In our last post, we shared that we had a paper accepted to the ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) 2017, to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, UK. The paper was titled “Comparing Human and Machine Recognition of Children’s Touchscreen Gestures.” We just came back from the conference and are proud to announce that Alex Shaw, the INIT Lab PhD student who first-authored the paper, won Best Student Paper at the conference! Alex is co-advised by Dr. Lisa Anthony from the INIT lab and UF CISE professor Dr. Jaime Ruiz.

Congratulations, Alex!
