Mizzou Engineering team develops video retrieval system based on captioning

t’s not hard to search for a cute cat video on the internet. But if you want to find a video of a cat chasing a dog down a street on a sunny day, it gets trickier. Now, a Mizzou Engineering team has developed a novel system that relies on image captioning to find video clips of specific objects and scenes.

Mizzou Engineer outlines system to customize blood supply chain solutions

Blood supply chains can be complicated. On one hand, healthcare providers must make sure they have enough to meet demands, which can be unexpected. On the other hand, roughly 20 million donated platelets are discarded each year because they expire before they’re needed.

Civil Engineering team develops realistic artificial data set for road safety studies

A Mizzou Engineering team is hoping artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to prevent vehicle crashes in the future. To that end, they’ve developed realistic artificial data sets (RAD) that can be used to train machines to predict the factors that cause wrecks. These data sets are now available through the U.S. Department of Transportation. The three-year $1.1M project was supported by the US DOT’s Exploratory Advance Research Program.
