From the About CSAIL page:

The primary mission of CSAIL ( Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory ) is research in both computation and artificial intelligence, broadly construed. It is organized into four broad research areas:

Systems covers all aspects of the building of both hardware and software computational systems

Perception and Learning includes work on the sorts of things that all people manage to do effortlessly, both emulating those abilities, and simulating their appearance.

Physical, Biological and Social Systems might also be called complex adaptive systems, and covers work from robotics, to molecular biology, to semantic systems, to computational models of politics.

From the DIG page:

The Decentralized Information Group explores technical, institutional, and public policy questions necessary to advance the development of global, decentralized information environments.

Also see SIMILE.

SIMILE is focused on developing robust, open source tools based on Semantic Web technologies that improve access, management and reuse among digital assets.

Important projects include Babel, Piggy Bank, DFizers, Semantic Bank and Timeline.
