Artificial Intelligence
The Columbia Engineering AI Demo Session held Mar. 4 in Carleton Commons showcased innovations in computer vision, robotics, sensing, and sustainability.
Brian Smith and Carl Vondrick discuss how their research with the Center for Smart Streetscapes (CS3) solves real-world challenges.
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.
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.
