Probabilistic Inference Modulo Theories
We present SGDPLL(T ), an algorithm that solves probabilistic inference modulo theories, that is, inference problems over probabilistic models defined via a logic theory provided as a parameter.

Report Tackles Assessment Design for Next Generation Science Standards
If the new science standards could be summed up in one grand sentence, it would likely be – “It is not what you know, but how you use and apply what you know that makes a real difference for science learning.” The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize that all students should learn science by…

Automatic Speaker Recognition for Authenticating Users in the Internet of Things
Our world is becoming increasingly mobile. People rely on their mobile devices not only for communication, but for applications from commerce, to home automation and security, to banking, to entertainment, just to name a few. Coupled with today’s expanding environment of web-connected “smart” devices—known as the Internet of Things (IoT)—it’s more critical than ever for…
