The MIT Media Lab spinout Learning Beautiful develops learning materials that encourage kids to explore computer science concepts through physical learning.

Artificial Neural Networks have reached ‘Grandmaster’ and even ‘super-human’ performance’ across a variety of games, from those involving perfect-information, such as Go ((Silver et al. (2016)); to those involving imperfect-information, such as ‘Starcraft’ (Vinyals et al. (2019)). Such technological developments from AI-labs have ushered concomitant applications across the world of business, where an ‘AI’ brand-tag is fast becoming ubiquitous. A corollary of such widespread com...

Personal sensing data could help monitor and alleviate stress among resident physicians, although privacy concerns over who sees the information and for what purposes must be addressed, according to collaborative research from Cornell Tech.

As a worldwide epidemic in the digital age, cyberbullying is a pertinent but understudied concern—especially from the perspective of language. Elucidating the linguistic features of cyberbullying is critical both to preventing it and to cultivating ethical and responsible digital citizens. In this study, a mixed-method approach integrating lexical feature analysis, sentiment polarity analysis, and semantic network analysis was adopted to develop a deeper understanding of cyberbullying language...

A new study has found the size and structure of hunter-gatherer societies follows similar patterns to those used by computer networks for efficient flow of information.
