21 July 2020 – A team comprising of NUS Computing and School of Design and Environment Master’s students emerged champions at the Microsoft Azure Virtual Hackathon, held online from 17 April to 19 June this year.21 July 2020 – NUS Computing Provost's Chair Professor Abhik Roychoudhury and his team received the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at the 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2020), held online from 27 June to 19 July 2020. The conference provides a platform for researchers to present and discuss innovations and trends in the field of software engineering.24 June 2020 – NUS Computing Distinguished Professor Ooi Beng Chin and his team have won a 2020 ACM SIGMOD Research Highlight Award at the 2020 ACM SIGMOD/PODS International Conference on Management of Data, which was held online from 14 to 19 June. The conference is a leading international forum for researchers who explore and advance research on data management. Why Computing? What exactly is Computing? Do you need a background in programming to do a Computing degree in NUS? Associate Professor Terence Sim answers frequently asked questions about Computing and more. Making Robots Smarter How do you make #robots smarter? A team of #NUSComputing researchers led by Assistant Professor Harold Soh armed Frankie the robot with intelligent sensing abilities, such as an artificial brain and skin, to carry out more complex tasks. Watch how they combined vision and touch to help robots understand their world better.Confined to their homes during the circuit breaker period, Singapore’s Covid-19 lockdown, people began ordering certain products in earnest: fitness equipment, home office accessories, flour and other baking goods. If, like many, you were forced to turn to online shopping in recent months, you might have realised what a complex beast it can be.Today’s virtual assistants and smart devices have come a long way. They can tell you if you’re running low on milk, what the weather will be like tomorrow, or change the TV channel without you having to lift a finger. But if researcher Desmond Ong has his way, the Google Homes and Alexas of the future might be able to add another attribute to their already impressive resume — emotional intelligence.When Yingda Zhai was working on his PhD in Austin, Texas, he used to stroll through the neighbourhood he lived in not too far from campus. On these walks, he saw something that puzzled him, something that would set the course of his research for the next few years. What Zhai noticed was this: his neighbourhood wasn’t that well-to-do, and lining the streets were shops like MetroPCS, Cricket Wireless, and FamilyMobile. These small cell phone companies, also known as mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), offered cheap plans without any contracts or credit checks. But the snag was that they came with slower connection speeds, smaller network coverage, and without features such as phone tethering.If you have been to parts of Orchard Road or Bugis Junction, two busy shopping streets in Singapore, you might have noticed something unusual. There, familiar “traffic light men” flash red and green to help guide pedestrians safely across the road. But these are also accompanied by matching LED strips on the ground. In recent years, Singapore and a handful of other cities, including Sydney, Tel Aviv, and Augsburg, have embedded lights into pavements at busy intersections as an additional safety measure for pedestrians. Ilsan in South Korea has gone even further, employing flickering lights and laser beams at road crossings to warn walkers of the dangers ahead. Whatever the means, their target is the same: the heads-down tribe of smartphone zombies — people who walk around perpetually glued to their mobile device. Thu 30 Jul 2020 02:00PM - 03:30PMFinancial Awareness: Developing an Extension of Financial Literacy for Low-Income Populations in a FinTech Contexte-Seminar via Zoomhttps://nus-sg.zoom.us/j/99257647260?pwd=bWxrazdzc3B2SjYxY0RKU2tHb2Z2dz09Meeting ID: 992 5764 7260Password: 561470  amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;strong amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;JavaScript is currently disabled. amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Please enable it for a better experience of amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://2glux.com/projects/jumi" amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Jumi amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;.
