20/20 Research in Focus presents: Intelligence

RIT’s CREW presents 20/20 Research in Focus: Intelligence. This talk will feature four faculty speakers as well as refreshments and networking time after the presentations. Ifeoma Nwogu, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor in GCCIS will be presenting a talk entitled What’s in a Face? In this talk, we will discuss approaches for performing face image analysis using the facial action coding system (CFACS) and variants of it such as emFACS. We will also discuss other more abstract computational approaches such as deep learning for learning shared face features and share our findings. Josephine Wolff, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor in the College of Liberal Arts will be presenting a talk entitled “Making Intelligent Decisions about Security Controls and Measurement”. This presentation will focus on how organizations make decisions about what security controls to implement and what the consequences-intended and otherwise- of those decisions are. Joy Olabisi, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor in the College of Business will be presenting a talk entitled “Intelligent Teaming: Exploring the Effectiveness of Multiteam Systems”. Dr. Olabisi will present a conceptualization of multiteams (or teams of teams) using a unique form of collective cognition known as a transactive memory system (TMS). She will also discuss performance implications of utilizing this multiteam TMS. Rachel Silvestrini, Ph.D., an Associate Professor in KGCOE will be presenting a talk entitled “Intelligent Experimentation” in which she highlights her work and research and interests in the area of Statistical Design of Experiments. She will present theoretical concepts as well as application areas. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grants 0811076 and #1209115.
