What if researchers could understand an older adult’s health and well-being not just during an occasional doctor’s visit, but continuously — in the context of everyday life? CISE Distinguished Professor Sanjay Ranka and College of Medicine Professor Todd Manini are part of G-CARE, a new research platform designed to bring that idea closer to reality.

CISE launched a Master of Science in Computer Science with AI and cybersecurity concentrations at the UF Jacksonville campus.

Each summer, Sanethia Thomas, Ph.D., brings UF students to South Africa to create tech solutions for community problems. 

Incorporating interest-based learning into LLM-based tutors, Abhishek Kulkarni, Ph.D., is working to make them more engaging for students. 

Yuanyuan Lei, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Computer & Information Science and Engineering, or CISE, and researchers in her lab are uncovering the internal mechanisms that support logical reasoning and using that understanding to make LLMs more precise and efficient.

Computer & Information Science & Engineering Professor Emeritus Gerhard X. Ritter, Ph.D., died while in hospice care near his Gainesville home in March. He was 89 years old. 

Researchers evaluated four common ways people provide feedback to AI systems, revealing a tradeoff between model accuracy and the effort required from users.

Kevin R.B. Butler, Ph.D., has been named the chair of the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering, or CISE.
