Visual Analytics for Financial Risk Year Two

The second project also relates to the application of VA to financial systemic risk analytics. The report on the NSF-funded workshop on Next-Generation Community for Financial Cyberinfrastructure for Managing Systemic Risk identifies the need to develop robust simulations and computational models in order to manage systemic risk. Many of these are in the form of […]

Automatic segmentation of pelvic bones in Dixon MRI

Being able to analyze a 3D model of a patient’s pelvic bones allows doctors to plan surgeries and diagnosis diseases. With continued improvements in medical imaging and machine learning, it is now fast and accurate to produce these models. However, current techniques rely on CT scans that emit ionizing radiation. This type of radiation is […]

Emotional Support Drone

Recent work in the human-robot interaction community has revealed drones as social entities with emotional capabilities, beyond their initial status of mechanical objects. We build upon this work and envision drones as emotional support technology. To evaluate the validity of this concept, we outlined a design space for Emotional Support Drones (ESD) in our preliminary […]
