Google Tech Talks May, 23 2008 ABSTRACT Overview: Mark Birbeck has spent a number of years working on flexible user interfaces, both by developing software and working with the W3C on new standards. His latest work involves creating an Ajax framework that uses metadata embedded in HTML documents to drive dynamic user interfaces. The framework makes it easy for authors to build interactive sites, whilst still creating accessible, searchable documents. In this talk Mark will look at how embedded metadata can be used by anyone from scientific researchers to bloggers, through news organisations to photographers, to improve how their pages are understand and interacted with. Speaker: Mark Birbeck Mark Birbeck devised RDFa, a new standard from the W3C that allows metadata to be embedded in HTML and XHTML documents, rather than being stored separately. Web pages enriched in this way provide more accurate information for use in search engines, as well as creating enormous potential for building a new generation of interactive tools for the end-user. Mark is also involved in the XForms Working Group and the XHTML 2 Working Group, has contributed to books on XML and RDF, blogs regularly about XForms, the semantic web, and RIAs, and his company, webBackplane develops a range of open source software for semantic-driven user interfaces. His profile is at webBackplane.com

Google Tech Talks May 25, 2007 ABSTRACT The Semantic Web is a field aiming a the creation, deployment, and interoperation of machine readable data on the Internet. In the talk we present some projects in DERI on Semantic Web technologies - notably Semantic Interlinking of Online Community sites, Social Semantic Collaborative Filtering, and ActiveRDF, a library for Browsing, programming and navigating Semantic Web data. The SIOC (Semantic Interlinking of Online Communities) project [1] is an effort aiming at establishing and deploying a metadata vocabulary for interlinking and connecting distributed conversation on blogs, bulletin boards, and mailing lists. The vocabulary has been implemented…
Google Tech Talks November 11, 2008 ABSTRACT Berners-Lee’s vision of the Semantic Web is hindered by a chicken-and-egg problem, which can be best solved by a bootstrapping method: creating enough structured data to motivate the development of applications. We believe that autonomously `Semantifying Wikipedia’ is the best way to bootstrap. We choose Wikipedia as an initial data source, because it is comprehensive, high-quality, modestly sized, and contains enough manually-derived structure to bootstrap an autonomous, self-supervised process. In this talk I will present our success to date in this endeavor: A novel approach for self-supervised learning of CRF information extractors Automatic construction of a comprehensive ontology via statistical-relational learning Vast improvements in extraction recall through shrinkage over this ontology and retraining The stimulation of a virtuous feedback cycle between communal content creation and information extraction We aim to construct a knowledge base of outstanding size to support inference, automatic question answering, faceted browsing, and potentially to bootstrap the Semantic Web. Speaker: Daniel S. Weld Daniel S. Weld is Thomas J. Cable / WRF Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. After formative education at Phillips Academy, he received bachelor’s degrees in both Computer Science and Biochemistry at Yale University in 1982. He landed a Ph.D. from the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab …
original song, i plan on doing better versions with higher quality resolution but i wanted to get some stuff posted “many men think money is medicine needle to the vein syringe filled with sin were we ever really meant to win check the world’s 360 degree spin just when we think something new begins it’s when we realize we’re really at the end we keep making the same mistakes again & again medicine man won’t you help me just as fast as you can medicine man please lend me your hand we think technology is the path that paves the way to progression simplify life with your new invention but we still haven’t learned to control the tension not to mention calm the chaos within material possessions reduce all the agression dollars are used to deodorize the deception medicine man won’t you help me just as fast as you can medicine man please lend me your hand reality turns to TVland perspective molded by the business man and lives are lost by the shake of their hands the truth lies in metaphors you can smell the fear coming out of our pores and we sell our souls so cheap to become their whores medicine man won’t you help me just as fast as you can medicine man please lend me your hand politicians can make the truth bend manipulate minds much like magicians semantic wizards blur fact & fiction now you figure out what’s real & what’s pretend pay attention & learn the lesson wake up & live if not now then when one man can change the world if we do what we can one woman can change the …

Video Revolution from W3C: Video Codec Must Be Free…..and Mozilla and Opera are (Nearly) Ready Just as software for putting still images on a web page is free, so should codecs for encoding and decoding video, said Philippe Le Hegaret, Architect Domain Leader at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3) headed by Tim Berners-Lee. Video encoding, the essential process in which video is compressed, converted and then decoded for the Web, is patented by entities including Fraunhofer, Futjisu, Sony, The Trustees of Columbia University, Microsoft and Hitachi. These groups license software, called codecs, to be used in various formats including Flash, WMV, MPEG 4 and Silverlight. Information on this can be found at MPEG LA. The W3C advocates a revolutionary idea: the availability of a royalty-free encoding technology so anyone can create video without having to pay. An open-source, free codec called Theora, is about to get wide visibility with its emergence on the latest versions of the Mozilla and Opera browsers, where it is in very early Alpha. PC Week reported on this Friday with a story from Jeremy Kirk. Theora is an evolved version of an early On2 codec, VP3, which was released by the company for the open source community. It has been developed by Xiph. Philippe is not sure that Theora is the answer to royalty-free encoding as there are complex patent law issues, but it’s an important development, he says. In a glimpse of likely patent battles ahead, just this week, Nokia …

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. He also sits on the Princeton University board of trustees. Since coming to Google, Schmidt has focused on building the corporate infrastructure needed to maintain Google’s rapid growth as a company and ensuring that quality remains high while product development cycle times are kept to a minimum. Schmidt shares responsibility for Google’s day-to-day operations. Schmidt was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as a fellow in 2007.
