Latest Research
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are developing a powerful AI system to help decode the genome and uncover how genetic variation influences health and disease.
Using Empire AI's advanced computing resources, a University of Buffalo team is building multimodal large language models (mLLM) capable of delivering real-time, interactive speech-language therapy that could create new opportunities for children to receive individualized support both in school and at home.
Scientists believe disruptions in the process of removing waste through the brain are associated with Alzheimer’s, stroke, hypertension, and traumatic brain injury. University of Rochester Prof. Douglas Kelley and his team are using Empire AI and advanced MRI imaging to reveal the hidden flow of waste-clearing fluids to reveal previously inaccessible aspects of brain function.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, but today’s screening programs face major barriers. Using Empire AI, an RPI researcher is developing a system that learns from large-scale, real-world data to identify subtle patterns that may not be clearly visible to clinicians to offer earlier, more accurate diagnoses.
The rise of generative AI in music has introduced new opportunities but also significant concerns. A Cornell researcher is using Empire AI to develop AI tools that enhance rather than replace creativity, ensuring that artists remain at the center of the creative process.
