Research: Centers, Labs, and Programs
Computer Graphics and Visualization Group
Building technology that lets you step into photographs. By capturing stereo-panoramas at resolutions above 100 Megapixels, virtual reality becomes reality. We are testing and developing a variety of 360′ stereo capture devices to allow for real-time navigation in photo realistic environments.

Information Security, Privacy, and Mining Group
The main goal of the Information Security, Privacy, and Mining (ISPM) Research Lab is to carry out research in areas of cyber-security. ISPM aims at designing secure and privacy-preserving protocols for distributed data mining, integration, and publishing. It also aims at developing tools and systems for solving real-life problems related to cyber forensic, digital currencies, and cloud computing.

Speech, Language & Interactive Machines Group
The SLIM group has a theoretical as well as a practical aspect to it. We draw inspiration from linguistics and psychology to help guide our theoretical research and develop computational models of all aspects of spoken dialogue. We then implement practical dialogue systems (e.g., as digital personal assistants, robot commands, conversational chatbots, etc.) to evaluated the theories and improve people’s lives.
