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."

Paper of the Year Award

Professor Vikrant Vaze is co-author of "Multimodal Transportation Pricing Alliance Design: Large-Scale Optimization for Rapid Gains" selected by the Transportation Science editorial board to receive one of the journal's Paper of the Year Awards for 2025. "We show that innovative pricing optimization algorithms and mechanism design can incentivize collaboration between public transit agencies and private on-demand operators to simultaneously benefit passengers, increase provider profits, reduce emissions and improve equity—a rare win-win-win-win opportunity," said Vaze.

Better Modeling of Sea-Level Rise

Professor Hélène Seroussi is a co-author of "Sea-level contribution from Thwaites Glacier doubles in an observation-constrained ice-sheet model" published in Nature Communications. "Until now, models have treated the grounding zone, where a glacier detaches from the underlying bedrock and begins to float, as a discrete line, because observations in such regions were scarce. Adding seawater intrusions and melting in this zone to simulations of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica allows the model to better reproduce three decades of observed retreat, and roughly doubles its projected contribution to sea-level rise by 2100," said Seroussi.

Kicking Off a Grant to Expand Electric Grid Capacity

Professor Geoffrey Parker joined Eversource and US Department of Energy (DOE) Assistant Secretary Katie Jereza in Manchester, NH to officially mark the selection of Thayer and Eversource for a DOE award of $47M to expand electric grid capacity. "Junbo [Zhao] has worked with Eversource for years, and that relationship is the foundation this project is built on," Parker said. "That is exactly the role we want to play: helping our faculty turn deep expertise and long-standing partnerships into large-scale work with real impact."
