    • SmellNet: A Large-scale Dataset for Real-world Smell Recognition 

      Feng, Dewei (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)
      The ability of AI to sense and identify various substances based on their smell alone can have profound impacts on allergen detection (e.g., smelling gluten or peanuts in a cake), monitoring the manufacturing process, and ...

    • Towards Zero-Shot Pretrained Models for Efficient Black-Box Optimization 

      Meindl, Jamison Chivvis (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)
      Global optimization of expensive, derivative-free black-box functions requires extreme sample efficiency. While Bayesian optimization (BO) is the current state-of-the-art, its performance hinges on surrogate and acquisition ...

    • Temperature Characterization of Colloidal Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes 

      Nguyen, Thienan D. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)
      Colloidal quantum dot light emitting diodes reveal to be promising candidates for the next generation of display technologies. Their brighter emissions, greater color purity, and higher efficiency make them highly desirable ...
