When people think about the game capture the flag, memories of gym class or family trips likely come to mind. The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is participating in a slightly different version of this childhood favorite, where teams face off against opponents across the world to tackle real-world cybersecurity issues.   GTRI's…

Using artificial intelligence (AI) for warfare has been the promise of science fiction and politicians for years, but new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology argues only so much can be automated and shows the value of human judgment. “All of the hard problems in AI really are judgment and data problems, and the interesting thing…

<p>Nicoleta Serban (left) and Will Sharp have collaborated on research that is making a revolutionary treatment program for pediatric feeding disorders available for more patients and families.</p>

Researchers William Sharp and Nicoleta Serban want kids to eat what’s good for them, and they want the healthcare industry to recognize the benefits – both physical and fiscal – of healthy eating habits for kids. Sounds simple. But it isn’t. About 5% of children struggle with significant feeding disorders. Many of them are sustained by feeding…
