Bart Selman, professor of computer science, opened the lecture series "The Emergence of Intelligent Machines: Challenges and Opportunities"
by highlighting the potential real-world impacts of artificial intelligence.
Speakers at the “Creating CIS: Fireside Chat,” which launched Computing and Information Science’s 20th anniversary celebration on Oct. 2, discussed the societal changes they foresaw at the time – as well as those they didn’t see coming.
A new digital tool developed by a team of researchers at Cornell and Stanford University can accurately predict how knitting patterns will turn out ahead of time – and does it about 100 times faster than existing methods.
The Cornell Center for Social Sciences has awarded $118,000 in spring grants supporting ambitious research projects and conferences involving two-dozen faculty members and resarchers.
The “New Day at the MTA” conference, co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech and the Empire State Development Corporation, explored solutions for an aging transit system that moves 8.6 million people a day.
Dexter Kozen, M.S. ’76, Ph.D. ’77, the Joseph Newton Pew Jr. Professor in Engineering in the Department of Computer Science, will receive the W. Wallace McDowell Award for contributions to computing.
To help robots understand human language when navigating, researchers divided their task into two separate stages: first, interpreting the language in a command and mapping out a path; and then executing the trip.
When it comes to studying for their all-important baccalaureate exam, students in Cameroon are largely left to their own devices. Now a team of Cornell researchers wants to use those devices to help them prepare for the test.
If everyone uses algorithmically generated profiles, users trust them, according to a new study from Cornell researchers. However, if only some hosts choose to delegate writing responsibilities to artificial intelligence, those with AI-generated profiles are likely to be distrusted.
A new computer science course offered last semester explored the ethical and social issues raised by the emergence of robots and artificial intelligence.
