UC Berkeley ranks as top global university in artificial intelligence, machine learning

The University of California, Berkeley, has been ranked as the top global university in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), according to a new study by the Higher Education Data Science Group (HEDSG). The study analyzed data from over 1,400 universities worldwide to rank them based on their research output, citations, and industry impact in the field of AI and ML.

UC Berkeley researchers develop new method for detecting earthquakes with seismic waves

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new method for detecting earthquakes that uses seismic waves to measure the presence of a fault. The method, called "full-waveform inversion," is able to detect earthquakes with a magnitude as low as 0.5, which is significantly lower than the threshold for traditional methods.

UC Berkeley scientists discover new type of stem cell in human hair follicles

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered a new type of stem cell in human hair follicles. The stem cells, called "skin-derived precursor cells," can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including hair follicles, skin cells, and fat cells. The discovery could lead to new treatments for hair loss and other skin conditions.

UC Berkeley researchers develop new AI-powered tool for predicting cancer risk

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a new AI-powered tool for predicting the risk of developing cancer. The tool, called "CancerPredict," uses machine learning to analyze data from electronic health records to identify patients who are at high risk for developing cancer. CancerPredict could help doctors to identify patients who need more frequent screening and treatment.
