Congratulations to UF’s graduating class of Fall 2021!  The MLSL would like to recognize our very own, Aaron Zygala!  Aaron obtained a M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is now working in a tech startup company.   Great job, Aaron. Later, Gator!

The Machine Learning and Sensing Lab is excited to welcome Matt Wein as a new Masters student! Matt received his BS degree in Civil & Structural Engineering from the University of Florida in 2016. After spending several years as a geotechnical and bridge engineer, he recognized the value machine learning can bring across industries. Matt […]

Congratulations to our labmates and collaborators: Joshua Peeples, Weihuang Xu, and Alina Zare! Their paper, “Histogram Layers for Texture Analysis”, was recently accepted to IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, 2021. In the paper, the authors present a localized histogram layer for artificial neural networks. Instead of computing global histograms as done previously, the proposed histogram […]

It was a great pleasure that we were invited by the Greater Gainesville Chamber to share our work at the COLLABORATE 2025 – Investors Meeting on December 14th, 2021 at The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention. Dr. Zare talked about the research we do at The Machine Learning and Sensing Lab, and an overview of IoT4Ag – Internet of […]

Abstract: Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) intensity statistics are dependent upon the sensing geometry at the time of capture. Estimating bathymetry from acoustic surveys is challenging. While several methods have been proposed to estimate seabed relief via intensity, we develop the first large-scale study that relies on deep learning models. In this work, we pose bathymetric […]

Abstract: Objective: We quantify adipose tissue deposition at surgical sites as a function of biomaterial implantation. Impact Statement: To our knowledge, this study is the first investigation to apply convolutional neural network (CNN) models to identify and segment adipose tissue in histological images from silk fibroin biomaterial implants. Introduction: When designing biomaterials for the treatment […]

It is always a momentous occasion someone you know accomplishes what they have been working years for. Gatorsense is proud of Dr. Guohao Yu, who recently defended his PhD thesis! His work and dedication is an inspiration for the current students in the lab. The lab celebrated Dr. Yu’s achievement with a dinner party at […]

It is a great pleasure and honor for everyone in Gatorsense that one of our labmates has achieved his goal. Congratulations to Dr. Guohao Yu for graduating with his Ph.D.! Guohao’s dissertation is titled “Weakly Supervised Image Segmentation with Multiple Instance Learning Neural Network.” Guohao does research on weakly supervised image segmentation. His research focuses on […]
