Researchers take a stand on algorithm design for job centers: Landing a job isn’t always the right goal

Imagine that you are a job consultant. You are sitting across from your client, an unemployed individual. After locating them in the system, up pops the following text on the computer screen; ‘increased risk of long-term unemployment’. Such assessments are…

Knowing the model you can trust – the key to better decision-making

As much of Europe is engulfed by a second wave of Covid-19, and track and trace struggles to meet demand, modelling support tools are being increasingly used by policymakers to make key decisions. Most notably, models have been used to…

‘Universal law of touch’ will enable new advances in virtual reality

Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team, led by researchers at the University of Birmingham, used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling…

Lecturer takes laptops and smart phones away and musters student presence

Danish university lecturer experiments with banning screens in discussion lessons. In a new study, a UCPH researcher and her colleagues at Aarhus University analyzed the results, which include greater student presence, improved engagement and deeper learn
