  • Additive Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Objects: A Review

    In this paper, we focus on providing an overview of research at the intersection of AM techniques and FGM objects.

  • Evaluating and Understanding STEM Teaching and Learning in Early Childhood

    Evaluating and Understanding STEM Teaching and Learning in Early Childhood

    SRI Education, a division of SRI International, has been at the forefront of much of this research on early STEM. SRI’s work in early STEM can be broadly categorized into three areas that compliment and inform each other: research and development efforts, evaluations, and assessment initiatives.

  • Relational Similarity Machines

    In this work, we propose Relational Similarity Machines (RSM) a fast, accurate, and flexible relational learning framework for supervised and semi-supervised classification problems.

  • Technology for Learning Mathematics: What Can We Learn from Large-Scale Studies?

    Technology for Learning Mathematics: What Can We Learn from Large-Scale Studies?

    At SRI, our vision for changing the world in mathematics education has been to “democratize access to advanced mathematics” through high quality implementations of powerful learning technologies.

  • Combining Expertise to Battle Zika

    Combining Expertise to Battle Zika

    From its inception, SRI International was structured to encourage collaboration between scientists across disciplines. This approach has generated many groundbreaking discoveries and technologies over the years. Recently, SRI created and launched an internal competition for innovative, forward-thinking projects that leverage this successful, collaborative model while also furthering SRI’s mission to create world-changing solutions making people…

  • Trust in Content-Centric Networking: From Theory to Practice

    We present the logical design of a trust engine for Information-Centric Networking (ICN) that is capable of efficiently and correctly verifying content integrity and authenticity.

  • Collaboration is Key to Tackling Emerging Infectious Diseases

    Collaboration is Key to Tackling Emerging Infectious Diseases

    As the news headlines tell us daily, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are a growing threat. Viruses such as Zika, Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and yellow fever are causing illness and significant concern around the globe. There are many causes for the emergence and spread of these diseases: commercial air travel (which provides fast…

  • Cyberlearning ‘16 Tackles Designs for Deeper, Broader, and More Equitable Learning

    Cyberlearning ‘16 Tackles Designs for Deeper, Broader, and More Equitable Learning

    The 5th annual Cyberlearning meeting, recently held in Arlington, VA, engaged more than 180 NSF-funded researchers, educators and other attendees,

  • Matrix factorization-based clustering of image features for bandwidth-constrained information retrieval

    We consider the problem of accurately and efficiently querying a remote server to retrieve information about images captured by a mobile device.

  • Challenges in Formulating Explanatory Models for Co-morbidities

    Abstract Patients with multiple health conditions pose significant challenges for modern healthcare. Understanding if and how these conditions are linked is essential to providing effective treatment. Physicians and researchers create explanatory models to develop hypotheses for these connections. In this paper, we discuss the breadth of domains these explanations draw upon as well as the…
