New Cornell research shows the metaverse – a virtual 3D environment in which the physical and digital worlds converge – could have environmental benefits: lowering the global surface temperature by up to 0.02 degrees Celsius before the end of the century.
Cornell researchers have developed a robot called ReMotion that occupies physical space on a remote user’s behalf, automatically mirroring the user’s movements in real time and conveying key body language that is lost in standard virtual environments.
David Williamson, chair of the Department of Information Science in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science and professor of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE), will receive the 2022 American Mathematical Society (AMS) Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research.
As society ponders the dangers and unknowns of AI, Liz Karns is giving statistics students a first-hand look at the potential implications for users of large-scale predictive models, in hopes of increasing their empathy and awareness of unintended consequences.
A research team co-led by Cornell found that for schools without the resources to conduct learning analytics to help students succeed, modeling based on data from other institutions can work as well as local modeling, without sacrificing fairness.
Is artificial intelligence beginning to “understand” humor? In experiments using the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest as a testbed, researchers found that it’s making some progress, but isn’t quite there yet.
Students and lifelong learners are invited to explore a new interest, enhance their resume or strengthen their professional skills through Cornell’s Fall Part-Time Study Program, which runs Aug. 22 – Dec. 17, 2022. Registration for most students begins August 1.
A university committee has released recommendations for how faculty can take generative artificial intelligence into account when considering learning objectives for their students.
