Artificial Intelligence
Fellows of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence are recognized for making long‑term, impactful contributions to the discipline, typically spanning a decade or more.
Vishal Misra discusses his latest research on how LLMs work under the hood and explains what's actually required for AGI: the ability to keep learning after training and the shift from pattern matching to understanding cause and effect.
On the a16z AI podcast, Professor Vishal Misra discusses whether LLMs can go beyond modeling human language to make new discoveries and move the needle on scientific progress.
About
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the development of systems that exhibit behavior typically associated with human cognition, such as perceiving, learning, communicating, reasoning, making decisions, and acting in a physical and social environment. AI research at Columbia CS focuses on machine learning, natural language and speech processing, computer vision, robotics, and security.
AI researchers collaborate widely within the university and beyond, contributing to applications in medicine, public safety, law, journalism, and other areas. Some AI faculty are cross-listed with the Statistics department, Electrical Engineering department, and the Data Science Institute.
