Published AI identifies social bias trends in Bollywood, Hollywood movies


An automated computer analysis method designed by Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists makes it possible to track social biases across decades of Bollywood and Hollywood movies.
Published To find the right network model, compare all possible histories


Scientists rarely have the historical data they need to see exactly how nodes in a network became connected. But a new article offers hope for reconstructing the missing information, using a new method to evaluate the rules that generate network models.
Published Like adults, children by age 3 prefer seeing fractal patterns


By the time children are 3 years old they already have an adult-like preference for visual fractal patterns commonly seen in nature, according to researchers.
Published New computational method validates images without 'ground truth'


Researchers have developed a computational method that allows them to determine not if an entire imaging picture is accurate, but if any given point on the image is probable, based on the assumptions built into the model.
Published COVID-19 'super-spreading' events play outsized role in overall disease transmission



Researchers find COVID-19 super-spreading events, in which one person infects more than six other people, are much more frequent than anticipated, and that they have an outsized contribution to coronavirus transmission.
Published Researchers discover a uniquely quantum effect in erasing information



Researchers have discovered a uniquely quantum effect in erasing information that may have significant implications for the design of quantum computing chips. Their surprising discovery brings back to life the paradoxical 'Maxwell's demo', which has tormented physicists for over 150 years.
