National AI partnership, research to benefit Hawaiʻi communities
A new national partnership will put the University of Hawaiʻi at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence (AI) research. UH will contribute research and expertise to a National Science Foundation (NSF) supported effort to establish an AI institute, which will enable innovative research and education in fundamental AI and machine learning theory. The new AI Institute for Dynamic Systems, led by the University of Washington, will include partnerships [...]
Coastlines: Unsung heroes in Hawaiʻi’s rainfall creation
Tiny aerosols, like sea salt, dust and ash, might be minuscule, but they play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. A new study from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa takes a deeper dive into a common aerosol in Hawaiʻi, giant sea salt aerosol, revealing that coastal areas can release up to five times more particles than the open […]
Using AI to track island fish earns national award
In groundbreaking research at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, computer scientist Travis Mandel and his interdisciplinary team have garnered national acclaim for their innovative use of artificial intelligence in revolutionizing reef fish tracking. The team’s FISHTRAC software, a creation of collaboration among students, alumni and faculty, employs AI to meticulously follow individual fish through video footage and photographs, […]
$10.9M to establish UH Pacific Center for Genome Research
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers are establishing a genome research center that will focus on Hawaiʻi’s diverse populations with the goal of better understanding the causes of certain diseases, like specific cancer and heart disorders that disproportionately impact different racial and ethnic groups, including Native Hawaiians and Asian Americans. A $10.9-million grant from the National Institutes of […]
