With the launch of the Gaia satellite in 2013, scientists have been receiving an unprecedented quantity and quality of data on a billion stars in the Milky Way. But the data sets are incomplete. Gaia does not currently provide the complete position and velocity coordinates for all billion stars.
It is common for researchers to conduct field studies to study mass social behavior in online networks, such as Facebook or Reddit. These studies lead to qualitative-based conclusions. However, until recently, replicating these interactions in the lab and at scale has been hard to do.

Over the last several years, researchers have developed advanced machine learning tools to provide captions for still images and video. Applications for advanced image caption tools could include an assistant robot for the visually impaired or a robot that performs reconnaissance missions in environments…
Under Princeton University’s DataX Fund, several research teams have been busy exploring how data science tools can speed up scientific discovery in a wide range of disciplines.
From these teams, we profile three projects that have yielded promising results, respectively in creating new…
Though he only joined Princeton University as a data scientist in November, Andrzej Żurański is already involved in some exciting research on campus: applying machine learning techniques to explore the mysteries underpinning chemical reactions. His contributions are aimed at discovering efficient methods for the…
When Pranay Anchuri was a college sophomore studying computer science, he worked on a project developing a search engine to crawl through Wikipedia for information. It was not a novel idea, but it got Anchuri hooked on learning more about large scale data sets, leading him to his eventual career as a data…
Princeton University researchers will push the limits of data science by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning across the research spectrum in an interdisciplinary pilot project made possible through a major gift from Schmidt Futures.
The funds will support a range of campus-wide data science initiatives led by the…
