SoC's Assistant Professor of Computer Science Dr. Ninghao Liu won Distinguished Paper Award for his co-authored paper "MKRAG: Medical Knowledge Retrieval Augmented Generation for Medical Question Answering" at the recent American Medical Informatics Association 2024 Annual Symposium in San Francisco.    Dr. Liu and his team developed a unique method to retrieve and inject domain knowledge into large language models (LLMs) for…

A recent article published by Nature Medicine introduces the world to a recently discovered open-source visual-language foundation model BiomedGPT that has been used for various biomedical applications in the field. As we have witnessed the rise of AI use in various technologies over the past year Dr. Tianming Liu's research team has used this idea and collaborated on using AI techniques in solving tasks within the biomedical field such as…

The University of Georgia received a five-year, $10 million grant from the Institute of Education Sciences to establish a research and development center that will provide national leadership on best practices for using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in schools, strengthening competence in GenAI in middle school science classrooms. This project is led by Xiaoming Zhai, an associate professor at the UGA Mary Frances Early College…

Dr. In Kee Kim's research team, with international collaborators, has received the Best Paper Award at IEEE EDGE 2024, held from July 7 to 13 in Shenzhen, China. The award-winning paper is titled “Characterizing Deep Learning Model Compression with Post-Training Quantization on Accelerated Edge Devices.” This work is the first comprehensive characterization study of online model compression on resource-constrained edge devices. The team…

Our very own School of Computing Professor and Associate Director Dr. Lakshmish Ramaswamy with help from Assistant Professor Dr. In Kee Kim and Professor Dr. Suchendra Bhandarkar working with colleagues within the University of Georgia on a new tool to aid first-responders from Climate Change called GeoAI. GeoAI is an artificial intelligence real-time tool that will allow first-responders to react to changes to land around the world resulting…

An article published by TheRed&Black, UGA and Athens' non-profit news source, is about the School of Computing's own Research Day! The article goes into great detail about Dr. Essa's keynote speech and gives a nice summarized account of the rest of the events that happened on Research day. We would like to give thanks to Doctors Aprinar, Ramaswamy and Agrawal for creating and hosting Research Day and thank you to all our students and faculty…

Profs. Ramviyas Parasuraman (PI) and Prashant Doshi (Co-PI) received a new grant from the U.S. Army Research Lab for the project titled "Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems". This is a 3-year grant with a $1.68 million budget. Under this project, the PIs will explore fundamental research in enabling autonomous robots and AI agents to form a cooperative team with robust localization, decision-making, and learning algorithms under adversarial…

Professor Prashant Doshi is leading a three-way research collaboration on a new $1.2M NSF grant with colleagues at the Universities of Nebraska-Lincoln and Oberlin College in Ohio. The grant will support research in AI and focuses on better understanding open multi-agent systems and how agents can engage in planning and learning in such dynamic and highly uncertain contexts. This grant will help build on the increased AI research footprint in…

Drs. Khaled Rasheed and Tianming Liu, along with a group of fellow UGA professors, have secured a grant from the National Institute of Health for their project titled "Digital Mobile Technologies to Study Tuberculosis: A Multi-disciplinary Approach" The focus of this research will be on controlling tuberculosis in Africa which has a devastating effect on the population every year. The award will support two Ugandan pre-doctoral students to…

Dr. Tianming Liu, a distinguished research professor from the School of Computing, was recently interviewed alongside Dr. John Gibbs, an associate professor from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies. The University of Georgia’s Office of Research communications team sat down for a roundtable discussion on the benefits and potential problems associated with current AI, ChatGPT in particular.
