Matt Weinberg, an expert in economics and computation, sees decentralization as a tool, rather than an objective.

A startup cofounded by Felix Heide has been acquired by Torc. Heide’s technology will start being used in operational autonomous test trucks in the not-too-distant-future.

5G communications’ superfast download speeds rely on the high frequencies that drive the transmissions. But the highest frequencies come with a tradeoff.

Yuri Pritykin, an expert in genomics and computational biology, has received the National Science Foundation’s CAREER award, a top honor for early-career faculty.

Christopher Moretti and Matt Weinberg were recognized yesterday at the annual School of Engineering and Applied Science Excellence in Teaching Awards.

The Sloan Foundation has announced that Felix Heide, an expert in computer vision, and Anirudha Majumdar, an expert in robotics, have been selected as 2023 Sloan Research Fellows in computer science.

For artificial intelligence to realize its potential — to relieve humans from mundane tasks, make life easier, and eventually invent entirely new solutions to our problems — computers will need to surpass us at two things that we humans do pretty well: see the world around us and understand our language.

Exploring a new way to teach robots, Princeton researchers have found that human-language descriptions of tools can accelerate the learning of a simulated robotic arm lifting and using a variety of tools.

For Ruth Fong, the fundamental appeal of computer science lies in its creativity. “To be able to program,” she said, “is to be able to create and be creative.”

Computer scientists at Princeton have found a new technique for making deep neural networks faster, more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

Jennifer Rexford, the Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor in Engineering, professor and department chair in computer science, and a 1991 graduate of the University, has been named Princeton’s provost. Her appointment will take effect on March 13.

Danqi Chen has been named a 2022 Samsung AI Researcher of the Year for her work on natural language processing and machine learning.
