Early Findings of Research on Apple and ConnectED Initiative to Improve Learning Through Technology in Low-Income Schools
Many in the education community celebrate the potential of technology to help prepare students for the future. But realizing that potential depends on how educational technology tools are used, an area in which gaps persist on average between high-poverty schools and their better-resourced peers. An important goal is to introduce new technologies in ways that…

Structure-based lead optimization to improve antiviral potency and ADMET properties of phenyl-1H-pyrrole-carboxamide entry inhibitors targeted to HIV-1 gp120
We are continuing our concerted effort to optimize our first lead entry antagonist, NBD-11021, which targets the Phe43 cavity of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120, to improve antiviral potency and ADMET properties.

Power-grid controller anomaly detection with enhanced temporal deep learning
Controllers of security-critical cyber-physical systems, like the power grid, are a very important class of computer systems. Attacks against the control code of a power-grid system, especially zero-day attacks, can be catastrophic.

Next-Generation Spray Delivery of Vaccines and Other Therapeutics with High Viscosity Aerosol
While conventional methods for spraying (Spray 1.0) such as pump sprays are largely viscosity-limited and only work for fluids with consistency close to water, the PARC technology called FEA, short for Filament Extension Atomizer (Spray 2.0) can generate narrowly-dispersed micron-sized droplets from fluids with a wide range of viscosities, from water-like (1 mPa-s) to peanut…

Launching Drishti: Continuing SRI’s human-centric legacy with AI in the factory
By Prasad Akella, Founder and CEO, Drishti The next time you come to a meeting at SRI International’s headquarters, arrive early. Linger in front of the glass-enclosed exhibit that lines the lobby’s left wall. It contains descriptions and artifacts from SRI’s storied history, arranged thematically from the 40’s to today. You’ll learn about everything from radar…

Estimation of Graphlet Counts in Massive Networks
In this work, we propose an unbiased graphlet estimation framework that is (a) fast with significant speedups compared to the state-of- the-art, (b) parallel with nearly linear-speedups, (c) accurate with
