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.
UF Researchers Use AI To Develop Precision Dosing for Treatment Aimed at Preventing Dementia
University of Florida researchers studying the use of a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment paired with cognitive training have found the therapy holds promise as an effective, drug-free approach for someday warding off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
AI Technique Reveals Dysfunctional Gut Microbiome Bacteria’s Role in Depression and High Blood Pressure
To solve the elusive medical mystery of why many adults have both high blood pressure and depression, University of Florida Health researchers took a long, in-depth look at one suspected culprit: gut bacteria.
From Yellowed Broccoli to Mushy Avocados: How UF Scientists Are Using AI To Cut Food Waste, Loss
If you have ever brought home seemingly fresh produce from the grocery store only to find it wilted and moldering a few days later, Tie Liu feels your pain. “Everybody has this problem: Which of these vegetables or fruits should I use first? Guess wrong, and you end up throwing out the food,” said Liu, a postharvest researcher and assistant professor in the UF/IFAS horticultural sciences department.
Mighty Battle: Artificial Intelligence Takes On the Two-Spotted Spider Mite
University of Florida scientists have developed a smartphone app to detect two-spotted spider mites. With quicker detection, the system would help growers get a leg up on the notorious plant pest for which most spray regularly.
UF Research Team Develops System That Could Provide Energy Resilience to Hurricanes, Natural Disasters
A team of researchers at the University of Florida has developed a system powered by solar energy that uses artificial intelligence to ultimately decrease the cost of keeping essential home appliances or devices running through a power outage.
AI May Help UF Researchers Identify Crop-Destroying Nematodes
Parasitic nematodes cause $125 billion in agricultural damage around the world each year, but University of Florida scientists hope to alleviate some of that destruction.
AI Model To Hasten Clinical Trials, Boost Medical Decision-Making, Thanks to UF Health, NVIDIA
Researchers with the University of Florida’s academic health center — UF Health — announced today that they have collaborated with NVIDIA researchers to create GatorTron™, an artificial intelligence transformer natural language processing model intended to accelerate research and medical decision-making by extracting insights from massive volumes of clinical data with unprecedented speed and clarity.
UF Researchers Use AI To Breed Tastier Strawberries
University of Florida researchers are showing artificial intelligence can help scientists breed more flavor into fruit.
Spring 2021 HiPerGator Symposium Highlights Artificial Intelligence Research
