By Patrick Traynor, Ph.D., professor and John H. and Mary Lou Dasburg Preeminent Chair in Engineering, and Logan Blue, a Ph.D. student. This story originally appeared in The Conversation. Imagine the following scenario. A phone rings. An office worker answers it and hears his boss, in a panic, tell him that she forgot to transfer […]

The explosive growth of diversified scientific data has reaped unprecedented advancements in scientific discovery and engineering. Unfortunately, it is difficult to relate data from one scientific problem to another without a unified approach to the mathematics of scientific modeling. A multidisciplinary team of researchers led by engineering faculty at the University of Florida hopes to […]

Bonnie Dorr, Ph.D., joined the faculty as a professor at the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) in Spring 2022. Her research and project management experience includes deep-language understanding and semantics, large-scale multilingual processing, and summarization. She has carried out seminal work in cross-language divergence detection, machine translation, paraphrasing and automatic evaluation […]

UF researchers and students hold summer camp for local children to make AI more accessible.   Soccer-bot, stress-bot and fashion-bot are just three examples of conversational apps created by middle schoolers using a unique digital interface developed by University of Florida researchers. AMBY, which stands for AI Made By You, […]

Computing has never been more important to our daily lives than it is today. Videoconferencing has become ubiquitous for almost the entire population and access to technology and virtual worlds have become a necessity for all rather than a privilege reserved for certain populations. However, throughout this rapid evolution in computing, it is increasingly apparent […]

A four-year grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), and National Institute on Aging (NIA) has been awarded to Baba C. Vemuri, Ph.D., the Wilson and Marie Collins Professor in Engineering at the University of Florida (UF), to resolve the limitations of MRI for the purpose […]
