IEEE’s Post

Over the past few weeks, #IEEE Impact Creators have been exploring the vital role of human participation in AI development in fields like manufacturing, medicine and beyond. Learn more about about human-AI collaboration on #IEEE Transmitter: https://bit.ly/3WavPKg

This week we’re recognizing #IEEE Senior Member Walter Scheirer, affiliated with IEEE Computer Society and IEEESPS Society for his research on the problem of recognition, including the representations and algorithms that support solutions to it, which can be applied to AI technologies. Scheirer’s research interests center around features and learning-based methods that apply to both vision and language. His approaches can be applied to a wide range of applications including computer vision, machine learning, human biometrics and the digital humanities. And, his unique perspective as a computer scientist has enabled him to provide insightful cultural commentary analyzing the social context of emerging technologies.

"The highlight of my year so far has been meeting passionate technical educators and colleagues at events like ECEDHA and the #IEEE Region meetings. My visit to Cuba and catching the total eclipse in Arkansas after the Region 5 meeting made it even more special.”- Tom Coughlin, 2024 IEEE President & CEO https://bit.ly/3XzrP6R

Science isn't just about facts and theories. It's the never-ending journey of unlocking the mysteries of our universe and reframing the way we think about research, discovery and problem-solving. Science teaches us to be constantly curious, lifelong learners capable of making impossible ideas reality.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a major role in transforming the agricultural sector to meet the needs of a growing population in a changing climate. Technologies like drones, advanced sensors and other IoT devices are giving farmers actionable insights on plant health, water movement and soil conditions. Through consistent monitoring and early detection, farmers will have the information they need to mitigate potential problems, increase overall efficiency and optimize crop production.

Fitness trackers have become valuable tools that help us keep track of vital health and wellness metrics like heart rates and step counts. Could this data also help us diagnose mental health conditions? #IEEE Fellow Chenyang Lu thinks it’s a question worth exploring as fitness trackers could prove to be an easy, unobtrusive method for early diagnosis of anxiety and depression.
