Creating Synthetic Radar Imagery Using Convolutional Neural Networks
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-02-15)
Weather radar can track the location and intensity of storms and is useful for managing transportation around hazardous weather. Air traffic controllers, for example, rely on weather radar to track storms that could impact ...
Video and Imagery Dataset to Drive Public Safety Capabilities
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-08-23)
Laboratory staff have been developing a computer vision dataset of operational and representative public safety scenarios. This dataset will enable technology development tailored to public safety scenarios, and includes ...
An algorithm with an eye for visibility helps pilots in Alaska
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-06-17)
In remote areas of Alaska, pilots check current or forecasted weather conditions before they fly, but a lack of automated weather observation stations throughout the Alaskan bush makes it hard to know exactly what to expect. ...
LLx Project Seeks to Improve Online Hands-On Learning
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-12-06)
Online learning has been around for decades, but educators still struggle to adapt certain hands-on subjects to the web. At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, a team of researchers has been working on ways to close this practical ...

MIT Lincoln Laboratory staff in the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center are developing tools to
address challenges in data management and algorithmic techniques for novel neural network
architectures to enable rapid ...
The Laboratory’s New AI Supercomputer is the Most Powerful at any University
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-07-19)
The new TX-GAIA computing system at the Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC) has been ranked as the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) supercomputer at any university in the world. The ranking comes from ...
Wilkinson Prize goes to developers of flexible Julia programming language
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-03-12)
Programmers developing applications for fields as diverse as astronomy, economics, artificial intelligence, energy optimization, and medicine often found themselves creating software with languages that offered slow ...
Record-breaking DNA comparisons drive fast forensics
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-06-17)
DNA forensics is a powerful tool, yet it presents a computational scaling problem when it is improved and expanded for complex samples (those containing DNA from more than one individual) and kinship analysis. Laboratory ...
Supercomputers Can Spot Cyber Threats
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-01-18)
Lincoln Laboratory researchers have developed a technique to compress hours of internet traffic into a bundle that can be analyzed for suspicious behavior.
Lidar Scans Over the Carolinas Accelerate Hurricane Recovery
(MIT Lincoln Laboratory, 2019-01-11)
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) called upon MIT Lincoln Laboratory to use its state-of-the-art light detection and ranging (lidar) system to image the destruction from hurricane Florence. A high-resolution ...
