(Press-News.org) An engineering doctoral student is shedding light on the reliability of today’s modern-day artificial intelligence with an issue most do not think about: energy efficiency.
Noel Daniel Gundi, who will defend his dissertation later in the semester, was the lead collaborator on research addressing reliability and faults in artificial intelligence. The research paper will be presented and published at the Design Automation Conference in July. It focuses on the computer chip used for artificial intelligence software, such as Google’s search engines. When at low power, the chip can malfunction and cause issues in the results of calculations. Gundi’s technique, called STRIVE, can detect and fix the errors in a way that uses less energy, making the computer chip faster and more efficient.
DAC is sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Association for Computing Machinery. The conference is a prestigious publication venue in the electrical and computer engineering field, and the selection process for publication has a 23 percent acceptance rate.
“I feel very thankful to have been granted publication for such a competitive conference,” Gundi said. “I look forward to the conference and to continue working on my research.”
Gundi, who is originally from India, has spent much of his doctorate researching and learning about AI, whether it be updating current architecture of the computer chip, machine learning or energy consumption of AI software. Sanghamitra Roy has served as his mentor for the greater part of his studies.
Other authors on the paper included Zinnia Muntaha Mowri, Andrew Chamberlin, Koushik Chakraborty and Roy. Chakraborty and Roy are professors in the ECE department who also oversee the Bridge Lab. Research focuses on creating bridges between computer architecture and physical design, energy efficacy, design automation, network-on-chip design and 3D integrated circuits.
“Noel is a fantastic student and I have enjoyed watching him grow,” said Roy. “I can’t wait to see what else he accomplishes in the future.

New ideas for biodiversity research: ecologist Jonathan Chase receives ERC Advanced Grant
2023-03-30
The European Research Council (ERC) announced that Professor Jonathan Chase will be awarded one of the prestigious ERC Advanced Grants. The scientist will receive almost 2.5 million euros over the next five years to fund his research project "MetaChange". With this project, he plans to develop new concepts, tools and analyses for a better understanding of biodiversity and its change. Chase has been conducting research and teaching at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig since 2014.

Breaking the barrier: Low-temp ammonia synthesis with iron catalysts and barium hydride
2023-03-30
The Haber-Bosch (HB) process is one of the most important industrial chemical reactions. It combines nitrogen and hydrogen gases in the presence of an iron-based catalyst at high temperatures and pressures to produce ammonia fertilizer which helps provide food for over five billion people. Over the decades, researchers have tried to bring down the reaction temperature of the HB process to increase the ammonia yield while reducing energy consumption. To this end, they have recently developed new catalysts based on other transition metals, ...
Boosting the body’s anti-viral immune response may eliminate aging cells
2023-03-30
BOSTON – Aging, or senescent cells, which stop dividing but don’t die, can accumulate in the body over the years and fuel chronic inflammation that contributes to conditions such as cancer and degenerative disorders.
In mice, eliminating senescent cells from aging tissues can restore tissue balance and lead to an increased healthy lifespan. Now a team led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB), has found that the immune response to a virus that is ubiquitously present in human tissues ...
Revealing the pattern between frontal polymerization and natural convection
2023-03-30
A self-propagating chemical reaction can transform a liquid monomer into a solid polymer and the interaction between the propagating front and the reaction’s natural convection leads to patterns in the resulting solid polymeric material. New University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign work has shown how the coupling between natural convection and frontal polymerization leads to those observed patterns.
This research was led by a unique team of researchers- Materials Science and Engineering professor Nancy Sottos, Aerospace Engineering professor Philippe Geubelle, and Mechanical Science and Engineering ...
New mechanisms and therapeutic possibilities for heart failure uncovered by scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and Johns Hopkins University
2023-03-30
(Philadelphia, PA) – Greater awareness and advances in treatment have greatly improved survival rates following heart attack. With more survivors, however, has come the challenge of managing long-term impacts on heart function, especially chronic heart failure, in which the heart gradually loses its ability to pump blood.
Mortality among individuals affected by chronic heart failure following a heart attack – referred to medically as myocardial infarction (MI) – is high. But, according to new research from a major collaborative effort led by scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, more effective treatments may soon ...
How to achieve a functional cure for chronic hepatitis B
2023-03-30
Geneva, March 30, 2023 – More than half of patients who suffer from chronic hepatitis B have the e antigen (HBeAg)-negative form of the disease. Even after many years of antiviral treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NUC), lasting immune control is almost never seen. According to the current state of knowledge, those affected therefore require lifelong therapy. In the world’s first randomized controlled multicenter study – led by Leipzig University’s Faculty of Medicine and in partnership with the Centre for Clinical Studies (ZKS) – researchers have shown that many HBeAg-negative patients ...
New, exhaustive study probes hidden history of horses in the American West
2023-03-30
A team of international researchers has dug into archaeological records, DNA evidence and Indigenous oral traditions to paint what might be the most exhaustive history of early horses in North America to date. The group’s findings show that these beasts of burden may have spread throughout the American West much faster and earlier than many European accounts have suggested.
The researchers, including several scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder, published their findings today in the journal Science.
To tell the stories of horses in the West, the team closely examined about two dozen sets of ...
Newly discovered trigger for major depression opens new possibilities for treatments
2023-03-30
A common amino acid, glycine, can deliver a “slow-down” signal to the brain, likely contributing to major depression, anxiety and other mood disorders in some people, scientists at the Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology have found.
The discovery, outlined Thursday in the journal Science, improves understanding of the biological causes of major depression and could accelerate efforts to develop new, faster-acting medications for such hard-to-treat mood disorders, said neuroscientist Kirill Martemyanov, Ph.D., corresponding author of ...

AI predicts enzyme function better than leading tools
2023-03-30
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, dubbed CLEAN, outperforms the leading state-of-the-art tools in accuracy, reliability and sensitivity. Better understanding of enzymes and their functions would be a boon for research in genomics, chemistry, industrial materials, medicine, pharmaceuticals and more.
“Just like ChatGPT uses data from written language to create predictive text, we are leveraging ...
