Chang-Tien “C.T.” Lu, Dimitrios Nikolopoulos, and Naren Ramakrishnan, all faculty in the Department of Computer Science, have been elected to the 2024 class of fellows in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).  To be named a fellow, IEEE members must demonstrate significant contributions to their field, show evidence of technical accomplishments and realization of […]

Researchers at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute recently created the nationwide multi-train simulation software, NeTrainSim, to show the impacts of a countrywide shift away from diesel. Ahmed Aredah, a graduate student at the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, is working on the project led by Hesham Rakha.

Aadyant Khatri is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science.  He is advised by Chang-Tien Lu. His research is focused on the natural language processing aspect of artificial intelligence. Specifically, he is working with large language models.

Kaike Ping is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science.  His advisor is Eugenia Rho. Ping’s  broad research interest is in natural language processing and computational social science, with a focus on human-computer interaction  in developing and evaluating an interactive artificial intelligence system to assist people.

Faizan Manzoor is a master’s degree student in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His advisor is Ming Jin. His research lies in developing a machine learning based intrusion detection system that leverages in-context learning capabilities of large language models for the cyber security of substations.

Virginia Tech researchers have discovered limitations in ChatGPT’s capacity to provide location-specific information about environmental justice issues. Their findings, published in the journal Telematics and Informatics, suggest the potential for geographic biases existing in current generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. Ismini Lourentzou, assistant professor in the College of Engineering and core faculty at the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data […]
