VE Group Has 3 Papers Accepted in Highly Selective IEEE VR 2021 Conference
Graduate students Rohith and Roshan Venkatakrishnan, Dr. Sab Babu, and collaborators produced a paper titled, “Comparative Evaluation of Digital Writing and Art in Real and Immersive Virtual Environments.” In this project the authors built a one-of-a-kind simulation to study how perception-action coordination and motor control affected digital writing, coloring, sketching, tracing, and drawing in VR and real-world situations.
Collective Intelligence: Technology Enhances Teamwork
Collective intelligence focuses on the ways in which technology can enhance teamwork by enabling groups of people to arrive at insights that escape the experts. Research in the School of Computing focuses on the intersection between collective intelligence and machine learning, specifically in the context of humans and AI working together as a team. The work combines unique and often creative insights that different configurations of human-machine teams can arrive at even in domains where the problems are too complex for the AI alone to solve.
CECAS Employee Honoree Adam Rollins
Faculty and students in the School of Computing say that our next honoree has made their lives easier. He plays a critical role in connecting incoming graduate students with faculty members. He has gone above and beyond by establishing an application tracker that allows faculty to efficiently review applications, share notes, and score applicants to […]
Amazon and Google Teams Recognize Voice Privacy Policy Research
A comprehensive privacy policy analysis of voice applications on Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant platforms by Clemson researchers has received recognitions from both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant teams. The results show that a substantial number of problematic privacy policies exist in these two mainstream voice assistant platforms. Google awarded the team a bug bounty for reporting the discovery.
Detecting IoT Malware Using Deep-Learning
The faculty team of Drs. Hongxin Hu, Feng Luo, Long Cheng, Hai Xiao, and Rong Ge are tackling the problem of detecting malware in the Internet of Things through non-intrusive and Deep Learning-based methods on power side channels. The vulnerability of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to malware attacks poses huge challenges to current Internet […]
Lossy Compression Research Helps Supercomputers Communicate Faster
Computer Science PhD student Robert Underwood is tackling the critical problem of moving and storing the ever growing volume of data produced in things like physics and climate simulations, intelligent transportation systems, and medicine, by using compression to reducing the volume of data as it is moved and stored. His work makes a type of […]
