Not focused on lang learning, but mediating communication
now looking at lang translation and multimodal work, 

scenario: look at IM translation agent. and virtual collab workspace.
Eon platform for virtual interaction 3D avatar with translation agent.

temporary integration team in CSIDM Beijing - no long term task but short term is to set prototype target to integrate multimodal work. short term deadlines. VR Eon work. XML based API.  what to integrate decided by PI, how done by the integration team.

''HW''

think about concrete relevance to project mission.

''Discussion''

Every project has own KPI.  
Demo translation based.
Immediate translation rather than long term learning.
language mediation and communication - doesn't matter the research as long as it meets end goal.  ''new way'' of communication and mediation.

''Sched''

9.00 - 9.05 Intro by Xu Bo, Ng Hwee Tou
9.05 - 9.50 Sim Khe Chai, Tao Jianhua
9.50 - 10.35 Ng Hwee Tou, Zong Chengqing
10.35 - 11.00 Tea break
11.00 - 11.45 Lawrence Wong, Wu Jiankang
11.45 - 12.30 Kan Min-Yen, Zhao Jun
12.30 - 1.30 Lunch
1.30 - 2.15 Mohan Kankanhalli, Lu Hangqing
2.15 - 3.00 Xu Changsheng, Yan Shuicheng
3.00 - 4.00 Discussion

''Notes''

Yan Shuicheng - universal age estimator using images obtained from downloading, human action recognition.

Xu Changsheng - 3d model reconstruction, image photo highlights, attention pts using sift.

Zhao Jun - E-rater for CH essay - uses several different factors in the project.

Mohan Kankanhalli / Lu Hanqing / Huang Qingming - video analysis. temporal analysis of video for attention understanding and insertion of virtual content, affective analysis of video via feature extraction wrt of valence and arousal features (dim created from prev work) with collage and filtering demo.  Affective work in hand with text processing (how to do?)

Wu Jiankang / Lawrence Wong - avatar motion capture and gesture, with demo, 3D mouse. Huge group (FYP).

Ng Hwee Tou - chat text (future) SMS/IM.  Dialog translation demo, for hotel domain (Pidong).  Annotation for essay grading, data collection (Daniel).  Shooting for 1M words annotated by Jan!

Zong Chengqing - zero anaphora, dialog act context based MT, NE mining/translation. ISWT workshop front runner.

Sim Khe Chai - ASR and phone verification for CH/EN.  Accept pronunciation if pronounced well.  CMLLR for adaptation.

Tao Jianhua - prosody and sadness, voice transformation using markov models, emotion recognition in speech (used in telecomm; system sends SMS to tell them that their emotions?), online demo of lip movement (driven by waveform).


''Vision'' 
After recent discussions with MDA (Michael Yap), a change to the vision statement of CSIDM was made at MDA's request. The new vision statement of CSIDM is:
 
"To be a global hub for mediating language communication between Chinese and non-Chinese speakers and writers"
 
This is in contrast to the previous vision statement that was presented to the international review panel and at our workshop last year (where all CSIDM and NUS PIs attended), which was:
 
"The world's digital language learning hub"
 
This means that language learning will not be the main emphasis of CSIDM. The focus is on mediating multi-language multi-modal communications.

* Grouping - multiple entities
* Lookup - 
* Erroneous -
* Missing values - 

Data set has to have schema, and the actual data
Data set D = (S(D), G(D))

Virtual connected subgraph - overlay k-fully connected graph over the dataset

Data representation: 2 options
1. with VCS -> problem is to partition graph into components
2. choice nodes (as in RelDC)?

