Being overly positive about new tech is a type of response bias – a hazard of all studies involving people, where participants give less than accurate reactions, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Computing-related retraumatization can be lessened or avoided in a few low- or no-cost ways, according to research co-led by Nicola Dell and Tom Ristenpart of Cornell Tech and the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science.
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.
An alternative statistical method honed and advanced by Cornell researchers can make clinical trials more reliable and trustworthy while also helping to remedy what has been called a “replicability crisis” in the scientific community.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The weeklong summer workshop aims to inspire underrepresented students to pursue graduate studies in tech fields such as computing and information science.
