CS in UCL News

A UCL-led team will receive £19.5 million over five years to provide a powerful, high-speed computing resource for researchers across the UK in areas ranging from medicine to engineering to history.

UCL has announced a new collaboration with Tech Mahindra, a leading global provider of technology consulting and digital solutions to enterprises across industries, to advance joint research in generative AI, quantum computing and next generation digital technologies.

Synthesia, an AI startup co-founded by a UCL scientist, has secured $200 million (£145 million) in new funding, reaching a valuation of $4 billion (£2.9 billion), almost doubling its previous valuation.

A new AI model could help radiologists identify brain abnormalities in MRI scans for neurological conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and brain tumours, in a new study from researchers at UCL and King’s College London.

The first evidence that humans have the ability to sense objects without direct contact, a form of ‘remote touch’ that birds such as sandpipers have, has been presented in a new study from researchers at UCL and Queen Mary University of London.

A new AI curriculum, designed to equip the next generation of researchers with a deep understanding of generative AI and large language models (LLMs), has been developed by UCL and Google DeepMind.

The time to carry out diagnostic MRI scans for dementia can be cut to one third of their standard length, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.

Writing for Times Higher Education, Dr George Chalhoub (UCL Computer Science) urges for enforceable guidelines when using AI in academic settings. This comes amid various examples of language learning models (LLMs) text appearing in academic research over the last two years.

Four UCL scientists have been named Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), recognising their outstanding contributions in the field - pioneering innovations across academia and industry, advising government and advancing understanding of engineering and technology.

A UCL scientist is leading a new project using artificial intelligence (AI) to transform routine eye checks into tools for detecting early signs of conditions such as heart disease and dementia.

Writing for Fortune, Professor Byron Cook (UCL Computer Science) explains the need and importance of automated reasoning in artificial intelligence language models and how this can help reduce incorrect information from spreading through AI.

Researchers across UCL are applying artificial intelligence in powerful ways to accelerate Alzheimer’s diagnosis, track disease progression and develop new treatments.

Scientists at UCL, Google DeepMind and Intrinsic have developed a powerful new AI algorithm that enables large sets of robotic arms to work together faster and smarter in busy industrial settings - potentially saving manufacturers hours of planning time and boosting flexibility.

Cyberstalking is increasing at a faster rate than traditional stalking and is disproportionately affecting young people, women, and members of the lesbian, gay and bisexual community, according to a new study led by researchers from UCL.

An artificial intelligence (AI) system that enables a four-legged robot to adapt its gait to varied, unfamiliar terrain, just like a real animal, has been developed by researchers at UCL and the University of Leeds.
