When Ashley Robinson and her mother took DNA tests 10 years ago and began meeting long lost cousins,
they stumbled across a surprising family history that changed their lives.
Robinson’s lineage traced back to the 272 West Africans who were enslaved by Jesuits
and sold to plantation owners in the southern US in 1838.
The sale of the enslaved Africans helped fund Georgetown University,

Avatars and Environments for Meetings in Social VR: What Styles and Choices Matter to People in Group Creativity Tasks?
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many professional entities shifted toward remote collaboration and video conferencing (VC) tools. Social virtual reality (VR) platforms present an alternative to VC for meetings and collaborative activities. Well-crafted social VR environments could enhance feelings of co-presence and togetherness at meetings, helping reduce the need for carbon-intensive travel to face-to-face meetings. This research contributes to creating meeting tools in VR by exploring the effe…

CF-DETR: Coarse-to-Fine Transformer for Real-Time Object Detection
Detection Transformers (DETR) are increasingly adopted in autonomous vehicle (AV) perception systems due to their superior accuracy over convolutional networks. However, concurrently executing multiple DETR tasks presents significant challenges in meeting firm real-time deadlines (R1) and high accuracy requirements (R2), particularly for safety-critical objects, while navigating the inherent latency-accuracy trade-off under resource constraints.
