Graduate student Grace Goodwin (Psychology), undergraduate Sebastian Mehrzad (Princeton University), and faculty Jorge Fonseca (Computer Science), Jeffrey Cummings (Brain Health), and Samantha John (Brain Health) recently published their research article, "Classification of AD and bvFTD using neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric variables: a…
Hal Berghel (Computer Science) published an article titled, "A Generative AI Perspective on the Turing Test: Passed but Not Vindicated," in the current issue of IEEE Computer. In this article Berghel argues that while it seems clear that generative artificial intelligence has passed the Turing test, it does not follow that GenAI has demonstrated…
The article "Prospects for kSZ2—21 cm2 Cross Correlations during Reionization" was recently published in The Astrophysical Journal. This article, published by Paul La Plante (Computer Science) and collaborators, discusses possibilities for combining astronomical data from radio telescopes with observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…
Arturo Roman and Anubhab Mahapatra (Computer Science and Information Systems), both members of the UNLV Cyber Clinic, presented on cybersecurity risks and tips to members of the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce. Small businesses are actually at higher risk of cyber attacks as hackers assume they don’t have the resources or knowledge to protect their…
