The University of Washington's annual Research Showcase, hosted by The Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, featured top computer science engineers presenting their latest work.
The winner of this year's Madrona Prize, a Seattle venture firm award, is a project using AI to support team communication in remote work environments.
Two runner-up projects were also recognized, one developing a way to enhance the performance of large models on wearable devices, and another working on a new method to sequence proteins using nanopores.
The "People's Choice" award went to two groups: AHA, a Vision-Language Model for Detecting and Reasoning over Failures in Robotic Manipulation, and AltGeoViz, which facilitates accessible geovisualization.
