“I’ve Got a Secret:” Trustworthiness of AI with Known Weaknesses
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and often make high-impact decisions regarding human health and safety. However, such systems are known to lack explainability and make unexpected decisions, thus lowering user trust in many applications. Therefore, this project investigates how communicating a system weakness affects user trust.

The objectives of this graduate course project are two-fold: (1) to examine the performance of the $P recognizer on a new dataset called the Zhuyin Multistroke Gestures (ZMG) dataset and (2) to investigate whether familiarity with the Zhuyin symbols may affect the recognition accuracy.

Digital Health: Active and Healthy Living
The two broad goals of Digital Health are (1) empowering individuals to change their lifestyle and address many routine health issues at home and (2) transforming the health care delivery system. In this introductory course in Digital Health by Dr. Sumi Helal, we conducted two projects: (1) a literature review on Atrial Fibrillation detection using commercially available wearables and (2) a hands-on implementation of the GatorAct mHealth app that can recognize the user’s exercise using the eSense earable (i.e., a wearable for the ear).
