They may be more akin to learning a language, but conversation-based assessments are now making their way into a range of university science disciplines, and they鈥檙e proving a valuable alternative to the traditional exam.
Bo偶ena Kostek from Gda艅sk University of Technology is exploring how speech-to-text programs can be better used in the medical field. By studying how clear speech affects STT accuracy, she hopes to improve its usefulness for health care professionals. A detailed audio dataset was created with Polish medical terms spoken by doctors and specialists in areas like cardiology and pulmonology. This dataset was analyzed using an Automatic Speech Recognition model for transcription, and several metrics were used to evaluate the quality of the speech recognition.
Marking a bold step in its transformation into a global research powerhouse, NYU Tandon School of Engineering welcomes Jeffrey Hubbell, a world-renowned chemical engineer and member of four National Academies, to spearhead an ambitious agenda integrating engineering, the sciences, and medicine, to advance healthcare innovation.
As a third grader, Tahira Reid Smith 鈥�00, 鈥�04, Ph.D., was already thinking like an inventor.聽So, when her school, PS 97 in the Bronx, New York, held a poster contest where students were asked to depict something each of them wished he or she had, she didn鈥檛 draw a typical childhood fantasy. She designed a machine.聽Like many children in the Bronx, Reid Smith loved playing double Dutch.

New material production technology enhances advanced materials manufacturing for harsh environments
In a recent paper, UW research professor describes a troubling experience asking an AI chatbot for medical information. Optimists believe artificial intelligence could help solve those problems, but the bots might not be ready for prime time.
Recent research by Joseph Vignola at the Catholic University of America is revolutionizing fresco assessment. Vignola and his team have applied laser Doppler vibrometry to locate delamination in the frescos of Constantino Brumidi in the U.S. Capitol building.
As director of the Division of Thoracic Surgery in the Jim and Eleanor Randall Department of Surgery at Cedars-Sinai, Harmik J. Soukiasian, MD, and his colleagues are on the forefront of surgical innovations for patients with early-stage lung cancer.
A consortium of 13 national laboratories and universities aims to develop high-energy, long-lasting sodium-ion batteries that are made from inexpensive, abundant materials and reduce U.S. reliance on critical elements used in electric-vehicle batteries.
Implementation is part of the University鈥檚 continued effort to adopt cutting-edge technology on its campuses, including food delivery robots and Just Walk Out technology.
Digital Science is pleased to announce its continued support of the APE Award for Innovation in Scholarly Communication, which is currently open for applications.
The FAU College of Engineering and Computer Science recently welcomed Arslan Munir, Ph.D., an internationally renowned expert, researcher and pioneer in advanced computing and smart technologies who has made numerous contributions to the fields of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and intelligent systems.
Researchers tested new nanoink and printing technologies on the "roller coaster" of NASA microgravity flights. They demonstrated that electronic circuits can be printed in zero gravity -- potentially leading to electronic repairs or manufacturing in space.
Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) developed a smart monitoring system that applies digital sensing technology to maintain and manage small- and medium-sized aging bridges.
Dr. Hyang-Tag Lim's research team at the KIST has implemented a quantum computing algorithm that can estimate interatomic bond distances and ground state energies with chemical accuracy using fewer resources than conventional methods, and has succeeded in performing accurate calculations without the need for additional quantum error mitigation techniques.
Algorithms that can detect subtle changes in a person鈥檚 voice are emerging as a potential new diagnostic tool for Parkinson鈥檚 disease, according to researchers from Iraq and Australia.
Trust between humans and robots is improved when the movement between both is harmonised, researchers have discovered.
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
