When recognizing faces and emotions, artificial intelligence (AI) can be biased, like classifying white people as happier than people from other racial backgrounds. This happens because the data used to train the AI contained a disproportionate number of happy white faces, leading it to correlate race with emotional expression. In a recent study, published in Media Psychology, researchers asked users to assess such skewed training data, but most users didn’t notice the bias — unless they ...| www.psu.edu
Could clothing monitor a person’s health in real time, because the clothing itself is a self-powered sensor? A new material created by researchers at Penn State through electrospinning, which is a process that draws out fibers using electricity, brings this possibility one step closer.| www.psu.edu
Penn State researchers found that the maximum wet-bulb temperature humans can endure is lower than previously thought — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy subjects. The temperature for older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, is likely even lower.| www.psu.edu
Penn State has published the recommendation report regarding the future of the Commonwealth Campuses that President Neeli Bendapudi shared with the Board of Trustees. The recommendation is not final until the board votes on it.| www.psu.edu
“Wireless tapping” is an emerging form of surveillance where full conversations can be remotely deciphered from the vibrations produced by a mobile phone’s earpiece. With the goal of protecting people’s privacy from potential bad actors, a team of computer science researchers at Penn State demonstrated that full sentences — up to 10,000 words — can be gleaned with 60% accuracy up to three meters, or almost 10 feet, from a caller.| www.psu.edu
