At 12, Tom Griffiths was slaying dragons, a task not so different, as it happens, from his current role as a professor of psychology and computer science at Princeton. That’s not to say his colleagues or — heaven forbid — his students behave like dragons.

Danqi Chen stands at the intersection of machine learning and everyday language, and she is paving a fast lane toward a long-sought goal: opening the full expanse of human knowledge to computers that can think like people do — or maybe better.

International agreements and coordinated diplomatic pressures will be essential in avoiding indiscriminate use of artificial intelligence in lethal military conflicts, retired Gen. John R. Allen told an audience at Princeton University on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

The Siebel Scholars Foundation has awarded Siebel Scholars fellowships to five Princeton University graduate students in computer science.

Four portraits that capture the broad diversity of Princeton University’s distinguished graduates and pioneers were unveiled Sept. 20 in a ceremony held at Chancellor Green.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has selected Princeton University computer scientist Martonosi to serve as head of the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering, one of seven top-level divisions within the NSF.

Professor Margaret Martonosi has been selected by the Semiconductor Research Corporation to receive the 2019 Aristotle Award for graduate research advising.

On September 5th, Google announced the recipients of this year's Google PhD Fellowships, which include Princeton CS graduate student Diana Cai in the area of Machine Learning.

Sedgewick was named an ACM Fellow (1997) for seminal work in the mathematical analysis of algorithms and pioneering research in algorithm animation. He was named the recipient of the 2018 ACM Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award for developing classic textbooks and online materials for the study of algorithms, analytic combinatorics, and introductory computer science that have educated generations of students worldwide. This year he also received (with the late Philippe Flajolet) the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition for the 2009 book they co-authored, Analytic Combinatorics.

When the members of the Class of 1976 matriculated at Princeton in the fall of 1972, the catalogue for their first academic year listed just three “basic courses” for computer science, all of which were in the Department of Electrical Engineering.

Teenagers enjoy the products of artificial intelligence (AI) every day, whether taking a twisted selfie with a photo filter or listening to music with an automated streaming service. But not many high school students have used AI themselves to analyze human genetic variation or track deforestation in the Amazon.
