University of Nevada, Reno
Accelerating research and innovation through AI.
We advance artificial intelligence, and we put AI to work for researchers in every field. We help Nevada industry adopt AI, and we build university-industry teams that win major funding and solve hard problems facing our state and the nation.
What we are launching, and what happened to us and around us: results, awards, interviews, and people.
The College of Engineering has launched a minor in artificial intelligence. It is open to every undergraduate at the University and is designed to be completed alongside any major in …
Biology doesn't operate in silos, and neither should the AI representation of it. Quine is an early-stage research effort to create a multimodal world model of biology. By connecting insights …
Assistant professor Parikshit Maini took MoistureMapper, a field robot that tracks soil moisture and crop condition, onto Fox 11 Reno to explain how robotics and AI can help Nevada farmers …
Long term impact work and news.
A 330-million-parameter time series foundation model, trained on more than a trillion time points, that now forecasts several related series at once rather than one at a time, …
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a discussion paper on considerations for the regulation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)-enabled medical devices, seeking feedback from interested parties …
Aurora 1.5 adds 22 more variables, hourly temporal resolution, and probabilistic ensemble forecasting to the Aurora foundation model, making it more useful for real-world weather, climate, and energy …
Open calls with a date on them, soonest first. Federal, state, industry and foundation.
In Nevada, and in the world.
At G2E in Las Vegas, vendors showed AI that answers casino phones, recognises cash and speeds up game testing, while Aristocrat called AI central to building franchises. Attendees were split between enthusiasm and caution about it.
Both candidates for governor told the Review-Journal they back responsible data centre growth, but differ on how hard to regulate power and water use, as a new Pew survey finds national support for data centres falling.
Aleph Alpha released Kolibri, an open-weight German-English mixture-of-experts model with 78 billion parameters, 3.5 billion active per token, and a long context, under Apache 2.0, aimed at government and regulated work that must run on-premises.
Meta mathematicians working with its Muse Spark model through the ordinary chat interface produced six papers, five answering open questions in probability, differential equations and group theory. Each paper marks which passages the AI drafted; outside mathematicians reviewed them.
Boston Dynamics gave Atlas a four-fingered, 13-degree-of-freedom hand built for tool use and mass manufacture, designed to be simulated accurately so manipulation skills learned by reinforcement learning in simulation transfer to the real robot.
Nothing on the calendar yet.
Funded research and practical help for Nevada organizations.
PROJECT SUMMARY Metabolic homeostasis is maintained by active modulation of physiology and behavior. Neuropeptides are signaling molecules that directly impact available energy reserves by coordinating responses to stress and changes …
Abstract/Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions globally, yet it remains without a cure and with limited therapeutic options. Early diagnosis and risk prediction through genetic …
Project Summary Overall This proposal is to continue the development of a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Integrative Neuroscience at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). Nationally, advances …
Bring us a question and we will bring the AI. We help you build the team, sharpen the proposal, and aim at a bigger problem than you would attempt alone.
