Making Sense of Machine Learning
Welcome to the Fall 2023 issue of Resolve—a magazine dedicated to research and educational innovation in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science at Lehigh University.

This issue of Resolve highlights intriguing interdisciplinary projects that align with Lehigh’s new strategic plan, Inspiring the Future Makers, which includes a key focus on “high-paced, high-reward research.”

Lehigh teams are harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, and specifically machine learning, to make advances that will revolutionize the way we diagnose diseases, store and distribute energy, and manufacture materials, to name a few examples.

At the same time, the development and incorporation of cutting-edge data science tools and techniques requires careful consideration of how these technologies impact users and our society as a whole. Lehigh’s Institute for Data, Intelligent Systems, and Computation (I-DISC) is emerging as a leader in research that champions a holistic, human-centered approach to AI. | READ MORE >>

Making Sense of Machine Learning

Making Sense of Machine Learning

There’s recently been a surge of media coverage around machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). And you would be forgiven for thinking they’re essentially the same thing, as the terms are often used interchangeably. AI is the development of systems that are capable of mimicking human intelligence to perform tasks such as image, speech, and facial recognition; decision-making; and language translation. As a subfield of AI, machine learning employs algorithms to enable computers to learn from data to identify patterns and then do something with that recognition, such as make a prediction, a decision, or a recommendation.
