It was so wonderful to see MOMENT Lab alumni Prof. Morgan Vigil-Hayes and Prof. Mariya Zheleva at the NSF Smart & Connected Communities PI meeting in October, where they presented their successful and inspiring S&CC projects!
HUGE Congratulations to MOMENT Lab members Udit Paul and Jiamo Liu on receiving the Distinguished Paper Award (Best Long Paper) at ACM IMC'22! Wow!!! This work is so important and timely given the recent focus on crowdsourced speed test measurements for policy-related decision-making. Our paper argues that using these measurements without understanding their context is problematic. Though the community had internalized that speed-test results can be misleading, no one knew the extent of skews in such crowdsourced datasets.
