Artificial Intelligence: A Key Driver of Stevens Research Advances

Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies that harness big data are rapidly changing the world. Stevens Institute of Technology is at the leading edge of AI technology, developing research that promises to transform the ways we do business, take care of our health, commute to work and more.

A new AI-fueled password cracker recently developed at Stevens is receiving national attention. The technology may prove useful for law enforcement, counterterrorism — and anyone who wishes to test and harden passwords.

Stevens faculty have developed exciting new machine-learning technologies that detect lies, flag insider-trading chatter and spot potential early-warning signs of Alzheimer's disease.

A Stevens researcher is training algorithms to learn jazz, then improvise in real time with live players; the work has applications in defense technologies, where human-computer communication is critical.

Supplementing its robust AI research, Stevens also regularly brings prominent innovators in the space to campus such as Google Research Director Peter Norvig and Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence Director Oren Etzioni.
