In February 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed an AI system capable of reconstructing motion-blurred human faces in photographs. The model distinguishes between foreground and background blurs by utilizing human-aware masks, effectively separating and processing each area. Trained on th

In January 2020, researchers from the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing Institute of Technology, and Stony Brook University developed an AI system capable of deblurring human faces in photos. The model employs a human-aware approach, distinguishing between foreground and background blurs by utilizing masks to separate them. Trained on the Human-aware Image Deblurring (HIDE

In January 2020, a Stony Brook University-led team received a $4.2 million DARPA KAIROS award to develop AI systems capable of understanding and responding like humans. The project, titled "Structured Generative Models for Multi-modal Schema Learning," aims to create machine learning algorithms that integrate information from text, audio, and video to discern core events from incidental ones. T

Billionaire Len Blavatnik has been instrumental in advancing scientific research through his philanthropic efforts, notably by providing $250,000 unrestricted grants to young scientists and engineers in the U.S. These awards, established in 2014, aim to support early-career researchers under the age of 42, enabling them to pursue innovative projects without the constraints of traditional funding limitations.

Dr. Steven Skiena is a Distinguished Teaching Professor of Computer Science at Stony Brook University whose research interests include algorithm design, data science and their applications to biology. He was co-founder and the Chief Science Officer of General Sentiment, a social media and news analytics company. He is also the author of several popular books in the fields of algorithms, programming, and data science.

Stony Brook University has established a new AI hub, underscoring its commitment to advancing artificial intelligence research and applications. The initiative aims to foster innovation and collaboration across various disciplines, positioning the university as a leader in AI-driven discovery and innovation. This development reflects the growing importance of AI in addressing complex challenges

On May 9, 2019, Stony Brook University officially launched the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovation at Bloomberg headquarters in New York. The Institute aims to advance research in human-machine symbiosis, emphasizing AI technologies that enhance rather than replace human intelligence. Established with $4.5 million in grants from SUNY’s Empire Innovation Program, along with university and private funding, the Institute focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration across fields such as healthcare, infrastructure, education, and finance.
