Optimizing Regional Airlines

Professor Vikrant Vaze is co-author of "Integrated Schedule Planning for Regional Airlines Using Column Generation" published in Transportation Science. "Where, how often, when, and with what aircraft an airline operates its flights decides passenger demand and costs. Ours is the first study to jointly optimize all these decisions by developing a new algorithm resulting in significant profit improvements and better ability to serve small and rural communities with connections to larger hub airports," said Vaze.

Best Paper: Speech Neuroprosthesis

PhD student Yuanhao Chen '25 received the Best Paper Award at the Association for Computing Machinery's International Conference on Multimodal Interaction in Napoli, Italy. The paper, co-authored with Professor Peter Chin, is titled, "MoDAl: Self-Supervised Neural Modality Discovery via Decorrelation for Speech Neuroprosthesis." Said Chen, "Professor Chin and I developed a multimodal LLM-based system that converts the brain activity of a speech-impaired person with bulbar-onset ALS, recorded by implanted electrodes as they try to speak, directly into text. While earlier systems discarded signals from Broca’s area due to degraded performance, our system learns to extract complementary information from Broca's area, and it makes about 18% fewer word errors than the best previous system that decodes end-to-end, in a single step."
