🚀 Ever thought about the safety of the data on your everyday devices? Professor Trevor E. Carlson and his team at NUS Computing have been hard at work answering this very question. They've identified potential security risks in our devices and developed an innovative method named "AfterImage" to study these risks.

This is no small feat! Their work paves the way for a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities inherent in the devices we use daily, and most importantly, how we can protect ourselves against cyber threats. This groundbreaking research is making strides in the world of cybersecurity, ensuring that our personal data is less accessible to potential hackers.

Stay informed and on the cutting edge of technology - your data security is important! Read more about their incredible research here: www.comp.nus.edu.sg/news/features/2023-plugging-the-prefetcher-tcarlson/ 🌐💻🔒

We are pleased to announce that Professor Reza Shokri and his team have been honoured with the prestigious Best Paper Award at the 6th annual ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (ACM FAccT) in Chicago! 🏆👏

The insightful paper, "On The Impact of Machine Learning Randomness on Group Fairness," was the collaborative effort of MComp graduate Prakhar Ganesh, PhD students Hongyan Chang and Martin Strobel, and our very own Prof. Reza Shokri. 🌟📝

Their pioneering research delves into the world of machine learning, unraveling how randomness in data order during training affects group fairness. Their insights are especially crucial for minority groups, who face higher prediction uncertainty. The team also introduced a novel data ordering technique that bolsters model fairness! 🧠💡

🎉👩‍🏫 We are elated to announce that associate professor Ilya Sergey, along with PhD student Kiran Gopinathan 🎓 and year 4 Computer Science undergraduate Mayank Keoliya, have earned the prestigious ACM SIGPLAN Distinguished Paper Award 🏆 at the 44th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI)!👏💼 #ACMSIGPLAN #ComputerScience

Their revolutionary paper 📝, “Mostly Automated Proof Repair for Verified Libraries,” tackles the formidable challenge of proof repair in formal software verification. Through innovative use of program synthesis 🔄 and program testing techniques, the team devised Sisyphus, a tool 🛠 that largely automates the maintenance of Coq proofs for evolving code.💡

Their work is heralded as targeting the Achilles' heel of Interactive Theorem Proving and has far-reaching implications 🌍 in ensuring the robustness of machine-checked proofs in software development.🔐👨‍💻 Check out their story here: https://nus.edu/3PvPkcW🔍

🌏 For the first time ever, #NUS has made a historic leap into the top 10 of the QS World University Rankings, clinching the 8th spot globally and reigning as the top university in Asia! 🥇 A huge congratulations to the entire NUS community for this remarkable achievement!
