We are thrilled to highlight the achievements of one of our graduate students at the Data Science Institute, Rio Jia. Rio has made significant contributions to an Augmented Reality (AR) Art project in collaboration with the FRIST Center for Autism & Innovation and Dr. Kendra H. Oliver. Dr. Oliver… Read More

Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Basic Sciences recently established the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence in Protein Dynamics, led by Hassane Mchaourab, to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and macromolecular mechanisms to understand protein structures and their functions in the human body. The center’s research aims… Read More

The Data Science Institute welcomed women who are leading the way in data science at our annual Women in Data Science (WiDS) conference on March 7. The conference was an opportunity for women in data science to connect, network and learn from other women in the field. Read More

Multilingual large language models have demonstrated strong performance in natural language processing tasks. In this discussion, we explore how these transformer-based models might be used to support language instruction. In the current case study, we’ll examine possible uses of these models to support instruction in Hindi. Might these models be… Read More

Friday, September 30 at 1:00pm the Data Science Institute will host Prof. Sasha Key in a discussion of applying transformer deep learning models to the problem of analyzing multichannel EEG in response to multiple stimulus/recording conditions (e.g., faces vs. objects, speech vs. nonspeech, attend vs. ignore, etc.). Transformers are powerful… Read More
