Researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science have secured nearly $425,000 in funding to support two research projects through the National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC), a federally incorporated not-for-profit organization committed to advancing Canada鈥檚 cybersecurity ecosystem.

Professors Sujaya Maiyya and Florian Kerschbaum, members of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute, are among those awarded funding in this NCC round, which distributed more than $1.5 million to 蓝莓视频 researchers alone.

A conversation with Professor Yuntian Deng, where he discusses his natural language processing and machine learning research, advice for aspiring computer scientists, and his excitement about joining the Cheriton School of Computer Science.

A conversation with Professor Xiao Hu, where she discusses her database theory research and its applications to practical database systems, advice for aspiring computer scientists, and what excites her about joining the Cheriton School of Computer Science.

Based on its program and research reputation, the Cheriton School of Computer Science has again been in the 2025 惭补肠濒别补苍鈥檚 university rankings. This marks the fifth consecutive year that CS at 蓝莓视频 has received this prestigious distinction.

A recently released update to the QS subject ranking for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence puts the University of 蓝莓视频 second in Canada and 40th globally.

The results are part of the annual QS World University Rankings by Subject, which rank approximately 1,600 universities in 54 disciplines. Indicators for the subject rankings are drawn from a peer review survey, employer survey, citations data and collaboration data.

A team of theoretical neuroscientists has received the European Neural Network Society Best Paper Award at ICANN 2024, the 33rd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks. The prestigious recognition was given for their paper 鈥淏iologically-plausible Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling from Vector Symbolic Algebra-encoded Distributions.鈥

Led by P. Michael Furlong, Research Officer at the NRC-UW Collaboration Centre, along with colleagues Kathryn Simone, Nicole Dumont, Madeleine Bartlett, Terrence Stewart and Professors Jeff Orchard and Chris Eliasmith, the work describes a way that a network of spiking neurons can generate random samples from a probability distribution. The distribution is encoded using vector symbolic algebra, a type of compositional language embedded in a vector space.

An international team of security researchers has received the prestigious (ISOC.pt). The researchers were recognized for their paper, 鈥淔low Correlation Attacks on Tor Onion Service Sessions with Sliding Subset Sum,鈥 work that uncovered critical vulnerabilities in the Tor network.

On Friday, September 27, the School of Computer Science held its annual Cheriton Research Symposium, a showcase of research excellence made possible by David R. Cheriton鈥檚 generous investment in computer science research. In the afternoon, the School hosted a well-attended poster session featuring the work of 12 graduate students.

A trio of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 top algorithmic programmers showcased their expertise at the , held in Astana, Kazakhstan, from September 15 to 20, 2024. This prestigious global competition attracted elite programming talent from over 140 universities, representing more than 50 countries.
