AI Research
AI Is Shaping the Future. And We Are Shaping AI.
AI is remaking industries worldwide, from healthcare and finance to engineering, energy, and architecture. At New York Tech, our research explores the impact of AI on these industries, harnessing the power of machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, and other AI-related technologies to spur innovation, solve complex problems, and push the boundaries of knowledge.
Featured Projects
From Trash to Beauty through Digital Art and AI
A collaboration between New York Tech’s School of Architecture and Design and Peccioli-Belvedere S.p.A., employed AI and digital art methodologies to reimagine urban design and public infrastructure sustainably, transforming waste into visually impactful and functional design solutions, providing replicable models for future urban renewal projects.
Using MLAs to Improve ASL Gesture Recognition
Students and faculty from the College of Engineering & Computing Sciences integrated three machine-learning algorithms (MLAs) with a smart glove to improve gesture recognition for American Sign Language (ASL). The new system achieved a high accuracy of 99.6 percent and effectively addressed the shortcomings of previous hand gesture recognition systems.
Deciphering Energy Burden on Low-Income Households
Faculty from the School of Management are using machine learning algorithms to investigate the relationship between various buildings’ characteristics and energy costs in low-income households. Continued research will seek to develop a more robust understanding of this societal challenge to help develop more effective and sustainable policies.
Can Machine Learning Models Speed Epilepsy Diagnosis?
Electroencephalograms (EEGs) are critical for effective epilepsy diagnosis, but manual inspection of EEG data is time-consuming and relies on clinical expertise. After testing various machine learning (ML) model solutions for automating the detection of epileptic EEGs, students from the College of Osteopathic Medicine found that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) outperformed the others in capturing complex EEG spatial and temporal patterns.
Using Neural Networks to Study Visual Engagement in TV Fans
After using an EyeLink1000 Plus to track eye movements to investigate how TV fans and non-fans view character interactions, students and faculty from the Department of Psychology and Counseling employed a pretrained MobileNet for efficient gaze data analysis and cross-group validation to reveal how repeated media exposure fosters unique gaze patterns among program fans. Future work will examine how fan viewing behavior evolves over time.
Is Artificial Intelligence a Threat to Health & Well-being?
Occupations—or patterns of activity humans want, need, or are compelled to do—are both the means to and the ends of health and wellbeing. Faculty from our School of Health Professions are analyzing the potential risk AI poses to the loss of everyday aesthetic experiences through an occupational therapy lens to explore how the emergence of skill-replacing technologies that make human occupations unnecessary can affect human health and well-being.
Faculty Experts
Faculty and medical practitioners from across the university are advancing the future of artificial intelligence (AI) through groundbreaking research, innovative developments, and transformative discoveries in architecture, engineering, healthcare, business, and beyond.
AI Research
Using AI to Detect ECG Abnormalities
Student-led research uses artificial intelligence (AI) models to interpret abnormalities in electrocardiogram (ECG) test results.
Biotechnology Conference Explores New AI Frontiers in Healthcare
At the Fifth Annual Biotechnology Conference, attendees gathered to exchange innovative research and share ideas centered on the future of medicine and therapeutics through artificial intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge technologies.
Stewards of Responsible Tech
New York Tech recently hosted the Responsible Tech Careers event, where students mingled with industry professionals and learned how to advocate for responsible and ethical technology usage.
AI Minor Debuts
Starting in the spring semester of 2025, New York Tech will begin offering a minor in artificial intelligence (AI), open to all undergraduate students preparing to transition into any number of careers.
Are Messages From Robots Trustworthy?
A new study led by the School of Management’s Colleen Kirk, D.P.S., explores how consumers react when marketers use robots to write emotional messages.
