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.
Seven technology startups pitched their business concepts to a panel of judges, with hopes of winning a cash prize of up to $10,000 from Ben Franklin Technology Partners, on May 21 at Innovation Park in State College.
Penn State New Kensington's third annual Off the Wall pARTy, scheduled for June 14, will feature artists Rodney Allen Trice and George Williams; live music by Vida Loves Donnie and Belly Up; seven pop-up galleries; interactive art stations; tapas and libations; and live and silent auctions.
More than 200 seventh grade girls will explore all things STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) during the 23rd annual Pathways to Your Future: Exploring STEAM Careers program on Friday, May 10 at Penn State York. The program offers 30 workshops, and is free.
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.
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.
A researcher and development engineer for the Institute for CyberScience will review high-performance computing resources available to researchers at 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28, in W203 Millennium Science Complex at University Park. Seating is limited, so attendees must register in advance.
Happy Valley LaunchBox powered by PNC Bank invites area residents and Penn State students, faculty and staff with unique business ideas to apply to participate in its Idea TestLab. Entry is competitive, and the application deadline is Feb. 4.
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.
Penn State is leading a group of 18 higher education institutions striving to provide resources that help educators pedagogically incorporate technology that delivers better learning outcomes.
This fall, undergraduate students are working together in cross-college teams to develop original mobile health prototypes that address societal health needs associated with specific target audiences. The 2018 mHealth Challenge will be held Nov. 12 during Global Entrepreneurship Week.
Have you ever noticed that colors start to fade and blend together at lower light levels? Due to how our eyes process color, the dimmer the light source, the less vivid a color appears. This can be a particular challenge for people trying to distinguish colors in low lighting environments like museums and restaurants. Fortunately, Penn State Professor of Architectural Engineering Kevin Houser has developed a technology at Penn State and formed a startup, called Lyralux, to solve this problem.
Research combining technology and the outdoors is ‘Transforming Outdoor Places into Learning Spaces’ for children and families.
Researchers found that lower-paid Amazon Mechanical Turk microworkers — or Turkers — were more likely to reduce their efforts, as well as experience psychological states that could impact the results of the study. Microwork sites offer scientists and other researchers an inexpensive way to recruit participants, who often agree to be paid well below the minimum wage.
