CS Seminar: Prof. Tina Eliassi-Rad, Measuring Tie Strength in Implicit Social Networks
April 17, 2013 Speaker: Prof. Tina Eliassi-Rad (Rutgers University)Time: 1:00pm-2:00pmLocation: Babbio Center 304
Abstract:Given a set of people and a set of events attended by them, we address the problem of measuring connectedness or tie strength between each pair of persons. The underlying assumption is that attendance at mutual events gives an implicit social network between people. We take an axiomatic approach to this problem. Starting from a list of axioms, which a measure of tie strength must satisfy, we characterize functions that satisfy all the axioms. We then show that there is a range of tie-strength measures that satisfy this charact

Jingrui.He@stevens.edu | CS department distinguished lecture: Dr Larry Davis, Computer Vision: History and Challenges
April 8, 2013 Title: Computer Vision: History and Challenges
Speaker: Dr. Larry Davis (University of Maryland)
Time: Monday, April 8th, 2:00pm-3:00pm
Location: E222
Abstract:
The field of computer vision was started in the 1960’s, in large part driven by applications in document image analysis (mail sorting). Fifty years later, there are many thousands of researchers and engineers around the world conducting fundamental and applied research in computer vision in applications areas ranging from astronomy to zoology. The talk will begin with an overview of the field from an applications

swetzel@cs.stevens.edu | CS department seminar: Haibin Ling, Multi-target Tracking by Rank-1 Tensor Approximation
March 18, 2013 Title: Multi-target Tracking by Rank-1 Tensor Approximation
Speaker: Haibin Ling (http://www.dabi.temple.edu/~hbling/) -- Temple University
Time: Monday, March 18th, 2:00pm-3:00pm
Location: Babbio Center 304
Abstract:
Multi-target tracking (MTT) is an important problem in computer vision and has many applications. We introduce a novel framework for MTT using the rank-1 tensor approximation and propose an L1 norm tensor power iteration solution. In particular, a high order tensor is constructed based on trajectories in the time window, with each tensor element as the affinity of the

ghua@stevens.edu | CS Department seminar: Michael L. Littman (Brown University)
February 14, 2013 Title: Efficiently Learning to Behave Efficiently
Speaker: Michael L. Littman, (http://cs.brown.edu/~mlittman/), Brown University
Time: Thursday, February 14th, 4:00pm-5:00pm
Location: Babbio Center 210
Host: Jingrui He
Abstract:
The field of reinforcement learning is concerned with the problem of learning efficient behavior from experience. In real life applications, gathering this experience is time-consuming and possibly costly, so it is critical to derive algorithms that can learn effective behavior with bounds on the experience necessary to do so. This talk presents our successful
