MIT EECS professor Jonathan Ragan-Kelley received ACM SIGGRAPH'S 2021 Significant New Researcher Award, for his “outstanding contributions to systems and compilers in rendering and computational photography,” according to ACM’s press release. 

Scientists from CSAIL came up with a way to better navigate the complexity of supporting computer program instructions. Their tool “VeGen” (pronounced “vegan”) automatically generates compiler plugins to effectively use more complicated instructions.

CSAIL researchers aim to reduce the amount of wrong or out-of-date information online and also create deep learning models that dynamically adjust to recent changes. 

Improper adherence to doctors’ orders is commonplace, accounting for thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in medical costs annually. MIT researchers have developed a system to reduce those numbers for some types of medications.

What if creating a new DSL could be done without coding experts, and without nearly as much as time and effort?
