Research on Robust Face Recognition Algorithms

In recent years, face recognition algorithms based on deep neural networks have achieved human-level performance when tested on face recognition database. However, when put into real-world application, those algorithms are not robust enough, due to factors such as different lighting conditions, camera distance, and face orientations. In this project, the university team and the partner […]

Proximity detection using Bluetooth-enabled devices for mobile-based authentication

Mobile-based authentication is a strong authentication method as the password-based authentication is no longer adequate. Mobile-based authentication authenticates users based on proximity awareness to their Bluetooth-enabled devices and immediately locks the secure services (e.g., personal computers) when the users leave the vicinity with their devices. By exchanging the beacon signals and measuring the received Bluetooth […]

Using Machine Learning to Optimize a Workflow Management System.

Workflow management frameworks support the creation of task dependencies and make efficient use of resources while running those workloads. Typically, these tasks can be long running processes like machine learning algorithms or access data from databases. Workflow management consists of mapping tasks to suitable resources and the management of workflow execution in a cloud environment. […]

Automated Impact Analyses to Support Code Review Practices

Large software systems are updated incrementally to add new features or fix bugs. It is a common practice in the software industry to have each incremental change reviewed by a peer to detect software quality issues and transfer knowledge among team members. While peer review boasts technical and non-technical benefits, it is still primarily based […]
