GAMUT is a prototype to help people explore General Additive Models, an class of interpretable machine learning models. We’ve included an interactive web site which allows people to explore the models for different data sets. The prototype lets people explore…
Fashion, clothing, and wearables are a new frontier in technology. Project Brookdale is a set of technologies designed to enable fashion designers to embed smart technology within their designs, without having to know a lot about technology.
The Mt. Rogers research project is focused on improving traditional productivity tasks in mixed reality environments. It allows users to put on a head-mounted display and surround themselves with as many virtual monitors as is useful.

The goal of device design is to overcome the device, room, and noise effects, ultimately producing a clean audio signal good enough for people and machines to understand.
Microsoft SEAL—powered by open-source homomorphic encryption technology—provides a set of encryption libraries that allow computations to be performed directly on encrypted data.
Project Prometheus is building faster, more efficient datacenter systems by co-designing distributed systems with new network primitives. Prometheus takes advantage of new programmable hardware to accelerate applications.
Web search is an important modern literacy skill, necessary for fully participating in many aspects of society including education, employment, commerce, and entertainment. However, web search is particularly challenging for people with print disabilities, such as visual or cognitive impairments.…
This project examines how workplaces and productivity tools can be made more inclusive to people of all abilities, including tools for remote work.
