Multi-Touch Interaction Research Multi-Touch Interaction Research,Jeff Han (2006) While touch sensing is commonplace for single points of contact, multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time, as in chording and bi-manual operations. Such sensing devices are inherently also able to accommodate multiple users simultaneously, which is especially useful for larger interaction scenarios such as interactive walls and tabletops. Since refining the FTIR (frustrated total internal reflection) sensing technique, we've been experimenting with a wide variety of application scenarios and interaction modalities that utilize multi-touch input information. These go far beyond the "poking" actions you get with a typical touchscreen, or the gross gesturing found in video-based interactive interfaces. It is a rich area for research, and we are extremely excited by its potential for advances in efficiency, usability, and intuitiveness. It's also just so much fun! Our technique is force-sensitive, and provides unprecedented resolution and scalability, allowing us to create sophisticated multi-point widgets for applications large enough to accommodate both hands and multiple users. The drafting table style implementation shown here measures 36"x27", is rear-projected, and has a sensing resolution of better than 0.1" at 50Hz. Stroke event information is sent to applications using the lightweight OSC protocol over UDP. http://mrl.nyu.edu/~jhan/ftirtouch/ Tags: Multi-Touch Interaction Research Jeff Han |

Research Scientist - ROMAIN THIBAUX Google Tech Talks June, 11 2008 Title: "Levy Processes and Applications to Machine Learning" ABSTRACT: Nonparametric Bayesian methods are a generalization of probabilistic models where the prior distribution can be a stochastic process, a distribution over a possibly uncountably infinite number of random variables. The great flexibility of these methods has led to applications in natural language processing, machine vision, computational biology and other fields. I will introduce Levy processes, which generalize several of these methods. Levy processes are random measures that give independent mass to independent increments. As an example I will show how they can be used to model various types of data such as binary vectors or vectors of counts, with applications to text and images. These techniques are related to the better known Dirichlet process. Speaker: Research Scientist - ROMAIN THIBAUX Tags: google techtalks techtalk engedu talk talks googletechtalks education |

Research Scientist - Assaf schuster Google Tech Talks June, 13 2008 ABSTRACT Research Scientist - Assaf schuster Title: "A Geometric Approach to Detecting Global Properties over Distributed Data" Abstract: A basic construct in many distributed systems is the detection of global properties over distributed data. Examples include a wireless sensor network where we would like to be alerted whenever the average of the temperature readings taken by the sensors exceeds a given threshold, or a distributed search engine where the set of search terms whose frequency of use is above a given threshold must be determined. Until recently, research has focused on detecting global properties that are defined by simple aggregates (e.g., sum, average, or minimum) over the distributed data. In many cases, however, global properties of interest are expressed by more complex functions. This is the case, for instance, when the goal is to detect when the variance in sensor-network readings is in excess of a threshold, or when the set of pairs of search terms whose correlation exceeds a threshold is to be determined. Such tasks typically require that all the data be collected to a central location, incurring very high communication costs. In this talk I present a novel geometric approach for efficiently detecting a wide family of global properties that are defined by the value of an arbitrary function on the distributed data vis-a-vis a given threshold. The global property is split into a set of constraints applied locally at each node. As long as the local constraints at all the nodes are satisfied, the global property is guaranteed to be satisfied as well, and no communication is required. I begin by presenting the geometric detection method and show how it is applied for efficient detection of complex events in a distributed streaming setting. Time permitting, I will also show how it can be used for determining top-k queries over distributed databases.

