New AI System Reshapes Understanding of Bird Wing Evolution
Assistant Professor Christina Harvey's aerodynamic expertise and development of a proxy metric to estimate the pitch agility of birds have contributed to an AI system that automatically identifies and measures bird bones from photographs. A collaborative study using this system has observed that birds in warmer climates have longer limbs.
Federally Funded Open Source Software Project Crucial to World Infrastructure
In a recent Labs to Lives video, Professor of Computer Science Vladimir Filkov details his multidisciplinary NSF-funded initiative, which develops AI algorithms and software analysis tools to help open-source software projects stay on sustainable trajectories. These projects are an integral part of innovation in the digital landscape.
