The recent explosion of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot have supercharged the assistance available to programmers. However, AI assistants may strip out comments embedded in code to convey copyright and attribution guidelines, leaving human coders none the wiser yet still on the hook legally for intellectual property infringement.The recent explosion of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot have supercharged the assistance available to programmers.

Algorithms underpin large and small decisions on a massive scale every day: who gets screened for diseases like diabetes, who receives a kidney transplant, how police resources are allocated, who sees ads for housing or employment, how recidivism rates are calculated, and so on. Under the right circumstances, algorithms—procedures used for solving a problem or performing a computation—can improve the efficiency and equity of human decision-making.Algorithms underpin large and small decisions on a massive scale every day: who gets screened for diseases like diabetes, who receives a kidney transplant, how police resources are allocated, who sees ads for housing or employment, how recidivism rates are calculated, and so on.

People solve new problems readily without any special training or practice by comparing them to familiar problems and extending the solution to the new problem. That process, known as analogical reasoning, has long been thought to be a uniquely human ability.People solve new problems readily without any special training or practice by comparing them to familiar problems and extending the solution to the new problem.

Model checking is one of the most successful computer science achievements in the last few decades. This is why Edmund M. Clarke, E. Allen Emerson, and Joseph Sifakis were honored with the 2007 A.M. Turing Award for their role in developing model checking into a highly effective verification technology.Model checking is one of the most successful computer science achievements in the last few decades.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have shown that computer vision systems can more easily detect objects in motion—like a car driving down the street or a person walking in a crosswalk—than stationary objects.Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute have shown that computer vision systems can more easily detect objects in motion—like a car driving down the street or a person walking in a crosswalk—than stationary objects.[#item_full_content]

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new method to significantly improve the effectiveness of machine learning models searching for new molecular therapeutics when using just a fraction of the available data. By working with an algorithm that actively identifies gaps in datasets, researchers can, in some cases, more than double their accuracy.Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new method to significantly improve the effectiveness of machine learning models searching for new molecular therapeutics when using just a fraction of the available data.

With over 86 billion neurons, each having the ability to form up to 10,000 synapses with other neurons, the human brain gives rise to an exceptionally complex network of connections that underlie the proliferation of intelligence.With over 86 billion neurons, each having the ability to form up to 10,000 synapses with other neurons, the human brain gives rise to an exceptionally complex network of connections that underlie the proliferation of intelligence.[#item_full_content]

Published recently in Nature Machine Intelligence, research addressed the limited availability of human annotated, or labeled, medical images by using an adversarial, or competitive, learning approach against unlabeled data.Published recently in Nature Machine Intelligence, research addressed the limited availability of human annotated, or labeled, medical images by using an adversarial, or competitive, learning approach against unlabeled data.[#item_full_content]

OpenAI’s widely celebrated large language model has been hailed as “quite simply the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public” by Kevin Roose, author of “Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation” and as “one of the greatest things that has ever been done for computing” by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.OpenAI’s widely celebrated large language model has been hailed as “quite simply the best artificial intelligence chatbot ever released to the general public” by Kevin Roose, author of “Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation” and as “one of the greatest things that has ever been done for computing” by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.[#item_full_content]

A team of computer scientists and designers based out of the University of Waterloo have developed a tool to help people use color better in graphic design. The research paper, “Facilitating Graphics Design with Interactive 2D Color Palette Recommendation,” was published in Proceedings of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI ’23), April 23-28, Hamburg, Germany.A team of computer scientists and designers based out of the University of Waterloo have developed a tool to help people use color better in graphic design.
