Real-Time Captcha Technique Improves Biometric Authentication | College of Computing

A short write-up on one of my recent publications. A new login authentication approach could improve the security of current biometric techniques that rely on video or images of users’ faces. Known as Real-Time Captcha, the technique uses a unique challenge that’s easy for humans — but difficult for attackers who may be using machine learning […]

Paper in IPCAI 2017 on "Video and Accelerometer-Based Motion Analysis for Automated Surgical Skills Assessment"

Paper Abstract Purpose: Basic surgical skills of suturing and knot tying are an essential part of medical training. Having an automated system for surgical skills assessment could help save experts time and improve training efficiency. There have been some recent attempts at automated surgical skills assessment using either video analysis or acceleration data. In this […]

Paper in AAAI's ICWSM (2017) "Selfie-Presentation in Everyday Life: A Large-Scale Characterization of Selfie Contexts on Instagram"

Paper Abstract Carefully managing the presentation of self via technology is a core practice on all modern social media platforms. Recently, selfies have emerged as a new, pervasive genre of identity performance. In many ways unique, selfies bring us full circle to Goffman—blending the online and offline selves together. In this paper, we take an […]
