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
Governor Kathy Hochul's FY 2023 budget includes significant investments for Long Island, totaling $350 million to bolster the regional economy. A notable allocation is $50 million designated for an artificial intelligence partnership between Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stony Brook University. This initiative aims to advance AI research and innovation on Long Island.
Stony Brook University has received Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) fellowships for six departments: psychology, civil engineering, computer science, biomedical engineering, materials science and chemical engineering, and electrical and computer engineering. Each department offers five fellowships annually, totaling 30 graduate student fellowships per year across the university.
A study published on Hospimedica highlights the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting fractures on X-rays. The research demonstrated that AI assistance reduced missed fractures by 29% and increased diagnostic sensitivity by 16% for single fractures, and by 30% for cases involving multiple fractures. Additionally, AI improved specificity by 5% and shortened X-ray reading ti
Stony Brook University's Computer Science faculty developed an in-house COVID Surveillance Screening platform, deployed by the Renaissance School of Medicine. This system enhances the university's ability to monitor and manage COVID-19 cases effectively. By leveraging advanced computational techniques, the platform supports timely identification of potential outbreaks, contributing to the heal
Researchers from the University of Waterloo, in collaboration with DarwinAI and radiologists from Stony Brook School of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, have developed an AI tool to assess the severity of COVID-19 lung infections using chest x-rays. This deep-learning AI analyzes the extent and opacity of infections, aligning closely with expert radiologist evaluations. The technology a
