Dartmouth Now article says "DALI at Dartmouth means something other than the mustachioed Spanish surrealist painter. Rather, it refers to a group of students, staff, and faculty, who work on real-world computational problems. They focus on communicating complex ideas and data in meaningful ways, using a mix of technology and design."

Do you have an innovative idea? Want to make the world a better place? Here is a chance to realize your vision for a new app, tool, or device.

Chip Elliott, an adjunct professor of Computer Science, has been named a 2013 ACM Fellow f or scientific contributions enabling quantum communications, advanced tactical networks, and programming literacy.

An exhibition in Berry Library highlights the work of Professor Hany Farid, a digital forensics specialist. Farid examined the “Oswald backyard photo,” an incriminating image held up by conspiracy theorists as a fake.

There is no known cure for schizophrenia, but Dartmouth’s Dror Ben-Zeev and his team are working on a mobile system that can detect early warning signs of impending episodes and trigger time-sensitive interventions to help prevent relapses into psychosis.

Professor of Computer Science Sean Smith is assuming the leadership of Dartmouth’s Institute for Security, Technology, and Society (ISTS). The institute is dedicated to pursuing research and education to advance information security and privacy throughout society.

“Algorithms are at the core of all things digital,” says Cormen, a professor and chair of Dartmouth’s Department of Computer Science. “They run on your laptop, your smartphone, your GPS device, and in systems imbedded in your car, your microwave oven—everywhere.”

“Now with these mobile technologies, people can use these computing devices pretty much anywhere, so that means that we are collecting information from more parts of your life, from more places in your life than you might have been comfortable having collected."

New software developed by Dartmouth’s Hany Farid and his colleagues can determine whether a photo is fake—or has been altered—by analyzing shadows that cannot be seen by the naked eye, reports The New York Times.
