“NEZHA: Efficient Domain-Independent Differential Testing” won a 2nd place prize at the 14th Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW). Put on by NYU, CSAW is world’s largest student-run cybersecurity event, featuring competitions, workshops, and industry events.
Researchers create an algorithm that computes a reflector shape that boosts signals for desired indoor areas while weakening them elsewhere. The reflector can be 3D-printed for $35. Limiting signal coverage also helps prevent nearby cyberattacks.
The symposium, to be held in Rio de Janeiro, November 8-10, examines the enormous promise of AI technologies as well as the risk that uneven access to AI may amplify digital inequalities across the world.
The Early Innovator Award conferred at this year’s International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) recognizes “A touring machine: Prototyping 3D mobile … Continue reading Paper coauthored by Steven Feiner earns inaugural Early Innovator Award at ISWC 2017
The paper, widely covered in the press, describes an automatic method for error-checking thousands to millions of neurons in a deep-learning neural network. Authors are Kexin Pei, Yinzhi Cao (Lehigh), Junfeng Yang, Suman Jana.
Developed by Kexin Pei, Yinzhi Cao (Lehigh), Junfeng Yang, and Suman Jana, DeepXplore error-checks thousands to millions of neurons in deep learning neural networks. In tests, DeepXplore found thousands of bugs missed by previous methods.
To uniquely identify and encode information in printed objects, Columbia researchers Dingzeyu Li, Avinash S. Nair, Shree K. Nayar, and … Continue reading Invisible, machine-readable AirCode tags make tagging objects part of 3D-fabrication process
Interviewed by Columbia Technology Ventures (CTV), Allen discusses his recent work on surgical robots and how incorporating big data, machine learning, and computer vision is contributing to smarter robots able to cope with the unexpected.
To end his talk “Can we store all of world’s data on a pickup truck,” Erlich makes bold prediction that DNA storage could be cheaper than magnetic storage within a decade.
With the national average slightly below 20%, Columbia’s relatively high percentage of women CS majors in the 2016-2017 academic year ranks it among the top US universities in attracting women to computer science.
“Travel in Large-Scale Head-Worn VR” teleports users through virtual environments by allowing them to determine orientation in advance. Another project from Feiner’s lab, “Remote Collaboration in AR and VR Using Virtual Replicas” won a third place … Continue reading Team from Steven Feiner’s lab wins Grand Prize at NYC Media Lab Summit
The paper describes the aircode technique to physically tag 3D-printed objects with information using carefully designed air pockets inserted beneath an object’s surface. UIST, a top venue for HCI, will be held October 22-25.
The claim aroused concerns about genomic privacy. But in a paper posted to BioRxiv, Erlich matched people to their genomes using easily accessible demographic data, showing Venter’s warning about serious privacy risks to be overstated.
A faculty affiliate of the CS Department, Venkatasubramanian synthesizes concepts from economics, political philosophy, game theory, statistical mechanics, and systems engineering into a quantitative theory for maximizing fairness in free-market capitalism.
“The Role of Conversation Context for Sarcasm Detection in Online Interactions” considers the larger context of online conversations to accurately detect sarcasm while also identifying what triggered a sarcastic reply.
