Autonomous vehicles can struggle when confronted with unforeseen events, such as a car driving on the wrong side of the road. To address this issue, Professor Junshan Zhang is rethinking how researchers design AVs by letting the machine learning models train themselves.
Technologies like ChatGPT have brought the potential of artificial intelligence into public awareness unlike ever before. In the College of Engineering, researchers show all that AI can and can be by pushing the boundaries of its foundational design and use in medicine and agriculture.
Halfway through their four-year challenge to design and customize a next-generation electric vehicle, the student-led UC Davis EcoCAR team is at full throttle.
Robots. Laundry. Emergency care. At the University of California, Davis, Center for Spaceflight Research, these topics and more are investigated as they relate to human spaceflight. The multidisciplinary research center is poised to become the preeminent resource for human spaceflight engineering research in the U.S.
Authoritarian regimes exert control over the internet through transit networks that operate largely out of public view, according to a recent study by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work, published in PNAS Nexus, also shows how more sophisticated authoritarian regimes extend their influence by providing network access in poorer but politically similar countries.
As artificial intelligence gains momentum, University of California researchers are identifying discrimination in the algorithms that are shaping our society, devising solutions, and helping build a future where computers do us less harm and more good.
Researchers at the UC Davis Coffee Center in the College of Engineering, through a partnership with cloud service provider Fabscale, have engineered a new way to analyze coffee for quality control, at a low cost. Their new photo-based app Roastpic is launching on April 12 to give anyone with a smartphone a better picture of the quality of their coffee beans.
As machine learning and artificial intelligence become more involved with decision-making, Professor Ian Davidson is on a quest to integrate fairness into human-AI systems.
Artificial intelligence models can now build and train new models with minimal human intervention thanks to a collaborative project spearheaded by Silicon Valley-based startup Aizip and its co-founder Yubei Chen, an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis.
A multidisciplinary research team in communication and computer science at the University of California, Davis, performed a systematic audit of YouTube’s video recommendations in 2021 and 2022. They tested how a person’s ideological leaning might affect what videos YouTube’s algorithms recommend to them.
