At the IEEE Vast Challenge 2017, held on October 1, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona, the USF Department of Computer Science and Engineering student team of Sulav Malla, Anwesh Tuladhar, and Ghulam Jilani Quadri received an Honorable Mention. Their submission to the IEEE VAST Challenge was among 56 other entries.
According to the VAST Challenge website, "The Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Challenge is an annual contest with the goal of advancing the field of visual analytics through competition. The VAST Challenge is designed to help researchers understand how their software would be used in a novel analytic task and determine if their data transformations, visualizations, and interactions would be beneficial for particular analytic tasks. VAST Challenge problems provide researchers with realistic tasks and data sets for evaluating their software, as well as an opportunity to advance the field by solving more complex problems."
