Stony Brook University's Ookami supercomputer, operational since 2020, has joined the National Science Foundation's ACCESS (Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Coordination Ecosystem: Services & Support) program as a resource provider. Ookami is the first system outside Japan to utilize the A64FX processor developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu, which was also employed in the Fugaku supercomputer, previously the world's fastest machine.
Researchers at the University of Maryland's Human-Computer Interaction Lab have developed DramatVis Personae (DVP), a web-based AI tool designed to help writers identify and address stereotypes in their creative works. DVP analyzes characters in a narrative by tracking mentions and actions, allowing authors to assign demographic information such as age, ethnicity, and gender. The tool visualize

Stony Brook University has awarded its inaugural ProFund Seed Grants to six interdisciplinary research projects aimed at enhancing competitiveness for federal funding. The selected initiatives span diverse fields, including advanced materials science, quantum processing, environmental health, energy storage, digital histopathology, and sustainable ammonia synthesis. Each project is led by a pr
Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have developed an innovative device that mimics the human retina, enabling artificial intelligence (AI) to instantly recognize and process visual information. This breakthrough combines sensing, memory, and processing into a single compact unit, significantly enhancing speed and efficiency compared to traditional systems. The device operate
In 2022, researchers from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), including CEO Oren Etzioni and research scientist Jesse Dodge, received the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 10-year Test-of-Time Paper Award. They were honored for their influential 2012 papers: "Open Language Learning for Information Extraction" and "Midge: Generating Image Descriptions from Computer Vision Detections."
A study from Stony Brook University reveals that the language used in Facebook posts can help identify individuals at risk for hazardous drinking habits and alcohol use disorders. Researchers analyzed social media content to detect linguistic patterns associated with alcohol-related issues. This approach offers a novel method for early intervention and support for individuals struggling with e
