Researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science have discovered a method of attack that can successfully bypass voice authentication security systems with up to a 99% success rate after only six tries.

Voice authentication — which allows companies to verify the identity of their clients via a supposedly unique voiceprint — has increasingly been used in remote banking, call centres and other security-critical scenarios.

Cheriton School of Computer Science Professor has been appointed one of two Assistant Vice Presidents for Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs for a two-year term. He is joined in this position by Professor Clarence Woudsma from the School of Planning.

The University of ��ݮ��Ƶ hosted this week the 14^th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC), held over five days at Federation Hall.

Last weekend, University of ��ݮ��Ƶ students on a multi-school autonomous racing team achieved a personal best speed of 173.8 kph at a race on the Monza F1 Circuit in Milan, Italy.

The race, which featured five teams with members from universities around the world, was the ��ݮ��Ƶ students’ fifth race, and the first on a road course rather than a banked oval track.

Muhammad Sulaiman, Mahdieh Ahmadi, Mohammad A. Salahuddin, and Raouf Boutaba from the Cheriton School of Computer Science and their colleague Aladdin Saleh from Rogers Communications have won the NOMS 2023 Best Paper Award for “.”

��ݮ��Ƶ does it again.

Just as a trio of coders had in , a team of three ��ݮ��Ƶ algorithmic programmers has topped the competition at the 2023 International Collegiate Programming Contest North America Championship held on May 29, 2023 at the University of Central Florida.

��ݮ��Ƶ overcame the competition, including trios of programmers from Stanford, Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, Harvard, and the University of Toronto.

Incoming master’s student has received a 2023–24 from the Vector Institute. These merit-based entrance scholarships provide $17,500 for one year of full-time study and are awarded to top students who have been admitted into an AI-related master’s program in an Ontario university. 

Professor has received the 2023 Arthur Beaumont Distinguished Service Award from CAIMS, the . Named after its first recipient, the award was established in 1987 to honour ��ݮ��Ƶ Applied Mathematics Professor  for his many years of service to the society.

Computer science doctoral candidate aims to make virtual reality more accessible for disabled people.

“Most of my work is in making VR more accessible for people with motor disabilities or impairments by using the input devices they already have rather than potentially inaccessible VR controllers,” Johann says. 

For example, he looks at how to define meaningful VR experiences for someone who only has access to a button switch and a joystick on their power chair.

Software engineering student Vikram Subramanian has received a 2023 Jessie W. H. Zou Memorial Award. Established by Computer Science Professor Ming Li in honour of his late wife Jessie Wenhui Zou, the $1,000 award is conferred annually to outstanding undergraduate students in the Faculty of Mathematics with the aim of recognizing and celebrating their research accomplishments.
