UF Researchers Use AI To Predict New Coronavirus Variants
A new research grant led by University of Florida professors and is attempting to see if AI can help predict the next wave of coronavirus.
UF Helps Drive AI Education for Teens in Florida
AMBY, which stands for AI Made By You, was piloted this summer as a part of Camp DIALOGS, an NSF-funded project aimed at making artificial intelligence and computer science more accessible, particularly for students in lower-income areas. The camp is a joint effort between UF’s Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering and College of Education and aligns with the university’s integrated approach to AI.
AI Helps Detect Watermelon Disease Quickly, Accurately
If you savor a juicy watermelon in the scorching summer heat, Florida farmers toil to meet your tastes. The Sunshine State leads the nation in watermelon production.
But, like all farmers, those who produce watermelons seek ways to control diseases, so they don’t lose all or part of their crops. The needs of growers drive Yiannis Ampatzidis to use artificial intelligence to detect pathogens early and accurately.
How Florida Researchers Are Using UF’s Supercomputer
High-impact research is in full swing on the University of Florida’s powerful supercomputer, with faculty and students from across the State University System using HiPerGator — one of the smartest machines in the world — to advance critical work in areas including the environment, technology and medicine.
AI Micro-Credential Helps Working Professionals Boost Career Options
Micro-credentials have emerged as an ideal way for working professionals to become proficient in a specific area through short, non-credit courses that culminate in a competency-based badge. Earning a micro-credential helps fill knowledge gaps, especially for those in the workforce who have limited time and cannot commit to a semester or longer of learning. That said, now working professionals can gain their own competitive edge by adding an artificial intelligence (AI) micro-credential through the University of Florida’s Office of Professional and Workplace Development.
UF Partners With CIA on Improving Cybersecurity
The university and the CIA have entered an agreement to study how artificial intelligence and machine learning applications (AIML) can be used to detect and deter malicious agents that infiltrate computer networks. The work will be carried out by researchers associated with UF’s Florida Institute for National Security.
UF College of Medicine Offers New Artificial Intelligence Track for PhD Students
The newest group of Ph.D. candidates at the UF College of Medicine can now collaborate with some of the university’s preeminent researchers in artificial intelligence to become immersed in the burgeoning field during their graduate studies.
UF Researchers’ Artificial Intelligence Platform Accurately Predicts Surgical Complications
Complications after surgery can pose many challenges for both physicians and patients. Now, University of Florida researchers have confirmed their artificial intelligence system accurately helps doctors predict and manage these problems.
Confounding Pirates and Trojan Horses: AI Gatekeepers at UF Provide Innovative Tool for Industries Looking To Shut Down Bad Actors
Director of the Florida Institute for National Security and associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Dr. Woodard is leading a $1.2 million, three-year NSF research project to use artificial intelligence for the purpose of hardware security by developing an automated toolkit that will detect intellectual property and verify that the IC designs are exactly what they are supposed to be and not a piracy or sabotage.
Vobile Locates in Gainesville Innovation District Solidifying Collaboration With UF
Vobile, the worldwide leading Software-as-a-Service provider in digital content protection and monetization, announced on April 21 the opening of a new R&D and Operations Center in Gainesville, FL, home to more than 75,000 college students between the University of Florida and Santa Fe College. This strategic move is part of the company’s rapid growth initiatives. This is the first step in Vobile’s plan to create hundreds of jobs in Gainesville.
