Penn State World Campus is working with Google Cloud to develop artificial intelligence to help its academic advising staff answer the most common requests from its students.
Penn State alumnus Jay Yonamine joins the "Democracy Works" podcast this week to discuss how automation and misinformation are impacting the health and stability of democracies around the world.
An algorithm that uses a machine learning technique based on the human brain could ease that data clog by reducing the size of multimedia files, such as videos and images, and restoring them without losing much quality or information.
Penn State's Institute for CyberScience has awarded $367,632 in seed funding for projects designed to use machine learning and artificial intelligence to assist the public good. The grants support projects in 20 different departments and units, 10 colleges and three institutes.
Ten student teams at Penn State will receive $1,500 from the Nittany AI Alliance to move on to Phase Three of the Nittany AI Challenge. Teams competing in the challenge are directed to use the prize money to create a minimum viable product using the artificial intelligence platform of their choosing to address real-world problems facing students at the University.
This month's Institute for CyberScience seminar will feature a panel of experts on April 11 who will discuss possible positive and negative changes AI — artificial intelligence — may have on healthcare and medicine.
Some people see Artificial Intelligence as a tool to help humanity, while others worry it's a weapon that will be used against people. Researchers at Penn State are working to help people adopt AI technologies in the most beneficial way possible.
Using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies may help scientists better understand weather and weather variability. As the climate changes, this may help prepare people for changes in their region's weather patterns, and better preparedness could save money and lives.
Machine-learning programs are increasingly being used in a range of important tasks, from selecting university candidates to powering voting machines. That makes them valuable — and vulnerable, according to Patrick McDaniel, William L. Weiss Professor of Information and Communications Technology at Penn State and an Institute for CyberScience associate.
C. Lee Giles will present a seminar on AI and machine learning and its current uses in real-world cases as part of Penn State's Institute for CyberScience seminar series.
AI Immersion Day, originally scheduled for Feb. 20 at the Nittany Lion Inn, will be rescheduled for another date, due to inclement weather. Sessions and hands-on workshops will be presented by Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Oracle.
After training computers how to detect design features in homes, researchers were able to see how different cultures around the world decorated their living rooms. The researchers analyzed publicly available photos of about 50,000 living rooms.
The Institute for CyberScience will host two workshops on machine learning on Feb. 12 and March 12 for faculty, staff and students who want to learn more about artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as explore how this technology might be used in their own research.
People can now register for the Institute for CyberScience Symposium 2019. The one-day conference will explore the use — as well as the legal and ethical implications — of artificial intelligence and machine learning in science and research.
Nine teams have been selected from 30 applicants to Happy Valley LaunchBox powered by PNC Bank's FastTrack Accelerator. Student career success, educational costs, better acne treatment plans, air purification systems to support fire rescue efforts, and person-to-person lending are among the startup ideas being validated.
