Even with AI tools, job recruiters believe they make the hiring call. But a new CDS/Tandon study finds those AI tools have a much bigger impact than their users realize. By CDS’ Emily Black, Tandon’s @rosiebellini.bsky.social, and Sajel Surati. nyudatascience.medium.com/ai-shapes-hi...

Starting a CDS master’s this fall? CDS Assoc. Prof. Greg Durrett (@gregdnlp.bsky.social) recommends a summer spent on the fundamentals: ✅ linear algebra ✅calculus ✅probability ✅statistics

Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed late. Too late. Information that could help researchers to better understand the early signs is already sitting in radiology reports. CDS PhD student Ebrahim Rasromani's recent work discusses the use of LLMs to extract this information.

CDS grad students and alumni gathered at a bar near CDS recently for a summer happy hour. Incoming students met returning students and alumni over food and drinks ahead of the fall semester. Thanks to everyone who came out.

Starting a CDS master’s this fall? Incoming CDS Clinical Assistant Professor Sam Deng says get fluent in the core math (calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics) and in Python before the semester starts.

CDS MS students (now alum) Adhiraj Singh, Deepanshu Mody, Ghina Al Shdaifat, and Hamza Alshamy built JOLT (Joint Optimization for Greedy Longest-Match Tokenization), a method that trains a LLM's subword vocabulary to match the exact rule used to split text when the model runs.

Attention companies, nonprofits, and research labs! The deadline to submit a proposal for the CDS Capstone Project is now Sunday, August 16! cds.nyu.edu/masters-in-d...

CDS MS alum and incoming PhD student Yaozhong (Harry) Huang trained a deep learning model to generate FLAIR brain MRI from T1 and T2 scans at 3T, skipping a separate scan and cutting time in the machine. With Prof. Riccardo Lattanzi of NYU Langone.

The standard way to teach probability and statistics left students confused. CDS Assoc. Prof. of Math and Data Science Carlos Fernandez-Granda restructured his course to pair each concept with real data, and wrote a book about it. cds.nyu.edu/probability-...

The deadline to submit a proposal for the CDS Capstone Project is fast approaching! Projects can be submitted through August 2. Tackle your real-world data challenges by partnering with our master’s students this fall.

Should every data science class balance theory and application the same way? CDS Assoc. Prof. of Music Technology & DS Brian McFee said it depends. Proofs in a stats class, hands-on building in a capstone. Either way, in a data science class, you're getting a blend of both.

CDS PhD student Ebrahim Rasromani, NYU Grossman Asst. Prof. Yiqiu Shen, and colleagues show that LLMs can accurately extract pancreatic cyst features from radiology reports, turning clinical text into data for early detection research. nyudatascience.medium.com/pancreatic-c...
