Abstract

This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program. The University of Florida will host a new REU site that will train students on research in Intelligent Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction. By becoming deeply involved in research projects and participating as members of cutting-edge research labs, students will: 1) develop research skills through authentic research experiences and targeted training; 2) strengthen preparation for completing the baccalaureate degree in computer science or a related discipline; 3) increase preparation for applying to and entering doctoral programs; and 4) create and disseminate novel innovations through collaborative research and publications with graduate student and faculty mentors.
