The Future Is Now – UF Design, Construction and Planning Department Is Developing AI Curriculum for Faculty and Students
On a hot, muggy morning in July 2020, University of Florida President Kent Fuchs announced an astonishing $70 million public-private partnership between UF and NVIDIA, thus making artificial intelligence (AI) the centerpiece of a major, long-term initiative combining world-class research infrastructure, cutting-edge analysis and a revolutionary approach to curriculum.
UF Scientists Use AI To Try to More Accurately Predict Citrus Yield
University of Florida researchers are using artificial intelligence to help citrus growers better forecast their seasonal production. So far, they’ve found in a preliminary study that their technology predicts yields with 98 percent accuracy.
UF Research Provides Insight to Equine Metabolic Syndrome
Equine metabolic syndrome, a common equine condition, often proves difficult for veterinarians to diagnose and treat. Recent UF/IFAS research into genetic factors contributing to the disease provides guidance on how to manage horses so owners can prevent the disease.
Computing Power Is the Key to Analyzing a Changing Environment
Robert Guralnick, the biodiversity informatics curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History, says data science approaches, particularly machine learning, can help with the critical challenge of extracting the best data generated by an ever-more-closely monitored environment and using it to save global biodiversity.
UF/IFAS Researchers Explain Science Behind Genetically Modified Mosquitoes
South Florida residents seeking science-based information about genetically modified mosquitoes can access a new, online resource from University of Florida scientists at the UF/IFAS Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory.
Artificial Intelligence Can Combat Deepfakes, Cybercrimes and Snooping
University of Florida researcher Damon Woodard is using artificial intelligence methods to develop algorithms that can detect deepfakes — images, text, video and audio that purports to be real but isn’t. These algorithms, Woodard says, are better at detecting deepfakes than humans.
FDA Includes UF Researcher As Advisory Board Considers Gene Therapy Risks
FDA's Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies Advisory Committee experts prepare for a two-day meeting to talk about high-dose that gene therapy developers and investigators are allowed to give patients in each trial.
UF Health Neurosurgeon Awarded $38 Million Grant To Lead National Stroke Prevention Trial
The National Institutes of Health awarded a $38 million, five-year grant to Brian Hoh, M.D., M.B.A., the University of Florida’s chair of neurosurgery, to test two new prospective treatments for symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, a leading cause of ischemic stroke worldwide.
Vital Signs: Leveraging Data for Better Health Outcomes
UF's Azra Bihorac says one of the most important collaborations for doctors and nurses in the future will be with the computer at a patient’s bedside.
Computing Power and Data Drive Artificial Intelligence Advances
Although data has been called the new oil, a precious resource, finding the relevant in the midst of the irrelevant is a task too big for mere mortals. It takes supercomputing, says University of Florida research computing director Erik Deumens, to turn data into knowledge.
