Research project supported by NIH uses AI to predict how much trust individuals and communities have in U.S. counties.
Stony Brook, NY, Oct 12, 2024 - In the United States, public confidence in institutions has been declining over the past several decades. It is easy to imagine how these low levels of trust might lead to negative social, political, and economic outcomes, especially in the heat of the 2024 presidential elections. This is why measuring trust consistently and at scale is crucial.

A team of Stony Brook University researchers — led by two scientists in the Department of Biomedical Informatics in the Renaissance School of Medicine (RSOM) and College of Engineering and Applied Sciences (CEAS) — is developing a new way to analyze breast cancer imaging that incorporates mathematical modeling and deep learning. The approach will be much more interpretable and robust compared to previous methods. Their goal is to improve disease diagnosis and chart a treatment plan specific to the biomarker imaging and modeling findings.
