Google Tech Talks March, 25 2008 ABSTRACT This talk is about discovering and modeling previously unspecified, recurring themes in a given set of arbitrary images. Given a set of images, each containing frequent occurrences of objects from multiple categories, the goal is to learn a compact model of the categories as well as their relationships, for the purposes of later recognizing/segmenting any occurrences in new images. Categories are not defined by the user. Also, whether and where instances of any categories appear in a specific image is not known. This problem is challenging, since it involves the following unanswered questions. What is an object category? What image properties should be used and how to combine them to discover category occurrences? What is an efficient multicategory representation? We will examine a methodology, developed during my postdoctoral work at UIUC. Each image is represented by a segmentation tree whose nodes correspond to image regions, segmented at all natural scales present, and edges between tree nodes capture the region embedding. The presence of any categories in the image set is then reflected in the frequent occurrence of similar subtrees within the segmentation trees. Our methodology is designed to: (1) match image trees to find similar subtrees; (2) discover categories by clustering similar subtrees, and use the properties of each cluster to learn the model of the associated category; and (3) learn the grammar of the discovered …

DVD contains Karel Teige’s original ABECEDA and Larsen & Friend’s entire performance w/ the film material cleverly edited in. CD contains the audio recordings of the performance. Larsen w/ David Tibet, Johann Johannson, Julia Kent & Baby Dee. Larsen & Friends ABECEDA captures an extremely special evening for Larsen, one that places them in a perfect visual and musical perspective revealing more an a little about this enigmatic quartet from Torino Italy. For one night only Larsen assembled their closest musical friends to play to a sold out crowd at the Teatro Colosseo in Torino Italy. The purpose of the performance was to pay tribute to the work of Czech avant garde designer, typographer, founder of Devestil and cultural radicalist Karel Teige and his Abeceda — a 1926 collaboration with poet Vitoslav Nezva which minimalised text down to its basic components establishing a poetic dialogue between text and images. To Abeceda Larsen brings their minimalist beauty and melody with this live performance incorporating music, dance and projections. With Larsen are their close musical friends David …
Google Tech Talks June, 26 2008 ABSTRACT The Semantic Web presents the vision of a distributed, dynamically growing knowledge base founded on formal logic. Common users, however, seem to have problems even with the simplest Boolean expression. So how can we help users to query a web of logic that they do not seem to understand? One frequently proposed solution to address this problem is the use of natural language (NL) for knowledge specification and querying. We propose to regard formal query languages and NL as two extremes of a continuum, where semistructured languages lie somewhere in the middle. To evaluate what degree of structuredness casual users prefer, we introduce four query interfaces, each at a different point in the continuum, and evaluate the users’ preference and their query performance in a study with 48 subjects. The results of the study reveal that while the users dislike the constraints of a fully structured formal query language they also seem at a loss with the freedom of a full NLP approach. This suggests that restricted query languages will be preferred by casual users because of their guidance effect, mirroring findings from social science theory on human activity in general. Speaker: Prof. Bernstein Abraham Bernstein is a full Professor at the Department of Information Technology (Institut für Informatik) of the University of Zurich. He conducts research on various aspects of supporting dynamic (intra- and inter-) organizational processes. His …
