CML: In The News |
CML faculty Xiaohui Xie and Chen Li awarded $662k NIH grant
Computer science faculty Xiaohui Xie and Chen Li have been awarded a three-year grant of nearly $662,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop new computational tools essential for future advances in sequencing human genomes. The primary goal of the NIH-funded research is to develop computational algorithms and open-source software to improve both the efficiency and accuracy of next-generation sequencing analysis tools and expand the accessibility of those tools to previously understudied regions of the genome. CML professor Charless Fowlkes receives NSF CAREER Award
Charless Fowlkes, assistant professor of computer science, has been awarded the National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his project, "Combinatorial Inference and Learning for Fusing Recognition and Perceptual Grouping." The CAREER program is NSF's most prestigious award for junior faculty members. Awardees are chosen because they exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. Former CML PhD student Seyoung Kim awarded $50k Sloan Research Fellowship
Seyoung Kim, an assistant professor in the Lane Center for Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University, was awarded the prestigious Sloan Fellowship for pushing frontiers of research. Kim earned her PhD in computer science at UCI in 2007. She is interested in developing statistical machine learning tools for analyzing large-scale genomic data and investigating biological systems of various organisms and disease processes using these tools. CML members make strong showing at 2012 UAI conference
CML researchers showed up in force at the Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence, held August 2012 on Catalina Island, California. Their contributions include six accepted papers, an oral presentation, and several poster spotlights. Collaborations among current and former CML members also won the top spot in every category of the associated Pascal Approximate Inference Competition.
