The process analyzes several possible risk scenarios to help doctors more thoroughly assess people who could be candidates for heart transplants.

In this Q&A about “The Book of Why,” UCLA’s Judea Pearl shares how understanding causality plays a vital role in developing artificial intelligence.

Bruin Code Summer Academy will offer 30 students from Mann UCLA Community School an opportunity to learn programming.

The statistical analysis software the researchers have designed is more precise and reliable than previous methods.

UCLA professor of musicology David MacFadyen is a champion of blockchain and how it could influence the future study and scholarship in arts and literature.

UCLA’s Jane Margolis and Julie Flapan use research to help policymakers devise equitable and effective strategies to scale up diversity in computer science.

The new technique sheds light on the materials the artist used, and the order in which they were applied to the painting. It also helped scientists uncover insights about the painting’s connections to other work from the same era.

The new technique produces better images than current methods, and it’s easier to implement because it requires fewer measurements and performs computations faster.

John Villasenor on why the Australian government’s recent push to force technology companies to break into end-to-end encryption is futile.

The finding could provide the perfect vehicle for carrying qubits of data in quantum computing.

“The dream is to have an array of hundreds or thousands of qubits all working together to solve a difficult problem,” said graduate student Joshua Schoenfield. “This work is an important step toward realizing that dream.”

While women have made significant gains in many fields, including medicine, business and law, the percentage of women who receive CS degrees is the smallest across all STEM fields, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Graduating senior Luke Vellotti is leaving UCLA this week with two bachelor’s degrees — one in mathematics and one in computer science — and starting his career at Google as a software developer.

The donation, which builds on Henry and Susan Samueli’s previous gifts, will fund a program that combines scholarships and internships for as many as 50 first-year students.

The Marian Group formulates theoretical models of how materials will behavior under conditions that are nearly impossible to physically replicate, such as ultrafast heating, high-dose irradiation or very fast deformation rates.

Hear about the latest data science-related research in a number of domains and learn how leading-edge companies are leveraging data science for success.

An multidisciplinary team designed an algorithm that could discern structured narratives within the flow of posts on the internet reflecting how humans communicate.

The peptide discovery by UCLA researchers and others has broad implications for biomedicine.

The technique, called a "non-malleable commitment," is the electronic equivalent of a lockbox and requires only two rounds of one-way communication from the sender to the recipient.

Teams of UCLA students, staff and faculty who have created clever, first-of-their-kind software and applications that use the latest technologies to help solve problems unveiled the result of thousands of hours of hard work Thursday at a campus conference.

The research could improve scientists’ ability to understand health care, economics and the environment, and to glean much more pertinent insight from data.

The project asked UCLA students to use their skills to build an app that uses voice and speech recognition to analyze and improve the dynamics of group interactions.

The sites perform sophisticated, real-time reasoning to ensure that a specific vehicle could be manufactured with the consumer’s preferred combination of options and features.

More than 1,000 high school and college students from across the United States descended last weekend on UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion to plug into LA Hacks, a collaborative computer programming event organized by two UCLA student groups and sponsored by LA 2024.

UCLA students can now compete for a chance to assist UCLA Chancellor Gene Block with developing his idea into a mobile application that will use voice and speech recognition to analyze and improve the dynamics of group interactions.
