A team of Cornell students has won a grant from NASA’s University Student Research Challenge for a proposed sensor that can help 3D printers build better, more reliable products. To collect the prize, the team is now crowdfunding a cost-share required by NASA.
The annual Cornell Day of Data, this year a two-day virtual event, Jan. 27-28, brings together professors, researchers and students from across the university to share techniques, tools and insights in working with data.
Cornell researchers in natural language processing have found that the word lists packaged and shared amongst researchers to measure for bias in online texts oftentimes carry words, or “seeds,” with baked-in biases and stereotypes, which could skew findings.
Cornell is partnering in a $36 million grant from the Toyota Research Institute for its Accelerated Materials Design and Discovery collaborative university research program, which seeks to use artificial intelligence to discover new materials that could help achieve emissions-free driving.
The weeklong summer workshop aims to inspire underrepresented students to pursue graduate studies in tech fields such as computing and information science.
A Cornell Tech clinic has created a new approach to helping survivors of domestic abuse stop assailants from hacking into their devices and social media to surveil and harass them.
Cheng Zhang, assistant professor of information science, and doctoral student Ruidong Zhang have developed a silent-speech recognition device, SpeeChin, that can identify silent commands using images of skin deformation in the neck and face.
Cornell Tech researchers have developed a mixed-reality driving simulator system that could lower the cost of testing vehicle systems and interfaces, such as the turn signal and dashboard.
Exotanium, a software startup founded by Cornell researchers and based on technology licensed through Cornell’s Center for Technology Licensing, completed a $5 million seed funding round. Its cloud-optimization tools help companies reduce wasteful spending on cloud storage.