Two parts in language:
- blocking function: (optional for missing value problems)
- create candidate choice function:

Topic 3: Analytics for Personalization
We are pursuing applied research to develop the analytics and the platform for powerful personalization and customer-intelligence services. Our technology pulls together data from a wide variety of sources to build an extremely comprehensive and dynamic consumer/behavioral profile with transparency and control for users. Our technology empowers end-users with accurate, broad and controllable profiles, and allows partners to predict and address the individual needs of their customers, enabling them to deliver personalized experiences.
We are looking for collaborations in the following three areas:
‐ Transitive associations across categories for predicting user interests. For example, typical recommendation engines that employ collaborative filtering techniques try to predict movie interests based on other movies or book interests based on other books. What about predicting interests in movies based on both movie ratings and book ratings? More generally, how do behaviors in
one content domain represent preferences in another and what models can be
developed explicitly to exploit those relationships?
‐	''Temporal dynamics in user preferences and aging of concepts in predicting user interests''. For example, a user may have given ratings to movies over a long period of time. But his tastes and preferences may have changed during that time. How do you account for such changes when making recommendations to him? Further, how do you account for concepts (say movie genres) that have become outdated? As another example, what models can be developed that are capable of accounting for transient or periodic user interests in domains such as news or shopping?
‐	Disentangling user profiles for predicting the interests of a specific user. For example, multiple users may be using a device like a TV to watch shows or a computer to browse the Internet. Without explicit identification by the user, a combined stream of ratings, viewing or browsing behavior is recorded. How do you account for this when making recommendations?

Topic 6: Cloud Computing Services in Education
In collaboration with the HP Office of Global Social Innovation, HP Labs invites universities, colleges and research institutes from around the world to demonstrate how cloud computing service applications can support global transformation in education, and facilitate innovative teaching and learning concepts.
“Cloud Computing is on the near-term horizon of technologies that are significant in education”, as stated in the 2009 Horizon Report (www.nmc.org/pdf/2009- Horizon-Report.pdf).
Computing resources and services which are available on demand, both within and between education institutions, will create new opportunities for students and researchers in mature and emerging markets.
Students and teachers are already using commercial and/or free ‘cloud’ services, but these do not fulfill all their requirements. So, what are the missing or new services that will help meet the additional needs of education institutions teachers, and students at all grade levels?
Under this topic, the HP Office for Global Social Innovation is inviting proposals from universities, colleges and research institutes to explore and demonstrate the innovative use of cloud computing applications in education. Possible exploration topics include (but are not limited to) public or private cloud computing educational services in areas such as:
‐ ‘learning is collaborative’ – demonstrating how cloud computing services (private, by-invitation, or public) support educational collaboration within, between, and beyond institutions; this can encompass higher education as well as primary or secondary education needs, plus the needs of independent learners not enrolled in formal education institutions; this can also include improvements to the ‘collaboration experience’
‐	‘learning is everywhere’ – demonstrating new and inspiring, educational cloud computing services that simplify on-demand access to high-power educational resources from home, from school, across the community or across the world; this	can	encompass	all	forms	of	online	learning,	such	as synchronous/asynchronous, instructor-led/student-led, scheduled/self-paced
‐	''future textbooks'' – demonstrating how 21st century ‘textbooks’ are actually a system of content, content management, user interface and collaboration among users; demonstrating how ‘textbooks’ can be transformed into ‘digital binders/portfolios’ that, via cloud computing, can provide access to interactive
and collaborative learning experiences and resources; demonstrating how a cloud computing service can create a learning experience that is more powerful than is provided by today’s textbooks
‐ ‘measuring the learning’ – demonstrating how innovative uses of cloud computing services can make current student assessment data more immediate and meaningful, providing for more accurate student assessments that will reflect the desired outcomes of 21st Century learners; can also include adaptive and personalized self-assessment
‐	‘re-imagining the classroom’ - demonstrating new learning environments that are enriching and collaborative and that address the diverse learning styles of ALL students; this can include new forms of personalized/customized learning opportunities and may involve simulations and the innovative use of existing or new virtual spaces
It is expected that the resulting proposal from each funded team will demonstrate innovative, ‘on demand’ cloud computing services via an existing cloud.
NOTE: Special consideration will be given to proposals that will benefit students located at multiple institutions, especially those that serve students who are currently under-served or marginalized by existing education opportunities.

Anatomy of patent: Intro
Description of at least one way of making/using invention
Claims - important part

dependent claims are fallback positions.

Europe - didn't want software patent, copyright protection for computer listings.

UK software patents look very tough, UK office rejects a lot of applications.

US patents have low-quality patents
"useful, concrete, and tangible result"

- Symbian Foundation, Linux foundation, Mozilla foundation.

