Our students and faculty are changing the world through their contributions to computing education, research, and industry. These awards received by members of the UT Computer Science community make ...

In reinforcement learning (RL), a reward function that aligns exactly with a task's true performance metric is often sparse. For example, a true task metric might encode a reward of 1 upon success and ...

Imitation from observation (IfO) is the problem of learning directly from state-only demonstrations without having access to the demonstrator's actions.The lack of action information both ...

You may either type your answers or write them by hand, but you must have a copy with you in discussion section. In discussion section, your TA will check that you made a good effort on the problem ...

UT Computer Science mourns the loss of Professor Emeritus E. Allen Emerson, winner of the most prestigious award in computer science and a faculty member in the Department of Computer Science at The ...

I'm an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department and the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES) at the University of Texas at Austin. I was a PhD student at the ...

Traditional methods of collecting translation and paraphrase data can be prohibitively expensive, making construction of large, new corpora difficult. While crowdsourcing offers a cheap alternative, ...

We introduce a new entity typing task: given a sentence with an entity mention, the goal is to predict a set of free-form phrases (e.g. skyscraper, songwriter, or criminal) that describe appropriate ...

The advent of architectures with multi-level memories, including caches, shared memories, and distributed memories, has forced a re-evaluation of how linear algebra libraries are developed.

It is a misnomer. As Edsger Dijkstra used to say "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes". Computer Science is closely related to mathematics. It is the study ...

My research focuses on biologically-inspired computation such as neural networks and evolutionary computation. On one hand, the goal is to understand biological information processing, and on the ...
