Complete video at: fora.tv Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Google, responds to the theory that frequent technology use negatively affects the mind. He lauds the surprising mental benefits of video games, but expresses concern about the toll constantly relying on a computing device may take on long term cognition. ——- Some of the same technologies, such as cloud computing and semantic search, that make the most popular social networking applications possible are now being applied to development, education and healthcare delivery. How can these readily available technologies be best leveraged to address complex issues? - World Economic Forum Eric Emerson Schmidt, Ph.D is chairman and CEO of Google, Inc. and a member of the board of directors of Apple, Inc.

Research by Bill Freeman, Josef Sivic, Biliana Kaneva, Shai Avidan, and Antonio Torralba. We present a system for exploring large collections of photos in a virtual 3D space. Our system does not assume the photographs are of a single real 3D location, nor that they were taken at the same time. Instead, we organize the photos in themes, such as city streets or skylines, and let users navigate within each theme using intuitive 3D controls that include pan, zoom and rotate. Themes allows us to maintain a coherent semantic meaning to the tour, while visual similarity allows us to create a “being there” impression, as if the images were of a particular location. We present results on a collection of several millions of images downloaded from Flickr and broken into themes that consist of a few hundred thousands images each. A byproduct of our system is the ability to construct extremely long panoramas, as well as image taxi, a program that generates a virtual tour between a user supplied start and finish images. The system, and its underlying technology can be used in a variety of applications such as games, movies and online virtual 3D spaces like Second Life.

Here is a one minute pitch on our semantic marketing technology (without screen captures).

Google Tech Talks August 6, 2008 ABSTRACT Web advertising, hasn’t delivered its potential value to advertisers. This is partcularly true for contextual advertisement. The main problem is that the marriage of ad and the content of a page is based on algorithms that do not offer satisfactory results in understanding the actual meaning of the content of a web page. Try the search “stock base” in Google or Yahoo. You will get many more pages about equities than you do about soup. Yet the ads placed on these pages are too often not related to the main topic of the article. Showing an ad about food when the intended use of “stock base” was in the context of equities it’s a mismatch. Expert System now offers a revolutionary solution that automatically processes the meaning of the text to ensure that the ads selected are relevant. Expert System’s CSA (Cogito Semantic Ad) relies on its Semantic Intelligence technology to analyze text on the page through linguistic analysis and Semantic Comprehension to assure that promotional information can be served more effectively. Speaker: Marco Varone Founder, CTO, and Director of the Board of Expert System, Marco is the “father” of the technology behind the Company’s products and a key driver of the Company with his vision and technical skills. Marco is responsible for the R activities and roadmap in the software and linguistic areas. Marco holds a degree in Computer Science at the University of Modena with honors. Speaker: Luca Scagliarini
