Hamed Mohsenian-Rad, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, received the Technical Achievement Award from the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Communications Society. The Award Plaque, which is signed by the President of the IEEE Communications Society, was presented to Prof. Mohsenian-Rad in recognition of his "Pioneering Contributions to Optimization and Data Analytics in...
The video computing group led by Prof. Amit Roy-Chowdhury has recently developed a new method that can detect manipulated facial expressions in deepfake videos with higher accuracy than current state-of-the-art methods. The method also works as well as current methods in cases where the facial identity, but not the expression, has been swapped, leading to...
Assistant Professor Basak Guler receives a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award to develop private, secure and trustworthy machine learning applications. NSF CAREER awards are awarded to assistant professors to fund research that is expected to form a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating research and education. Collaborative machine learning allows multiple...
Assistant Professor Xi Chen receives National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award for a project titled "CAREER: Understanding the Size Effects on Spin-mediated Thermal Transport in Nanostructured Quantum Magnets.” Heat transport mediated by spin excitations (i.e., thermal excitations of electrons’ spin structure) provides a highly efficient mode of heat conduction in some magnetic materials. This spin-mediated...
Deep neural networks, or DNNs — layers of algorithms that perform computations in an orderly progression to make the apps work — need to be optimized for each device. On other devices, it can take longer for the DNN to perform computations, causing the app to lag. This lag is known to computer scientists as...
Under an optical microscope, carbon nanotubes, for example, look grayish. The inability to distinguish fine details and differences between individual pieces of nanomaterials makes it hard for scientists to study their unique properties and discover ways to perfect them for industrial use. In a new report in Nature Communications, researchers from UC Riverside describe a...
