The document lists 10 categories for nominations in 2010: 1) Person of the Year, 2) Publication of the Year, 3) Discovery of the Year, 4) Fight Club, 5) Mobility, 6) Special Nomination for TC, 7) Special Nomination for RT, 8) Special Nomination for RF, 9) History, and 10) Inspiration. Each category provides brief descriptions of the nominees without announcing the winners.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document discusses a music recommendation system project that uses content-based filtering and collaborative filtering techniques. Content-based filtering extracts features from songs to find similar songs based on acoustic content. Collaborative filtering matches users based on similar tastes and ratings to generate recommendations. The project has developed a website using Ruby on Rails for the frontend and Python for the backend. Current work involves completing the collaborative filtering approach and exploring query by humming algorithms.
This document provides a summary of Jared C. Lineberger's qualifications and experience. It includes his contact information, objectives of obtaining an architectural license and owning a design firm, work history from 2002-2009 including positions at various companies, his 2009 bachelor's degree from ASU, and skills including CAD and design programs. It also notes his registration with the state board and Associate AIA membership.
The document presents a no-reference algorithm for assessing the quality of images compressed with JPEG2000. It describes how the algorithm analyzes statistical properties of wavelet coefficients to estimate quality without an original image for comparison. The algorithm was tested on a dataset of images compressed at different ratios and its estimates of quality showed high correlation with mean opinion scores from human subjects. The no-reference quality assessment method provides an important alternative to full-reference metrics for practical applications.

27faces is a tool that uses online audience measurement to provide information about viewers of digital signage networks, including the number of potential viewers, how long they watch, their gender and age. It can be installed on any computer and offers statistics in the cloud without needing to be purchased, just rented. It provides insights for marketing and merchandising experts using digital signage.
The document lists nominations for awards in 2012 in 7 categories: 1) Person of the Year, 2) Meeting of the Year, 3) Victory of the Year, 4) Innovation of the Year, 5) Presentation of the Year, 6) Opening of the Year, and 7) Inspiration. It then provides descriptions and photos for each category's nominees and past winners. The end suggests potential nominations for 2013, including Demino, Spring Smarty, a Trip to Hong Kong, DSPA, Seliger Summer School, a Schedule, Fall Smarty, and New Year's Eve on December 21st, 2013.
The document discusses a music recommendation system being developed by group G6. It describes extracting audio features from music to create feature vectors for clustering songs and recommending similar songs. It also discusses using a seed song to generate automatic playlists and improving recommendations by incorporating user preferences, listening histories, and feedback. Limitations include lack of user data and the expense of clustering large feature vectors. Future work may include gathering implicit user data and improving the recommendation algorithm.
The document proposes modified algorithms based on rank-order statistics and switching schemas for restoring digital images corrupted by salt-and-pepper noise and random valued impulse noise. It introduces the Modified Progressive Switching Median Filter (MPSM) which uses a noise detection step followed by a filtration procedure. For salt-and-pepper noise, MPSM achieves 1-2 dB higher PSNR than other filters. For random valued impulse noise, MPSM provides 0.5 dB higher PSNR than other algorithms.
This document provides an agenda for a presentation on the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML). The agenda includes an overview of PMML, how to construct a PMML document, an overview of XML Schema Definition (XSD) which is used to define the structure of PMML documents, how to read the PMML specification, and next steps. The presentation is intended for LatentView and contains examples of PMML, XSD, and how they are used together.
This document discusses poverty in India. It defines poverty and provides statistics on poverty rates. Some key facts presented include that as of 2005, 85.7% of the population lives on less than $2.50 per day and 27.5% were below the poverty line in 2004-2005. Rural poverty rates in some states are higher than in some of the world's poorest countries. The document also examines various causes of poverty in India such as British colonial policies, unemployment, population growth, and the caste system. It concludes by noting that poverty alleviation is expected to improve over the next 50 years as the middle class grows.
