Welcome to the official Twitter for Computer Science and Engineering @UMich!

Our previous account, @EECSatMI, is being discontinued. Follow us for news and messages from the CSE division, and follow @UmichECE for messages from the ECE division. #GoBlue!

If you're new to CSE get to know us a little in this thread – we'll feature some of the cool news and research that's come out of the division so far in 2020.

Technologies built on #MachineLearning are trained on human speech — recordings of conversations.

A team of researchers have demonstrated a method to "unlearn" sensitive personal identifiers before this audio is ever stored.

Elections using ballot-marking devices require voters to verify summary receipts to identify errors. The problem? A report published by a U-M team shows up to 93% of voters don't catch mistakes.

A commercial network filter is all a country or ISP needs to implement large-scale censorship — a framework designed by CSE researchers has discovered this practice in 103 countries around the globe.

Hardware accelerators are a readily-available way to help us get around the end of Moore's Law – and thanks to work in CSE, old programs can be automatically translated to put them to use.

A number of labs throughout CSE have mobilized to help better handle the #COVID19 crisis in a variety of ways.

Take a look at 5 of these projects that put #AI to use:
