August 18, 2025Model Context Protocol: Why It Matters
Vats, V. (CSE) – Learning to Remember: Multi-Agent Self-Refinement toward Persistent Machine Perception
Modern machine perception is powerful yet brittle: failing in response to subtle data adversaries and lacking mechanisms to learn from their errors. We address this challenge by progressing from diagnosing such failures to developing a framework for persistent learning. We first investigate the sources of this fragility, demonstrating how both naturally occurring adversarial artifacts, like […]
Model Context Protocol: Why It Matters
The Impact of Model Context Protocol Join us for an engaging exploration of the Model Context Protocol—a groundbreaking framework designed to improve communication and context-sharing across AI agents. As AI systems become more modular and collaborative, MCP offers a powerful solution for maintaining continuity across tasks, tools, and models. This free, online event is sponsored […]

Osorio, S. (AM) – Image-Based Wound Infection Classification
This thesis investigates the use of deep learning for classifying wound infections from photographic images, using colony-forming unit (CFU) counts as a quantitative labeling standard. Leveraging the visual information in wound photographs and the clinical relevance of bacterial burden, the study implements a multi-task U-Net architecture for both image reconstruction and binary classification in a […]
Programming with Rust
Join us in learning more about Rust, one of the fastest-growing programming languages, which continues to be ranked the most-loved language by its users. Its user base, aka “Rustaceans,” has tripled in just two years as more and more software products are being developed in Rust. In this fast-paced virtual overview with Danesh Forouhari, we’ll […]
Moreland, Z. (AM) – Transcriptomic and Computational Analysis of Burn and Excisional Wound Healing
Accurate assessment of wound healing progress is critical for optimizing patient care and preventing complications, yet clinicians currently lack precise tools to determine where a wound stands in the healing timeline. Wound healing progresses through overlapping stages of inflammation, proliferation, and maturation, each marked by characteristic shifts in gene expression that are difficult to interpret […]
Bhatia, N. (CSE) – Building Adaptive Intelligence into Wireless Sensing
WiFi-based indoor positioning is a widely researched area focused on determining the location of devices. Accurate indoor positioning has numerous applications, including asset tracking and indoor navigation. Despite advances, their adoption in practice remains limited due to several challenges such as environmental changes that cause signal fading, multipath effects, and interference, all of which reduce […]
Swaby, A. (ECE) – Improving X-ray Medical Imaging using Amorphous Selenium as a Photoconductive Layer
The presence of coronary artery calcification is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events where cardiac risk categories are quantified depending on calcification size. Dual-energy chest X-rays provide high contrast visualization to improve opportunistic screening for quantifying coronary artery calcifications, determining bone mineral density (i.e., osteoporosis) and characterizing lung lesions. As a dual-energy imaging modality, […]

Briden, M. (CSE) – Representation Learning and Generative Forecasting for Noisy and Limited Clinical Data: Applications in Wound Healing and EEG
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning into clinical practice has driven advances in disease classification, segmentation, and clinical decision support. However, the complexities of medical data pose a challenge to widespread adoption. The rarity of medical conditions, ethical considerations, and varying acquisition protocols leads to limited and noisy data. The time-intensive process […]

Lei, K. (CMPM) – Designing for Meaningful Large-Scale Online Communication, Connection, and Collective Insight
Digital technologies have made large-scale online interaction a central part of how people communicate, connect, and work together. Yet scaling often comes at the cost of depth, and interactions can become superficial and chaotic, drifting away from the richer interactional contexts of small-scale or in-person settings that support trust and meaningful exchange, and that make […]
