Karan Singh, a doctoral student in computer science, is among four winners of the Porter Ogden Jacobus Fellowship, Princeton University’s top honor for graduate students.

Addressing problems of bias in artificial intelligence, computer scientists from Princeton and Stanford University have developed methods to obtain fairer data sets containing images of people. The researchers propose improvements to ImageNet, a database of more than 14 million images that has played a key role in advancing computer vision over the past decade.

S. Matthew Weinberg, along with two other Princeton faculty members, is among the 126 researchers from more than 60 research institutions in the United States and Canada named as 2020 Sloan Research Fellows.

The discovery involves areas of DNA that do not directly code for the proteins that carry out cellular activities, but instead control how genes are switched on and off. Scientists have long understood that these noncoding regions play an important role in cancer, but describing that role has been formidably difficult.

Hidden beneath our everyday world — on the infinitesimal scale of atomic and subatomic particles — is a strange and elusive realm. It is a Lewis Carroll-like place where ghostly particles pop in and out of existence, swirling electrons occupy two positions at once, and objects possess dual natures — they can be both waves and particles simultaneously.

Princeton computer science professors Michael Freedman and Mona Singh have been named fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery in recognition of their significant contribution to computing and information technology.

At 12, Tom Griffiths was slaying dragons, a task not so different, as it happens, from his current role as a professor of psychology and computer science at Princeton. That’s not to say his colleagues or — heaven forbid — his students behave like dragons.

Danqi Chen stands at the intersection of machine learning and everyday language, and she is paving a fast lane toward a long-sought goal: opening the full expanse of human knowledge to computers that can think like people do — or maybe better.

International agreements and coordinated diplomatic pressures will be essential in avoiding indiscriminate use of artificial intelligence in lethal military conflicts, retired Gen. John R. Allen told an audience at Princeton University on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

The Siebel Scholars Foundation has awarded Siebel Scholars fellowships to five Princeton University graduate students in computer science.

Four portraits that capture the broad diversity of Princeton University’s distinguished graduates and pioneers were unveiled Sept. 20 in a ceremony held at Chancellor Green.
