New Demoshop software, created by roboticists in the Intuitive Computing Laboratory, makes it easier to teach robots to help in the workplace.

Vladimir Braverman, an associate professor and member of JHU’s Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science, and Alan Liu, PhD ’18, developed a new strategy for managing website traffic that has been adopted by the Intel software stack.

Interactive online platform allows users to simulate how different public health measures might affect COVID-19 infection outcomes in a typical Midwestern town of about 6,000 people.

  They say that what you see is what you get. But is it really? Computer science and cognitive science double major Shreya Wadhwa wants to find out. Supported by a Provost’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA), the second year student is exploring whether cognitive science applications can be used to train the human eye to…

  Maternal smoking has consistently been linked to low baby birthweight. Using a Provost’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA), Richard Xu, a computer science and molecular and cellular biology double major, is trying to find out how the fetus’s genome and epigenome interact to affect birthweight when pregnant women smoke. “Given that the genome and epigenome…

  You probably missed it, but 2012 was a momentous year for the tomato. That spring, the Tomato Genome Consortium announced that it had, for the first time, sequenced an entire tomato genome. The undertaking required a massive and complex effort, one that involved more than 300 scientists from 14 countries working collaboratively for almost…

Suchi Saria, John C. Malone Assistant professor of computer science, and a team of researchers, provide a roadmap to accelerate safe, ethically responsible applications of machine learning in healthcare in recent paper published in Nature Medicine. “Many groups are publishing papers using data to show potential, but in order to see actual benefits in patient…

For many online consumers, convenience and speed can make or break a purchase. A recent study by Imperva Incapsula reported that seven percent of online consumers said the web page must load immediately or they lose interest in the purchase. Thirty-five percent said they’d wait between three and five seconds. A site that takes more…

With a $1.5 million award from the National Science Foundation, Johns Hopkins computer scientists will explore how human-machine teaming can help mitigate some of the biggest problems facing the U.S health care system.
