How Social Networking Sites May Discriminate Against Women
Using the photo-sharing site Instagram as a test case, Columbia researchers found that recommendation algorithms influence social status by amplifying network disparities.
Pioneering Research Will Be on Display During Data Science Day
Columbia will hold its third annual Data Science Day on March 28. The conference is open to the public and aims to foster collaboration and deepen understanding of issues such as public health and medical research, climate change and financial risk.
For Blind Gamers, Equal Access to Racing Video Games
The RAD, an audio-based interface that can easily be integrated into existing video games, enables people who are visually impaired to play video games with the same speed and control as sighted players, with full 3D graphics and complex, challenging racetracks.
Dual Frequency Comb Generated on a Single Chip Using a Single Laser
Columbia engineers are the first to miniaturize dual-frequency combs by putting two frequency comb generators on a single millimeter-sized silicon-based chip — work that could lead to low-cost, real-time portable sensing and spectroscopy in the field.
