Dr. Greg Shakhnarovich hosted a regional computer vision meeting, the 3rd Illinois Vision Workshop, on Tuesday, December 1. About fifty people from the Midwest and farther away participated. Among the institutions and companies represented, in addition to TTIC, were the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, the University of Illinois Chicago, Northwestern, the University of Michigan, University of Missouri, UC Berkeley, Microsoft Research, Carnegie Mellon, Eastman Kodak, and Cornell.


Karen Livescu is the recipient of a grant funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), on which she is the Principal Investigator (PI). The grant is in collaboration with co-PIs Jeff Bilmes (University of Washington) and Eric Fosler-Lussier (Ohio State University). The award covers three years and focuses on statistical models of speech based on articulatory features (such as locations of the tongue, lips, and so on).


TTIC's Julia Chuzhoy is the recipient of the prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant. The grant is awarded by the National Science Foundation to support junior faculty in their research and educational activities. The NSF website states, "The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who 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".

Julia's project focuses on the development of approximation algorithms and lower bounds for network optimization problems.
