English bias in computing: Images to the rescue

Training sets for Machine Learning are normally created in English. This introduces cultural bias. A new image-grounded benchmark developed by researchers from the University of Copenhagen enables a more diverse…

Let your mind control the computer

With electric signals from human brains as the only input, new software can perform computerized image editing. This marks a new paradigm in artificial intelligence.

Niels Bohr Archive and Department of Science Education welcome Richard Staley

Professor Staley is pursuing projects on climate change and the history of AI as well as the making of modern physics

New research to detect glaucoma timely

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen receives a grant to launch a project to identify early signs of eye diseases before they develop in the patient.

Artificial intelligence favours white men under 40

Publicly available language models of the sort used for everything from Google and Siri, to insurance and legal casework systematically favour the language of young white men. At the same time, they discriminate in…

Using artificial intelligence to fingerprint suspicious proteins

An artificial intelligence tool created by researchers at the University of Copenhagen can quickly and accurately identify suspicious or particularly 'talented' proteins in our bodies based upon their movements alone.…

How bird’s species made new Professor Serge Belongie world-famous within Computer Vision

New Professor at the Department of Computer Science, Serge Belongie, recently moved from New York to Copenhagen to take Danish AI research to new heights.

Algorithm reveals the mysterious foraging habits of narwhals

An algorithm can predict when narwhals hunt – a task once nearly impossible to gain insight into. Mathematicians and computer scientists at the University of Copenhagen, together with marine biologists in Greenland, hav…

Researchers’ algorithm to make CRISPR gene editing more precise

Researchers from Aarhus University and University of Copenhagen have developed a new method, which makes CRISPR gene editing more precise than conventional methods.

Artificial intelligence enhances efficacy of sleep disorder treatments

An algorithm based on 20,000 nights of sleep that can improve the diagnosis, treatment and our overall understanding of sleep disorders has been developed at the University of Copenhagen.

Computers can now predict our preferences directly from our brain

A research team from the University of Copenhagen and University of Helsinki demonstrates it is possible to predict individual preferences based on how a person’s brain responses match up to others. This could…
