Michael Clemens awarded NSF GRFP
Graduate Computing student and QED Lab Member Michael Clemens has been selected to receive a 2019 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (NSF GRFP). Michael is studying how to use musical play to teach computer science to 5th through 8th graders who are vision or hearing impaired. As the oldest graduate fellowship of its kind, the GRFP has a long history of selecting recipients who achieve high levels of success in their future academic and professional careers. This highly competitive fellowship provides the recipient with financial support for three years, over a five-year fellowship period.
New Paper: Desiderata for a Computational Model of Human Online Narrative Sensemaking
Rogelio E. Cardona-Rivera (QED Lab Director) and R. Michael Young have had their paper Desiderata for a Computational Model of Human Online Narrative Sensemaking accepted for publication at the 2019 AAAI Spring Symposium on Story-enabled Intelligence. The paper presents a set of constraints that computational models ought to satisfy should they purport to represent/encode the cognitive processes involved in online (i.e. during reading/viewing) human narrative sensemaking.
