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.

Researcher continues work to decode genome sequences
In the future, hospitals and clinics may be able to better manage diseases by pinpointing exactly how an individual’s body will respond to treatment. But first, they need a fast, efficient and secure way to analyze DNA, or human genome sequences. Enter Praveen Rao, an associate professor with joint appointments in Health Management & Informatics and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Rao has spent the past two years developing a software system for others to analyze and compare genomes more easily. Now, he has a two-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to expand upon that…
