Intelligent tutoring systems have been shown to be effective in helping to teach certain subjects, such as algebra or grammar, but creating these computerized systems is difficult and laborious. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown they can rapidly build them by, in effect, teaching the computer to teach.
Food plays a big role in our health, and for that reason many people trying to improve their diet often track what they eat. A new wearable from researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science helps wearers track their food habits with high fidelity.
Today's virtual reality systems can create immersive visual experiences, but seldom do they enable users to feel anything — particularly walls, appliances and furniture. A new device developed at Carnegie Mellon University, however, uses multiple strings attached to the hand and fingers to simulate the feel of obstacles and heavy objects.
The 2020 international ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) was scheduled to take place this week (April 25 to 30, 2020) in Honolulu, Hawaii, but was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Although there is no in-person event or official virtual CHI conference, individual groups were permitted to self-organize virtual events.
The international ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (also known as CHI) was scheduled to take place this week in Honolulu, Hawaii.
CHI 2020 was expecting its second to largest crowd ever, but the premier international conference on Human-Computer Interaction was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Carnegie Mellon University today unveiled five interactive maps displaying real-time information on symptoms, doctor visits, medical tests and browser searches related to COVID-19 in the United States, including estimated disease activity at the county level.
Professor Jason Hong has been named to the 2020 CHI Academy, an honorary group of individuals who have made substantial contributions to the field of human-computer interaction (HCI).
Jessica Hammer, the Thomas and Lydia Moran Assistant Professor of Learning Science in the School of Computer Science's Human-Computer Interaction Institute, has received a National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award, the organization's most prestigious award for young faculty members.
Carnegie Mellon University has shaped artificial intelligence (AI) from the field’s very beginning. Today, researchers from all seven colleges across CMU continue to define AI as the next frontier in human progress and are working to help solve problems in areas from healthcare to education.
