Columbia’s CEAL makes video games and the real world accessible to blind and low-vision players. Brian Smith, CEAL director and Associate Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University, shows off CEAL’s Surveyor for the Possible Worlds documentary: bit.ly/4nvgHD1
Is that solar panel pointing in the right direction? In cities, it’s difficult to know. Columbia Engineers have developed a new system that uses a 360° image to forecast the energy a panel in a given location and orientation would generate. Learn more: bit.ly/4vE2wPH
Can AI understand literary nuance?
A team led by @ColumbiaCompSci Kathleen McKeown & @hmslydia tested today's LLM models using unpublished short stories, evaluated by the authors themselves. The result? A clearer picture where AI still falls short.

This #EngineersWeek, we're celebrating engineers like @stroustrup, whose work quietly powers the modern world.
The @ColumbiaCompSci prof. created C++ during his time at Bell Labs — now one of the most influential programming languages ever developed.

Factories across the world rely on tech from Columbia to spot micron-scale mistakes that could render a chip or circuit board unusable. The system saves money for companies and consumers by preventing waste and identifying potentially expensive problems. bit.ly/4aCOunr
CTO of @alibaba_cloud Jingren Zhou MS'01, PhD'04 shared an essential truth at our AI Lecture Series — the breakthroughs we celebrate depend on massive infrastructure: supercomputers, storage systems, and thousands of engineers working behind the scenes. bit.ly/4j3g69a
