Michael Macy, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences in Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences, with a joint appointment in the Department of Information Science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, is a recent recipient of an AWS [Amazon Web Services] Agentic AI Amazon Research Award.
A keynote and faculty panel on Nov. 12 will focus on how faculty can communicate their generative AI-related expectations to students, how students can take accountability for their work, and what this looks like in practice.
Cornell has won three of 15 major grants from the Bezos Earth Fund, awarded to leverage artificial intelligence in the fight against climate change and environmental challenges.
A $1.8 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund will help the Cornell Lab of Ornithology develop acoustic sensors and artificial intelligence analytics to identify real-time threats to forests from illegal activities and provide insights into ecosystem health.
Thomas Ristenpart, professor of computer science at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science, has received the Association for Computing Machinery Conference on Computer and Communications Security (ACM CCS) Test of Time Award for his influential 2015 paper on privacy risks in machine learning.
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.
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.
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.
