Doctoral student’s system eases patient-discharge process
Every day, millions of people are discharged after extended hospital stays, but matching these patients with appropriate care facilities can be arduous, often reliant on months-old, inaccurate data.
Now, a text message-based, hybrid computer-human system that regularly updates both patients’ and care facilities’ availability statuses, developed by a Cornell doctoral student, is smoothing that time-consuming process. The system was tested at a hospital in Hawaii for 14 months, beginning in early 2022, and helped place nearly 50 patients in care facilities.
AI-generated content a triple threat for Reddit moderators
Researchers at Cornell Tech and Cornell Bowers engaged directly with 15 content moderators on Reddit to see exactly how they try to preserve the news sharing site’s humanity in an increasingly AI-infused world.
Using AI to learn quantum complexity
Cornell physicists and computer scientists have developed a machine learning architecture inspired by the large language models (LLMs) behind ChatGPT to help them study the vastly complicated interactions that happen when nature’s smallest particles interact.
Pain tolerance increases during social interaction in VR
Researchers in the Virtual Embodiment Lab found that engagement in social virtual reality, whether with loved ones or total strangers, enhances pain tolerance.
‘Bottling’ human intuition for AI-led materials discovery
A Cornell researcher and collaborators have developed a machine-learning model that encapsulates and quantifies the valuable intuition of human experts in the quest to discover new quantum materials.
Models feel hemmed in by AI
Using generative AI, fashion designers can use digital photos to adjust models’ features and even deploy fully digital avatars in place of humans. A team including an ILR School researcher has written a paper highlighting models’ challenges.
Cornell awarded NSF grant to build AI-ready living lab for agriculture
Cornell University has been awarded a portion of a $2 million planning initiative from the U.S. National Science Foundation to establish AI4Ag, a national testbed for artificial intelligence in agriculture.
