AI-Driven Carotid Ultrasound Advancements: Redefining Stroke Risk Assessment in 3D

Stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, often results from the rupture of dangerous fatty deposits, known as plaques, in the neck arteries. The current method of assessing stroke risk using 2D ultrasound is limited by operator dependency and lacks a 3D structure assessment, leading to misdiagnoses and re-scans. Our project aims to […]

Expressive Speech-to-Face

This project aims to enable controllable generation of expressive, speech-driven facial animation in video games and multimedia. Current methods use procedural tools to animate mouth movements given speech clips, but they lack realism. This research proposes to develop a new approach for controllable speech-driven facial animations, combining the realism of recent mesh deformation methods with […]

Dynamic Trust Modeling in Federated Learning Through Balancing Utility and Privacy

The surge in data-intensive machine learning (ML) applications necessitates effective incentives for data owners (DOs) to contribute data and train ML models collaboratively. The decision to participate in collaboration depends on the balance between utility gains and privacy loss. This project focuses on federated learning (FL), where DOs participate in collaborative learning without sharing raw […]

The Impacts of Driver Monitoring Systems on Mitigating Drowsiness Due to Conditional Automation

Driving automation is becoming increasingly available with the advancement in sensors and computational power. The next generation, i.e., conditional automation, allows drivers to engage in other activities like sleeping. If the system cannot operate in certain conditions due to limitations, the driver is required to takeover vehicle control. However, sleepy drivers might not be fit […]
