MIT CSAIL researchers have developed three neurosymbolic frameworks - LILO, Ada, and LGA - that use natural language to help large language models (LLMs) build better abstractions for coding, AI planning, and robotics tasks.
This article discusses the MIT Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab's 'Tourist Policy' and how it impacted students' access to its resources. As a high school student in Maryland, the author shares their experience of using the lab's PDP-10s over the ARPANET and how it inspired them to learn and contribute to the MIT community.
