Smartphone app uses AI to detect depression from facial cues
Dartmouth researchers report they have developed the first smartphone application that uses artificial intelligence paired with facial-image processing software to reliably detect the onset of depression before the user even knows something is wrong.
SMU lab creating large synthetic datasets to reduce bias, preserve privacy in AI facial recognition systems
The quality of any artificial intelligence (AI) model relies on the data it is given. That is why researchers at SMU are creating large datasets to address bias and fairness issues found in facial recognition (FR) technology.
