When Zina Ward & Tom Juzek of the FSU Data Science Program noticed that scientific abstracts were overusing specific words, they wanted to learn more. Their research into the word choice of large language models analyzed the interactions between technology and human language and has implications for linguistics, computational linguistics and data science. They joined Science Friday host Flora Lichtman today to discuss their research ?? https://lnkd.in/eJJbXpwS

For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, a cooperative research effort from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley and other collaborators is making possible a new, super-sensitive detector to search for kinds of dark matter that other detectors can’t find.

Congratulations to Zhe He, PhD, FAMIA on being named director of the Institute for Successful Longevity! ?? The institute leads multidiciplinary research into the complexities of life as an older individual, exploring how to live longer, stay active and be fully engaged in life. “Aging research is at a pivotal moment, with advancements in data science, artificial intelligence and digital health offering transformative opportunities to enhance the lives of older adults,” He said. “My vision for ISL is to foster an innovative, interdisciplinary environment where researchers, students, and community partners come together to develop impactful solutions that promote longevity, health and well-being.” Read more here about his work with longevity research and goals for the institute ?? https://lnkd.in/eXhUM-iz

Florida State University researchers have created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. By using robotics to prepare thousands of samples and artificial intelligence to analyze their data, they created a simple, inexpensive tool that could expand possibilities for performing chemical analysis. The work was published in Digital Discovery #RSCDigital, a Royal Society of Chemistry journal. “We are living in the age of artificial intelligence and big data,” said co-author Oliver Steinbock, a professor in the FSU Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry. “We thought that if we used sufficiently large databases with enough pictures of different compounds and stains, we could maybe use AI to determine what the composition is.” The research could make possible cheaper, faster chemical analysis that could be used in space exploration, law enforcement, home testing and more.

Did you know loneliness could impact your brain health? ?? A new study by Martina Luchetti, Angelina Sutin, and their team, reveals that loneliness isn’t just a Western issue, it affects cognitive function across the globe. Their research, which analyzed data from over 20,000 participants in 7 countries shows that isolation impacts cognitive health across a broad spectrum of global populations. ??

Meet Jonathan Stewart, an #FSUStatistics assistant professor, whose research explores how networks shape our world, from understanding social connections to tracking disease spread. In collaboration with assistant professor Joshua Loyal, Stewart received a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to develop new statistical methods that better model how connections form and influence one another, increasing precision across fields like epidemiology, finance, and data science. ??
