Lexical Stress Classification for Language Learning Using Spectral and Segmental Features
We present a system for detecting lexical stress in English words spoken by English learners. The system uses both spectral and segmental features to detect three levels of stress for…

Nicotine Dependence as a Moderator of Genetic Influences on Smoking Cessation Treatment Outcome
In this secondary analysis of clinical trial data, we examined nicotine dependence severity as a moderator of the effects of 1198 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 53 biologically-relevant gene regions…

Poor Autonomic Nervous System Functioning During Sleep in Recently Detoxified Alcohol-Dependent Men and Women
We investigated nighttime ANS functioning, and the relation between ANS activity and severity of alcohol dependence in chronic alcoholism.

Design of a Peptide Inhibitor of Tyrosine Kinase 2
The development of antisense peptide inhibitors is a relatively unexplored area of research, and here we investigate inhibitory peptides specific for the Janus-associated kinase (JAK) family member, tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2).

Robust Features and System Fusion for Reverberation-robust Speech Recognition
In this work, we present robust acoustic features motivated by the knowledge gained from human speech perception and production, and demonstrate that these features provide reasonable robustness to reverberation effects…

Neuroscience Meets Cryptography: Crypto Primitives Secure against Rubber Hose Attacks
We present a defense against coercion attacks using the concept of implicit learning from cognitive psychology. We use a carefully crafted computer game to plant a secret password in the participant’s brain…

The IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, in Retrospect
We focus on SSP’s evolution and its vital relevance to the research and development communities along its path from community gathering to premier security research meeting.

Automatic Characterization of Speaking Styles in Educational Videos
We use crowd-sourcing to explore speaking style dimensions in online educational videos, and then propose techniques based solely on acoustic features for automatically identifying a subset of the dimensions.
