The fundamental importance of diversity led Assistant Professor of Computer Science Adji Bousso Dieng to develop the Vendi Score, a metric which can be applied to evaluate and promote better diversity in generative models and datasets, among other applications. 

Princeton Class of 2025 member James Zhang has been named a Schwarzman Scholar and will attend a one-year, fully funded master’s degree program in global affairs at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

With the help of machine learning, Peter Melchior, assistant professor of statistical astronomy at Princeton University’s Department of Astrophysical Sciences and the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning, is working to maximize the value of the information extracted from datasets. “We’re trying to find the limit of what the data can tell us in order to tease out more information about galaxies,” said Melchior. 

Researchers from Princeton University and the University of Arizona have created a simulation that maps underground water on a continental scale. The simulation, published January 6 in Nature Water, shows that rainfall and snowmelt flows much farther underground than previously understood and that more than half the water in streams…
