Vanderbilt researchers have developed an active machine learning approach to predict the effects of tumor variants of unknown significance, or VUS, on sensitivity to chemotherapy. Characterizing VUS can maximize clinical care and precision medicine for each patient. Read More

  A team of Vanderbilt computer scientists, working in collaboration with Google Research and a global aid organization, HelpMum, received top honors in the “social good” category for a paper describing a new tool designed to optimize childhood health and wellness in Nigeria at the 2022 International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization (IJCAI). Institute... Read More

Biomedical researchers with expertise in data science will discuss the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on biomedical research, how it is being used for new and paradigm-shifting discoveries, as well as ethical concerns on Tuesday, May 24, from noon to 1 p.m. CT. Read More

To shoot a basketball with precision requires countless hours of practice, usually under the watchful eye of a coach providing guidance on the right mechanics of each shot. Now, thanks to new research from Vanderbilt University, players may soon be able to use artificial intelligence technology to work on those same principles on their own.  Read More

Do you have data you’d like to use but aren’t quite sure how to make the most of it? Running into issues with your models, data or analytical approach and spinning your wheels about what to do? Join the Data Science Institute for "AI Fridays" from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting Feb. 25. Read More

Soheil Kolouri, assistant professor of computer science, is part of a team that has received a $1 million award from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of the agency’s Shared-Experience Lifelong Learning initiative. Read More

The increased opportunities and new capabilities available to informaticists has led Vanderbilt School of Nursing to completely revise its nursing informatics master’s program. Graduate students study the latest techniques and tools for data analysis, detecting health patterns among large populations and exploring new developments in health technology. Read More

A Vanderbilt engineering professor is leading part of an international initiative to create advanced artificial intelligence programs that will enable machines to learn progressively over a lifetime and share those experiences with each other. Researchers hope the technology will allow machines to reuse information, adapt quickly to new conditions and collaborate by sharing information. Read More

Learn about artificial intelligence and how developing a “digital twin” for the heart has improved human health during the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering annual symposium on Dec. 15. Read More

Vanderbilt researchers used a machine learning algorithm and data from more than 26,000 hospital stays to predict who would and would not be discharged over the next 24 hours. Read More

Partnering with Microsoft and leading biologists, epidemiologists, public health experts and computer scientists, Vanderbilt’s Janos Sztipanovits will lead a $5 million cooperative agreement to create a data and AI platform that detects and predicts emerging public health threats. Read More

A team of engineers led by Dan Work, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, has developed an assistive technology to help drivers maintain "the two-second rule," taught in driver’s ed classes across the country, to smooth out traffic jams and improve safety. Read More

Dan Work, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, is leading the technical element in collaboration with Vanderbilt, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and transportation consulting firm Gresham Smith to build the smartest roadway in the world along a six-mile stretch of Tennessee's Interstate 24.
