With This 1 Move, Google May Have Solved a Huge AI Content Problem

Lichao Sun, professor of computer science and engineering, and research colleagues have released a study into a technique that prevents AI systems from unfairly or illegally “scraping” musical tracks to train their data-hungry AI algorithms, Inc. reports. The HarmonyCloak tool adds data to music recordings that effectively tricks an AI algorithm into thinking it’s already heard a particular track. The algorithm decides there’s nothing new there to learn from, and so it moves on without incorporating the music into its training data.

Can electrical signatures help diagnose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex and long-term illness characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, and can worsen with physical activity. The exhaustion is severe enough to limit a person’s ability to carry out daily activities like cooking, showering, or even getting dressed. Additional symptoms can include muscle pain, joint pain, memory issues, headaches, sleep problems, and sensitivity to light or sound. 

Lehigh partners with North Carolina A&T to enhance flood damage mapping with AI and advanced radar

One only needs to glance at the news, social media, or even just out the window to understand the devastation caused by flooding. Recent back-to-back major hurricanes have brought catastrophic rainfall that has devastated communities across the southeastern United States. 

With climate change, experts predict these extreme weather events will increasingly become the norm. Among the many ways that researchers are devising strategies to protect and assist vulnerable areas, one such effort involves increasing the speed and accuracy of damage assessments.

Improving crisis response and public transit through mobility modeling

Knowing how people move across urban areas is about more than avoiding traffic jams.

“Think about something like COVID-19,” says Lehigh University researcher Yu Yang, an assistant professor of computer science and engineering in the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science. “Having a better understanding of human mobility could help cities implement transportation policies during times of public health crises that could reduce infection rates.”
