Using a new strategy called superhuman imitation learning, Sanjiban Choudhury, assistant professor of computer science, aims to train home robots more efficiently.
Throughout history, sonar’s distinctive “ping” has been used to map oceans, spot enemy submarines and find sunken ships. Today, a variation of that technology – in miniature form, developed by Cornell researchers – is proving a game-changer in wearable body-sensing technology.
After an exciting summer of research, students from the Cornell Bowers CIS BURE program shared their results with faculty, mentors, and fellow students.
Researchers have demonstrated the use of artificial-intelligence-selected natural images and AI-generated synthetic images as neuroscientific tools for probing the visual processing areas of the brain.
This second round of grants from the five-year, multimillion-dollar partnership will fund high-impact research on topics ranging from large language models and recommender systems to dynamic information retrieval and algorithmic fairness.
The new additions have expertise in a broad range of computing and information science fields and will shape the next generation of tech leaders and innovators.
Researchers from Cornell and Brown University have developed a souped-up telepresence robot that responds automatically and in real-time to a remote user’s movements and gestures made in virtual reality.
