New Jersey Institute of Technology hosted the 12th ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval with in-person and remote participants focusing on critical, societal and technical presentations in the art of searching for vivid data online.

NJIT students have found excellent work in co-ops and internships this summer. It is a great way to gain real-world experience in their field of study, and to network with professionals in their chosen field. And, of course, the added benefit of earning money to help pay for tuition and other expenses.

Many Capstone projects, proposed by a company and performed by a team of students as a senior-year course requirement in the Ying Wu College of Computing, are successful enough to be developed further by the sponsoring company. On occasion, a student or two will be fortunate enough to receive an employment offer from the company as a result of their good work. It is far less common, however, for an entire Capstone team, let alone two entire Capstone teams of the same semester and sponsor, to be hired – and made full partners in the company.

An unpatched security bug in most web browsers allows hackers to monitor specific site visitors and leave scarce evidence of a digital trail, researchers with New Jersey Institute of Technology revealed.

The bug can be exploited with well-crafted code that can, for example, wait for a targeted person to view an embarrassing website, record data about their clicks and share that data with those who wish to use it against the visitor.

Twitter was a strategic tool for Taliban operations in overthrowing the Afghanistan leadership during the country’s civil war, and some accounts associated with the oppressive group triggered the company's algorithms to promote ads for well-known Western brands, researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology, Princeton University and University of Regina found.

July 1 marks the first day of Dr. Teik C. Lim’s appointment as president of New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Filing a noise complaint is a bit of a gamble. By the time an inspector arrives, the stream of trucks thundering by the night before may be long gone or the construction tools bedeviling the dinner hour turned off. In a dense soundscape, even pinpointing the worst offender can be a challenge. Was it a jackhammer or a tamping machine making that repetitive racket?

Two undergraduates have turned a free Android mobile app development course they took into a teaching moment through CodePath.org, a nonprofit organization that offers free software development courses at colleges and universities who support low-income computer science students. 

The idea for a service that would give buyers recommendations for products they cannot live without has won four computer science students in the Ying Wu College of Computing 1st place and a $5,000 grand prize as part of GfK’s annual NextGen Data Science Hackathon Competition.

Computer science undergraduates Alfred Simpson and Luis Velasquez each received $5,000 scholarships this spring from the New Jersey chapter of the Society for Information Management.

The society is a professional organization for information technology executives. Scholarships are provided by the state chapter's charitable foundation.
