Machine learning (ML) is being deployed to a vast array of real-world applications with profound impacts on society. ML can have positive impacts, such as aiding in the discovery of new cures for…

Two-dimensional human pose estimation is a challenging task, where the goal is to localize key anatomical landmarks (e.g. elbows, knees, shoulders), given an image of a person in some pose. Current…

In baseball, the goal of the pitcher is to prevent runs. To do so, they must make it difficult for the batter to hit the ball. There are a variety of techniques and methods the pitcher can use to…

For individuals with health limitations, machine learning provides a powerful way to create more useful accessibility software. Voice controlled accessibility software is one such example that allows…

Judging in diving is supposed to be as objective as possible and fairly account for all phases of a dive: start, take-off, flight, and entry. However, in practice, it is a commonly held belief among…

As Mark Twain once said, ”History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Despite growing at around 9% on average since 1900, the SP500 index has gone through many cycles. In…

Digital humanities is at the interface between humanistic studies and computational power. Hence, when building tools in this space, we need to consider, firstly, the humanities scholar who desires…

Urban tree cover is important for human health, wellbeing, and environmental sustainability. However, we have a limited understanding of tree cover distributions and dynamics, and their social and…

Heliconius butterflies, a genus of butterfly that lives in South America, exhibit Mullerian mimicry, a type of mimicry in which toxic unrelated species evolve to share warning signals to teach and…

Though hurricanes are some of the most destructive natural disasters, with the frequency of intense and damaging hurricanes increasing due to climate change, current estimates of damages from…

Accurately assessing the shape, size, and modality of features in rock samples is a longstanding problem in geology. Recent advances in machine learning have made it possible to improve upon point…

Most systems have multiple objectives and constraints. For example, a company making a smartphone needs to increase the battery life, minimize the lag, and maximize the bandwidth. Solutions to these…

We modelled the material lead titanate based on the underlying quantum mechanics of our world with the help of machine learning. Our approach depicted the lead titanate with accurate details like a…

Research on machine learning (ML) algorithms, as well as on their ethical impacts, has focused largely on mathematical or computational questions. However, for algorithmic systems to be useful,…

In response to growing concerns of bias, discrimination, and unfairness perpetuated by algorithmic systems, the datasets used to train and evaluate machine learning models have come under…
