In this episode of “Composers & Computers,” Jordan does something remarkable: He recreates a lost computer composition from his Princeton undergraduate days, and premieres it here for the first time.

There was no recruitment system for faculty jobs, the application requirements were vague, and the competition was fierce. Simeni felt lost. The following year, he found the Princeton Pathways into the Academy (PPIA) Program offered by Princeton Engineering’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Joining a cohort of early-career researchers and Ph.D. students from Princeton and…

“The safety mechanisms that should prevent harm are very fragile,” said Prateek Mittal, professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-principal investigator on the paper. “We were able to connect a range of possible attack strategies to one underlying concept.” The issue stems from the fact that a chatbot’s built-in safety mechanisms prioritize filtering only…

The findings, reported Sept. 24 in the journal Water Research, are a step toward making  hydrogen a practical pathway to decarbonize industries that are difficult to electrify, such as steel and fertilizer production. Z. Jason Ren, the senior study author, said that current electrolytic hydrogen production requires a large amount of clean water, increasing costs…

The blurry boundary between liquid and solid is ripe for exploration in both engineering and art, says Lauren Dreier, a graduate student who has worked in media including textiles and robotics.

Now, researchers have introduced a technique for compressing an LLM’s reams of data, which could increase privacy, save energy and lower costs. The new algorithm, developed by engineers at Princeton and Stanford Engineering, works by trimming redundancies and reducing the precision of an LLM’s layers of information. This type of leaner LLM could be stored…

Just when it seemed there was nothing new to be done in digital music, Princeton engineers and musicians collaborated to create a whole new genre of music and digital creative expression. Meet the Princeton Laptop Orchestra.

“Any instability can lead to significant engineering applications,” said Jonghyung Hwang, graduate student in mechanical and aerospace engineering. The researchers found that when a super-soft solid squeezes through a narrow gap, the material’s surface forms a pattern resembling a furrowed field. The furrows result from the material continually turning its body inside out and releasing…

Experts in algorithms and their social impacts discuss their study of the Google Search engine, including the subtle – and not-so-subtle – ways in which it shows bias and perpetuates stereotypes.
