When genetic testing reveals a rare DNA mutation, doctors and patients are frequently left in the dark about what it actually means. Now, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a powerful new way to determine whether a patient with a mutation is likely to actually develop disease, a concept […]

Training with automated data pipeline Voyager builds on Tencent’s earlier HunyuanWorld 1.0, released in July. Voyager is also part of Tencent’s broader “Hunyuan” ecosystem, which includes the Hunyuan3D-2 model for text-to-3D generation and the previously coveredHunyuanVideo for video synthesis. To train Voyager, researchers developed software that automatically analyzes existing videos to process camera movements and

The U.S. National Science Foundation today announced a new solicitation to establish a National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Operations Center (NAIRR-OC). This marks a critical, initial step in transitioning the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) from a successful pilot to laying the foundations for a sustainable, coordinated national program that will advance U.S. research capabilities

The National Science Foundation plans to award up to $35 million to establish an operations center for its National AI Research Resource, signaling a step toward the pilot becoming a more permanent program. Despite bipartisan support for the NAIRR, Congress has yet to authorize a full-scale version of the resource designed to democratize access to

In the last few years, the quest to build so-called Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), an undefined system which seemingly can do any task under any circumstance, has captured the public’s imagination. Those whose mission has been to build this system, like the leaders of OpenAI, Anthropic, Deepmind and others, discuss the utopia that will imminently

In a move that could reshape drug discovery, researchers at Harvard Medical School have designed an artificial intelligence model capable of identifying treatments that reverse disease states in cells. Unlike traditional approaches that typically test one protein target or drug at a time in hopes of identifying an effective treatment, the new model, called PDGrapher

Researchers across campus are leading the way. At the College of Arts and Sciences’ computer science department, faculty and students specialize in groundbreaking areas like natural language processing, computer vision, multimodal AI, machine learning and more. Carolina students can now pursue a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts in data science thanks to

Corey Brozina, associate professor and associate director of the Rayen School of Engineering, has received his fourth National Science Foundation grant. His achievement comes in a funding landscape where less than 12 percent of NSF applications nationwide are approved. With this latest award, Brozina has now secured roughly $1.6 million in NSF funding, including the
