Randomness, change, and probability reveal a tremendous amount about our daily lives, and how we misunderstand the significance of everything from a casual conversation to a major financial setback.

The learnability of different neural architectures can be characterized directly by computable measures of data complexity.

The distinguished Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in Rochester, New York, is renowned for graduating successful professionals who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a completely curable disease, yet over 1 million people die from TB every year.

A single glimpse is hardly enough to triangulate the 3D shapes of a scene. However, training examples are readily available, so statistical models can be trained to map appearance to shape.