''Current Practice''
SG - software patents,
UK - no programs allowed, except symbian, which showed "faster more reliable computer"
EU - patentable if it is "technical: technical problem by technical means".
US - easier to get patent but make sure "meaningful scope" is taken care of.
- "particular machine or transformation" test

QA:
- patent in terms of functionality not code
- when to file? at what stage? - when you have a design that you think will work.
- possession of the invention - working prototype - for US patents
- can I just patent functionality without embodiment

15-20K USD cost and 5-6 years for process

Networking, OS, GUIs patentable

Clean room practice - but not useful to protect against patent infrigement

Provisional Patent App - Not actually examined by USPTO, but useful to get placeholder to talk to investors

Patent troll - outsourcing patent knowledge and utility to third party

SemEval: Emma's Keyphrase

Rabia - WePS, serverside, data: middle name, skyline, email, url, tokens
Correlation graph: +/- edges, max agree or min disagree
cluster refinement: flesh out singleton clusters via web query 
use single link to connect to other clusters
sharad: use more webpages to get ppl with little web presence.

Pouria - IE refinement data quality, RelDC
Null values in the graph, how to model?  Null can mean 1) takes none of the existing values or 2) unknown (not in source)

Jeffrey - combining multiple speech recos with different recognizers of different confidence and performance values.  Ask about diff vs. ROVER(2).

--

Vivek - temporal and spatial information in twitter overlaid on Earth. acm mm:why ppl contribute to social media; and situation modeling:sum events.

Setareh - (un)faceted event model, things that lie outside rdf/bnf.

Yesun - user model in personal ontology, how to utilize? use fb for profile building, q expansion via user model

Ish - spatial datasets, need to determine the pose of a camera.  camera calibration.

Hamed - video sum in fxpal, traj detect in video for location prediction.

Mingyan - spatial/temporal twitter wrt to streams
borealis - stream processing sys

Alex - context to retr news, now apply to personal photos

Arjun - story generation over emile dataset.  

Pinaki - youtube realtime vision. photo sum.  flash demo for interactive.  math model of sum. also supplement sum with community data. clustering matlab toolkit.

''Ruby install''
install ruby-1.8.6 (ruby 1.9 incompatible with soap4r)
install gem separately: ~/ruby/bin/ruby setup.rb - - prefix=/home/minyenk/.gem

But still environment doesn't work well, do:

    export RUBYLIB="/home/minyenk/ruby/lib:/home/minyenk/.gem/lib";
    export GEM_HOME=~/.gem/gems;
    export PATH=~/ruby/bin/:$PATH:~/.gem/bin/:~/.gem/gems/bin;

then install gems

gem install rails
gem install soap4r
gem install mysql

''Rails''
create rails app and connect it to existing AAN database
rails test
edit config/database.yml:

development:
  adapter: mysql
  database: aan
  username: root
  socket: /home/minyenk/mysql/thesock

auto-create schema.rb from database:
rake db:schema:dump

install active_scaffold (use master branch for rails 2.3 +):
cript/plugin install git://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold.git 

scaffold in a model for every table:
script/generate model -g author name:string ...

''replace scaffold with active_scaffold'':
1 good pointers:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-activescaffold/

2 do listing 6 in above URL

3 change routes.rb to include :active_scaffold => true , e.g.
  map.resources :papers, :active_scaffold => true

P.S. I'd also like to add you to my group's news mailing list. This is a very low (4 emails per year) mailing list (with the subject [WINGnews]) documenting recent work from my research group, WING. If you're interested, just reply to this message and let me know, otherwise, no worries — I'll only add you to the list if you explicitly agree to it.

affects all sectors
affects even senior because ad model changing all over
even about board members rep
monitor event impact immediately instead of month-long marketing survey

id channels that is relevant
need to post process relevant comments because lang too informal, not understandable => manual analysis to bring to 90% acc
short sentence is easier (eg twitter)

''Tech''
search filter is keyword / boolean based
dictionary (ILWC dictionary) but does it use context.
500 per day * 80 = 40000 
most challenge is in nl analysis and multimedia anaylsis
basic word segmentation and dictionary
need confidence levels in sentiment analysis
