Plenty of researchers already study how to tell if online writing bears the traits of artificial intelligence — but Michael Laudenbach, in the humanities and social sciences department at NJIT’s Jordan Hu College of Science and Liberal Arts, is studying what traits indicate that digital prose was crafted by analog humans.
What are the odds Facebook users read the news articles they end up sharing with the rest of the world?
Only one in four, according to a recent study of our news sharing behavior spanning almost a full U.S. election cycle, which was published in Nature Human Behaviour.
A special group of NJIT’s graduating seniors is finishing undergraduate life with a flourish — their achievements across the humanities and STEM sciences recently earned them the Outstanding Student Award at the College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards this month.
In the first of a two-part series, we catch up with this year’s winners who share their successes and memorable moments at NJIT, as well as exciting plans following Commencement 2024.
While excitement builds toward Commencement 2024, celebrations have already begun at NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA), which recently hosted its annual awards ceremony honoring distinguished alumni, faculty, students and staff.
NJIT’s annual celebration of its top student researchers kicked off at the 2024 Dana Knox Student Research Showcase, which once again highlighted a stunning array of innovation and discovery from every corner of the STEM disciplines.
Now in its 19th year, the showcase competition featured 68 diverse research projects presented by students from NJIT’s six colleges at the university Campus Center.
A group of film students and faculty from the NJIT-Rutgers Theatre Arts Program have taken creative inspiration from the cinematic universe of N.J.-born filmmaker Kevin Smith, and it’s earned them recognition from the iconic writer/director himself.
David Rothenberg, distinguished professor of philosophy and music at New Jersey Institute of Technology, presented his new book “The Secret Sounds of Ponds”, a book, music and performance initiative.
Rothenberg started this project during the pandemic. When everybody was home, he decided to visit a nearby pond. After “tossing a microphone in,” he was able to capture an entirely new realm: the unexpected and stirring rhythms of some of the smallest and loudest creatures on Earth.
Voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Apple Siri now have the ears of an estimated 142 million users in the United States, but just how much we trust and listen to AI assistants for daily information may come down to how much we identify with them personality-wise.
That’s the takeaway from a study led by researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Penn State University examining the impact of voice assistant (VA) personalities on user engagement and decision-making.
In the highly social world of the zebra finch, every male has a unique song: a brief motif resembling the squeak of a mechanical toy that he chirps, often in rapid succession, in courtship and communal gatherings. These songs are not innate. Pubescent finches develop their signature sound by listening to adult male birdsong which they then individualize with subtle variations in frequency, tonality and rhythm.
Two NJIT undergrads and an alumnus have landed prestigious awards from the New Jersey Society of Professional Journalists (NJ-SPJ) for their outstanding contributions to the university’s student newspaper, The Vector.
