Using a new $2.8 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), researchers in the University of Florida Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE) will work to augment human cognition by providing task guidance through augmented reality (AR) headset technology in extreme environments, including high hazard and risky operations. The […]

Sanjay Ranka, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Computer & Information Science & Engineering (CISE), was recently awarded a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop technology that will monitor high-risk intersections in Gainesville, FL, to make roadways safer. The project, “Video Based Machine Learning for Smart Traffic Analysis and Management,” […]

In today’s increasingly connected world, the sheer volume of messages we receive on any subject, including speech, images, video and metadata, as well as text imbedded in images and videos, is mind-boggling. When something unexpected happens, government policy analysts need to inform and advise our nation’s leaders about the causes and effects immediately. Trying to […]

Baba C. Vemuri, Ph.D., the recently named Wilson and Marie Collins Professor in Engineering at the University of Florida, received a grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Collaborative Research for Computational Neuroscience program titled, “Automated Analysis of Movement Disorders from Diffusion and Functional MRI.” “Dr. Vemuri’s work in neuroimaging and computer vision is groundbreaking. […]

Grant Abstract: This grant supports the collaborative research efforts of an interdisciplinary team comprising pure mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, and physics on some problems in materials science. The world is full of many varied structures, […]

We live in a world where massive amounts of data are currently available to us. In 2013, the size of the digital universe was estimated to be near 5 zettabytes (1 zettabyte = 1 million terabytes) and is expected to quadruple by 2020. Like the physical world, the information in it is diverse – created […]
