IRS Stares Technological Advancement Issues in the Face
Almost every American is used to sharing information with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), but people were about to become eerily intimate with the agency after they announced the launch of a new website requirement: live video identity verification. The agency partnered with the third-party company ID.me to prevent scammers from benefiting off of the […]
Lighting the Way Forward for Autonomous Vehicles
CISE Faculty Affiliate Ajay Joshi with collaborators at Lightmatter and Harvard University receive $4.8M IARPA grant to develop a new Electro-Photonic Computing (EPiC) system for AI-based navigation in Autonomous Vehicles Anyone who has ever been behind the wheel of a car knows that response time is crucial. The human sensory system needs to be fully engaged in order […]
Machine learning reveals new factor for predicting a stroke survivor’s ability to regain language skills
Despite centuries of study, the human brain remains one of science’s greatest mysteries. Most research focuses on how the brain responds to change, but researchers are beginning to shift from studying the effect of the brain injury to recovery and healing. Neuroscientists and computer scientists at Boston University (BU) teamed up to create a method […]
CISE Faculty Spotlight: Brian Kulis
The powers of machine learning in Amazon Alexa and music generation Every day millions of people look something up online. It’s become a habit, a part of our lives that we take for granted– and we can thank machine learning for that. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that works with computer algorithms. […]
Faculty Spotlight: Alex Olshevsky
Easing the Economic Strain of COVID-19 Lockdowns At the start of the pandemic, CISE Faculty Affiliate Alex Olshevsky (ECE) started developing models to find the best way to lockdown regions to control the spread of the virus. He had previously been working on multi-agent control, which he described as “a collection of robots that want […]
SHF: Small: Architecting the COSMOS:A Combined System of Optical Phase Change Memory and Optical Links
Today’s data-intensive applications that use graph processing, machine learning or privacy-preserving paradigms demand memory sizes on the order of hundreds of GigaBytes and bandwidths on the order of TeraBytes per second. To support the ever-growing memory needs of the applications, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) systems have evolved over the decades. However, DRAM will not […]
High-Fidelity Self-Learning Tool for Residential Load and Load Flexibility Forecasting
The project will research, develop, and demonstrate technology that enables the modulation of controllable household loads, to provide multiple grid services, including peak capacity management, ramp support, and frequency regulation. We will show how the fusion of data from multiple sources, including communicating thermostats, smart appliances, weather forecasts, utility bills, solar production data, and interval […]
Collaborative Research: CNS: Medium: Scalable Learning from Distributed Data for Wireless Network Management
The transition to 5G is expected to witness not only an emergence of new applications such as mobile augmented and virtual reality, but also opens up the attack surface to both known, and previously unknown threats. Thus, wireless networks of the future will need better control and management at different temporal and traffic aggregation granularities […]
Stealth Driverless Cars without Visible Light?
CISE Faculty Affiliate Professor Vivek Goyal (ECE) recently received a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) subaward for his work in connection with the agency’s Invisible Headlights program. Professor Goyal is working under an award to MIT entitled, Super Headlights: Superconducting Nanowire Detectors for Passive Infrared Sensing. The DARPA Invisible Headlights program has a very […]
Professor Coskun and Team Will Collaborate with Sandia Labs on Applying AI to HPC
Professors Ayse Coskun, Manuel Egele, and Brian Kulis in ECE have received a $500K grant from Sandia National Labs for their project “Al-based Scalable Analytics for Improving Performance, Resilience, and Security of HPC Systems”. HPC refers to High Performance Computing. This is the practice of collecting computing power so that a large system delivers high […]
