Nice mask study ~consistent w/ prev. results. pnas.org/content/118/49… "... face masks sign. reduce the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to social distancing. We find a very low risk of inf. when everyone wears a face mask, even if it doesn’t fit perfectly on the face." 1/🧵

A major hurdle in detecting online fake news has been to determine the "intent" of fake news spreaders. This is the first work in this direction. Kudos to Xinyi Zhou as her 2-year work with Kai Shu, V.Phoha, Huan Liu on this direction is finally out. Please spread the word!

Congratulations to Professor Hoque for receiving a Google Research Scholar Award for his proposal about a new mechanism for finding security bugs in system software title: CSFuzz: Fuzzing for Highly Structured Context-Sensitive Inputs

The first session is June 9 2022 at 10:30 am EDT. Please spread the word. The Zoom link will be available from mementor.net/#/session/6296….

[Please kindly spread the word; retweets are greatly appreciated!] I have multiple openings for Ph.D. students in my research lab at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Syracuse University (Fall 2023). See details at shorturl.at/kqxR2

Glad to share a new NSF grant on "Targeting Challenges in Computational Disinformation Research to Enhance Attribution, Detection, and Explanation" - an interdisciplinary collaboration with amazing colleagues Reza Zafarani and Miriam Metzger. nsf.gov/awardsearch/sh…

Tenured! There are so many people I should genuinely thank (and almost surely cannot thank enough): my outstanding students, supportive colleagues (you are the best!), letter writers (🙏), and of course, family and friends.

1st time at IEEE ICASSP and finished presenting our work on graph sparsification. Very interesting conference with exciting research on “I should probably look into this” problems! I am recruiting PhD students so if interested, let’s chat. I will be here until Friday! #icassp2023

It was a remarkably well organized event! Absolute pleasure! Thank you for the invitation!

A rising star in data science working on AI/LLMs!

We are grateful for recognizing our research 🙏🙏
