Center for the Management of Information

Shaping the world we work in. Raising our collective potential.

  

For decades, CMI has both researched and revolutionized collaboration processes and technologies.

The Center for the Management of Information has helped redefine the way people work and communicate—using the best of today’s tools for the best possible future.

Research Highlight: Detecting Deception and Intent

It’s something humans have examined, studied and hypothesized about for centuries: how to detect, for certain, if someone is lying. While no one has historically found a way to detect it with a high level of accuracy (even with polygraph tests), now, with a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CMI is developing computer-assisted detection tools using non-verbal cues in human behavior. Thanks to automated intent determination, speech act profiling and the C# Behavioral Annotation System, the possibilities are endless.

A Broad Reach

CMI has been awarded over $100 million in grants to perform cutting-edge research in collaboration, information technologies, group processes and group support.
