with fault-tolerance and scalability.
Concurrent VLSI Architecture Group
The MIT Concurrent VLSI Architecture (CVA) Group investigates methods for applying VLSI technology to information processing problems. Ongoing projects address issues in parallel computer architecture, parallel computer software, interconnection networks, special purpose processor design, and VLSI design.
Abacus Project
The Abacus project is building a high performance SIMD computer targeted at early vision applications.
Project MAC
The MIT Project on Mathematics and Computation (a.k.a. Switzerland).
The Scheme Underground
A project to develop a new, highly portable programming environment for Unix, the World Wide Web, and wearable computers.
