Can a robot learn what its own body looks like — just by watching itself move? W/Neural Jacobian Fields (NJF), CSAIL researchers show that it can. Using just one external camera, NJF enables robots to infer the structure of their joints & limbs — no built-in sensors or prior

Position Bias in LLMs: How Architecture and Training Data Matter
By
–
LLMs sometimes exhibit position bias, where they overemphasize the beginning or end of a document or conversation while neglecting the middle. A theoretical framework from MIT revealed that model architectures & training data contribute to this problem: http://
