So when the COVID pandemic hit, he knew he had a unique opportunity to document how different types of isolation would alter our city in the world. Armed with insights from his previous work on disaster response, the value of shared social infrastructure, and the phenomenon of people choosing to live alone, Klinenberg and a team of researchers started interviewing New Yorkers who were living and working through the crisis. His new book, "2020: One City, Seven People, and the Year Everything Changed," explores both the inspirational stories and the failures of that year, raising questions about how to repair political divisions, build trust, and better prepare for similar challenges in the future.

- Description
- AI systems like GPT-4 have made headlines for how well they learn and use human language, but they do that by ingesting astronomical amounts of data from the internet—more text a human would encounter in 100,000 years. Human babies, meanwhile, learn words with much less input, just by absorbing what's in their own environment. What would happen if an AI system had to learn words the way kids do, based only on what a single toddler sees and hears? NYU data science researchers recently Wai Keen Vong and Brenden Lake conducted that exact experiment, using video and audio captured from a camera mounted to a child's head over a period of months to train a multimodal neural network. The results—published in the journal Science—shed light on long-standing debates on language acquisition processes in children, as well as on what it would mean to make AI learning processes more childlike, and potentially more efficient.

That’s where the Barbara Goldsmith Preservation & Conservation Department comes in. The conservators working there—tucked away in workshops on one of Bobst’s lower levels—use an array of tools to preserve, protect, and extend the life of NYU Libraries' collections. Their work encompasses everything from bookbinding to film repair to figuring out how to safely store a book made out of slices of Kraft American cheese (yes, really).

- Infants are fascinated by other people, and they bring to this fascination a rich set of inferences and intuitions about the motivations that cause other people to act. An if an aim of AI is to build the flexible, commonsense thinker that human adults become, then AI might need to start like human adults do, from the same core abilities as infants. But a recent experiment that put 11-month old infants head-to-head with neural network models meant to mimic human behavior found that the babies still had the edge when it came to predicting the invisible goals and motivations behind the actions of animated shapes (representing people) on a screen.

She teamed up with Steinhardt physical therapy professor Anat V. Lubetzky to test usability of this app when testing people remotely on a set of balancing tasks. Their long-term goal is that with the data the app collects, health providers will be able to identify those—particularly older adults—who need help to prevent falls, and researchers will be able build a better understanding of how balance varies across different groups.
