With artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT rapidly gaining traction among students and teachers alike, it’s no surprise the topic took center focus at NJIT’s 8th Annual STEM Forum for School Leaders, “Leading the Digital Transformation in Our Schools.”
Distinguished Professors David Bader and Guiling “Grace” Wang and Professors Cristian Borcea and Vincent Oria in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) served as part of Governor Phil Murphy’s AI Task Force for the state of New Jersey, a team comprised of industry leaders, academic experts, consumer advocates, and government innovators tasked with establishing programs, trainings and tools that advance the state’s leadership in AI.
Potentially deadly mathematical errors are prevalent among mobile applications used in clinical and emergency room settings, but a team of researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology's Ying Wu College of Computing has found provable solutions that may save lives.
Ph.D. candidates Nhi N Nguyen, Mahmoud Nazzal and Khiem Ton recently presented two papers at the 31st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security (CCS 2024) that could aid future breakthroughs in improving the trustworthiness of Large Language Models (LLMs) when generating code. The research has the potential to be a game changer in the use of generative AI for many sectors of industry and academia, especially software development.
Coders, more than most people, spend hours upon hours clacking away at their keyboards, so they’re prime candidates for an invention that helps improve your posture — and so TheBackPak won this year’s edition of HackNJIT, earning $1,500 for its student developers.
Angel Cazares, an S-STEM scholar and president of the Hispanic and Latin Association of Computing College Students (HACCS) at NJIT, has been awarded the distinguished 2024 eBay HSI Battle of the Brains Scholarship. This recognition celebrates Cazares' academic dedication and leadership in technology and innovation, marking a significant milestone in his journey and reinforcing NJIT’s growing reputation for developing young leaders and problem-solvers.
Members of NJIT’s undergraduate and graduate Women in Computing Society groups attending the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) 2024 in Philadelphia took full advantage of opportunities for professional development, networking and industry insights that support their growth in technology fields.
An NJIT computational research team made impressive strides at the Princeton FlyWire Codex Data Challenge. Teams were tasked to solve a highly complex problem: analyzing the intricate network of neurons in the brain of a Drosophila melanogaster — commonly known as the fruit fly. Teams had to treat this neural network as a massive, interconnected graph and work to determine the best possible ordering of neurons. The goal was to maximize the efficiency of the brain's neural pathways, creating an optimal flow of information within this tiny but surprisingly complex system.
The NJIT Secure Computing Initiative (SCI), funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF), has selected seven high-caliber students to join the fall 2024 cohort of the elite CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service Program (SFS).
Expert panelists took a measured tone about the trends, challenges and ethics of artificial intelligence, at a campus forum organized by NJIT’s Institute for Data Science this month.
