MIT Computer Science and Articficial Intelligence (CSAIL)

◥ University. ⚫ USA. MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory | MIT CSAIL. About CSAIL | MIT CSAIL. The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory – known as CSAIL ­– is the largest research laboratory at MIT and one of the world’s most important centers of information technology research. CSAIL and its members have played a key role in the computer revolution. The Lab’s researchers have been key movers in developments like time-sharing, massively parallel computers, public key encryption, the mass commercialization of robots, and much of the technology underlying the ARPANet, Internet and the World Wide Web. CSAIL members (former and current) have launched more than 100 companies, including 3Com, Lotus Development Corporation, RSA Data Security, Akamai, iRobot, Meraki, ITA Software, and Vertica.

The Lab is home to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), directed by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the Web and a CSAIL member. “At CSAIL, we believe that computation is the key to creating a successful future. The AI Lab was founded as the AI project in 1959. Design Rationale. Prediction Analysis Lab. Predictics Papers. Downloads | Predictics Portal. A virtual laboratory is a special simulation program with the following characteristics. It is designed as an implementation of a mathematical model and its behaviour is restricted by the validity of the model rules.

The actions of model entities can be modified by changing the parameters of its environment and/or the entities interaction rules. Although realistic behaviour is not fundamental, parameterization helps in looking for biological plausibility. In addition, incremental parametrical changes allow researchers to identify important stable and dividing situations.

Moreover, the concept of the virtual laboratory is a natural way to explain an abstract experiment in an interpersonal communication. Virtual laboratory design makes it possible for an experimenter to change model parameters easily, which with adequate visualization also enables the use of the laboratory as an educational tool.
