  • CAIAS Researcher Tao Wu Has Two Papers Accepted to AAAI 2024

    CAIAS Researcher Tao Wu has had not one but two separate papers accepted to the AAAI 2024 conference held in Vancouver, BC, Canada in February 2024. Competitive conferences such as AAAI have a relatively low acceptance rate of papers that are submitted each year both by virtue of the volume of papers submitted by authors… Read more

  • Army Research Office Leonard Wood Institute Project

    Project Summary The CAIAS is collaborating with the Army Research Office (ARO) via the Leonard Wood Institute (LWI) of Fort Leonard Wood to conduct research in scalable and lifelong machine learning for infrared computer vision edge applications. This research collaboration has resulted in the development of the novel Meta-iCVI method (paper, preprint) for generating metrics… Read more

  • Honeywell’s Kansas City Nuclear Security Campus Research Project

    Project Summary The CAIAS collaborated with Honeywell’s Kansas City Nuclear Security Campus (KCNSC) to conduct research on knowledge graphs, ontologies, graph neural networks, and Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART). This work explored the use of ART clustering algorithms on purely symbolic data of variable feature dimensionality, resulting in the submission of a research article to a… Read more