Leukemia research-Susan Eastwood A TEESSIDE FAMILY'S GIFT TO THOUSANDS. There can be few things more soberingly unfair than a child born to die young, but when Susan Eastwood from Middlesbrough died aged 7, her parents chose to do something exceptional and have changed tens of thousands of lives in the process. SUSAN EASTWOOD got ill in the late 1950s, but the local community gathered around in support, even though, back then, most people had never heard of leukaemia. SUSANS FRIENDS gave her a music box, locals at the nearby pub had a whip round and bought her a dog Whiskey, when they learnt of her illness. IN 1960, Susan was due to open a local garden fete. Her parents had bought her a new dress, which she loved, but shortly beforehand, her health began to fail and she wasn't well enough to open the fete. Susan was buried in the clothes bought for the fete. HER SISTER SYLVIA was 19 when Susan died. She spoke to Alistair Campbell, Tony Blair's former special adviser and fundraising chairman of Leukaemia Research, for the BBC's Inside Out programme. She told how she remembers her brown eyes, how she was a "little giggly" girl who used to love going on the swing in the back garden and being pushed as high as she could go. The drugs made her face puff out and she'd get tired with all the treatment, she'd say "I think I will have a little sleep on my bed." Her parents would do anything to make her feel better, or be happy. They used to go on trips to the lake district and the seaside. Much of her time was spent playing with Whiskey the dog. AFTER SUSAN Susan's parents wanted something good to come out of their daughter's death and dedicated the rest of their lives to raising money for a cure. The family were constantly thinking of new ways to raise money. The music box bought by her friends was the first thing to be auctioned off. Sylvia and her mum working on their handkerchiefs. Hankerchiefs in a "peak formation" were all the rage for men to wear in the breast pockets of their suits at the time. Sylvia and her mum used to spend the evening stitching these to bits of card so they could look smart in suits. In one money raising venture her father dressed as a baby with a dummy in his mouth and was pushed around in a pram to get donations. They also sold Christmas cards before charity cards were commonplace. Their parents' aim was always to spend as little money as possible on administration, so the maximum amount could be put toward research, a rule that stills applies today at the fund. HOW THE FUND STARTED. The Eastwoods read an article in "The People" highlighting the importance of research into childhood diseases at Great Ormond Street Hospital. David and Hilda wrote to the Director of the Institute saying "If we can achieve something then we shall know that our daughter died for a reason." A year after Susan died, her parents had raised £3000 for the fund. On the 9th of December 1961 David and Hilda Eastwood attended the official opening of the first unit in the country dedicated to childhood leukaemia research at Great Ormond Street. THE WORK TODAY. As part of the Inside Out programme, Alistair Campbell met 10 year old Rachel Paul from Teesside, who has survived 2 bouts of leukaemia. Rachael Paul and her teddy, Belgium. Her mum Pamela's instinct that something wasn't quite right went back to when Rachel was 14 months old. She was diagnosed with leukaemia (AML) in 1999 and spent the following months receiving treatment in hospital. She then relapsed in November 2000. Doctors tried everything to get Rachel into remission again and she was having so much chemotherapy and radiotherapy that she had to be given growth hormones. Once in remission, a donor was found on the Anthony Nolan register. Pamela remembers the 70 ml of "pink liquid" - the bone marrow - that was injected into Rachel. She and her husband started off the syringe that put her back on the road to recovery. Rachel also received a teddy from the anonymous Belgian donor.

Trailer for Mapping Stem Cell Research: Terra Incognita Premieres Tuesday, January 15, 2008 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Terra Incognita is a feature length documentary featuring the story of Dr. Jack Kessler, the current chair of Northwestern University's Department of Neurology and Clinical Neurological Sciences. When Kessler was invited to head up the Neurology Department at Northwestern, his focus was on using stem cells to help cure diabetes. However, soon after his move to Chicago, Allison -- then age 15, was injured in a skiing accident and paralyzed from the waist down. In the moments following the accident, Dr. Kessler made the decision to change the focus of his research to begin looking for a cure for spinal cord injuries using embryonic stem cells. Through Kessler's story, we bring the stem cell debate to the public for discussion. The film follows the constantly evolving interplay between the promise of new discoveries, the controversy of modern science and the resilience and courage of people living every day with devastating disease and injury.

Early Split Brain Research Gazzaniga Documentary. Rare video. The end is CUT OFF so here's the rest of the narration: "The question becomes: What happens when you allow both hands together to try and solve the problem? And what we find out is that they fight over each other. One hand knows how to do it and one hand does not. And so they more or less squabble. And the reason for this is that the hemispheres are disconnected. The right hemisphere controls the left hand and the left hemisphere controls the right hand and these are almost mutually independent systems as if two people were fighting over performing th task. One knew how and the other d one would fight for dominance over the situation. What have we gained from this research into split-brains? It is now possible to localize in one half brain, basic mental processes like learning and memory. This cuts the complexities of brain research almost in half so that in the future we can expect to achieve deeper insights into the mechanics of how the brain really works."

Research Scientist--Taesup Moon Google Tech Talks May, 5 2008 ABSTRACT Discrete Denoising with Shifts Recovery of discrete data corrupted by discrete noise is an increasingly encountered problem in contexts as diverse as digital communications, bio-molecular sequence analysis, and the Internet. Perfect recovery is sometimes possible but, more generally, performance is measured under a given fidelity criterion. This talk will focus on the often realistic scenario where the corruption mechanism is a "discrete memoryless channel", meaning that the components of the corrupted data are independent given the underlying clean data. I will introduce an algorithm for this setting which performs essentially as well as a genie that has access, in addition to the noisy data, also to the underlying clean data, and can choose to switch between "sliding-window" denoisers in a way that optimizes the overall performance. This will be shown to be the case in several strong statistical senses, within a "semi-stochastic" setting where the underlying clean data are deterministic and the only randomness is due to the noise. Further, when the clean data form a piecewise stationary stochastic process or field, the algorithm achieves the optimum distribution-dependent performance. These performance guarantees are contingent on a certain growth rate condition that must be imposed on the number of switches, which is necessary in the sense that any scheme fails to compete in the above senses when the condition does not hold. The key issue in implementing our scheme is to efficiently learn the best segmentation of the data and the associated denoisers that the genie is using, based solely on the noisy data. We will describe our approach to this problem, which results in a practical algorithm: implementable with complexity (time and memory) growing linearly with the data size and the number of switches. Preliminary experimental results suggest that the new scheme has the capacity to improve on prior art in applications where the nature of the data abruptly changes in time (or space), as is often the case in practice. I will conclude with a discussion of some remaining challenges. Joint work with Professor Tsachy Weissman (Stanford University).
