Is it harder to choose between four flavours of jam, or two different electricity plans?
A negative environment dissuades many women engineering students from staying in the field. Can colleges and universities do anything to reverse the trend?
A digital twin is to a computer model as live video is to a still photo. These virtual replicas can be used to understand and make predictions about a wide range of complex systems, including people.
Without university-level programs to provide teacher training for advanced computer science, states will not be able to offer high-quality computer science education to all students.
New research has found what may be language in electrical impulses transmitted between mushrooms.
This sort of precision complements health experts’ efforts, helping humans to be more precise and communicate more precisely.
The ability to store information is central to learning and the field of artificial intelligence. Researchers have shown how a unique material shows basic learning properties similar to that of slugs.
Could it be that girls aren’t pursuing jobs in computer science and engineering because society has told them that’s not what they want to do? Three scholars weigh in.
When Beethoven died, all he left behind were some sketches for his 10th Symphony. Now, thanks to the help of artificial intelligence, the composer’s vision is coming to life.
Undergraduate programs are springing up across the US to meet the burgeoning demand for workers trained in big data. Yet many of the programs lack training in the ethical use of data science.
Computational modeling can predict language therapy response in bilingual people with aphasia. In the future, this could help clinicians identify the best language for treatment.
Pro sports teams use big data to win big. It’s time for colleges to get students in on the action, a computer science professor argues.
AI algorithms can solve hard problems and learn incredible tasks, but they can’t explain how they do these things. If researchers can build explainable AI, it could lead to a flood of new knowledge.
Racial disparities in the tech sector begin well before college.
A strong identity as a scientist is crucial for girls to succeed in STEM fields such as computer science. Are educators recognizing and rewarding the right behaviors?
The gender gap in computing performance has dramatically narrowed, but a confidence gap remains.
GPT-3 is the biggest, most creative language generation program to date. But with awesome power comes awesome responsibility.
Diversifying leadership can change organizational cultures, which removes barriers to women in the tech industry and academia.
Many more people have been infected with coronavirus than the statistics suggest.
